News Single Slot RX 460 spotted

HIS has announced the RX 460 Slim-iCooler OC, which is a single slot, pci-powered radeon rx 460. I haven't found an official product page yet, but the news is being posted on some tech sites. The fan is said to be idle under 60 degrees celsius.

EDIT: the product page doesn't seem accessible atm, but there's a copy in google's cache: http://webcache.googleusercontent.c.../product2-940.shtml+&cd=2&hl=nl&ct=clnk&gl=be

What an interesting card. Would be nice if there was a low profile single slot version... (I'm looking at you, MSI)

 

[confusis]

Do like! I wonder if they will be easy to source :/

Full product page is now accessible! http://www.hisdigital.com/us/product2-940.shtml

Oh sweet, now we just need a single-slot 1050 Ti and a low-profile 460 and we'll have both camps covered.

I smell bench off!

They look exactly the same only different brand graphics.

An official news post has been made regarding the new single-slot RX 460 cards.

They look exactly the same only different brand graphics.

Most likely they are using a common OEM or they are sharing the design. But two suppliers are better than one, especially for niche products not always available in all regions.

The XFX wins by default, because the red stripe makes it faster

Also XFX has yet to list this card in their official website.

Yea, I thought that was kind of funny.

I was searching everywhere for card dimensions and there were no resources posted on their site.

They look to be using the exact same heatsink and shroud but with different designs for branding. I want to see a Sapphire one.

 

[CC Ricers]

Going out on a limb and say the dimensions are exactly the same as the HIS card, if those are available. And I actually don't like the red stripe much, at least the way it's painted on. They should've stuck with black and silver as they did with their HD 7xxx cards.

Not the same heatsink - the shroud for the HIS has engraving for the honeycomb pattern, the fan mounting is different, and the wiring routing is different. The PCB is identical though, even down to the 160621KL moniker.

It also appears the HIS has a copper base to the heatsink - http://www.hisdigital.com/UserFiles/product/_DSC0201_5_1600.jpg

Whereas the XFX does not - http://cdn.videocardz.net/cache/0e040bec2a8d70eeff1f194b3bc9b318-1200x900.jpg

Just tried seeing if there is an Elsa 1050ti out in Japan yet (they did the slim 750ti a couple years ago) but no luck : /

That could be photographic angle trickery, I would expect the XFX also has a copper base.

If you flick between the pictures clearly and look for a few points of reference, this appears to be a design any company can copy and rebrand as their own. The fans for both are in the same spot (between the screws) and XFX's shroud is pretty much identical apart from the design. I mean, looking at the reflection in the XFX fan, you can see they're quite similar, but imo the HIS one looks a lot better.

I was searching everywhere for card dimensions and there were no resources posted on their site.

In any case, those two GPUs both look suspiciously close to 170mm length and reference height.
