MSI has added the new MSI Radeon RX 460 2GT LP to their website. Big thanks to community member robbee for the discovery!
This card joins the low profile ranks of the Galax 1050 LP, Zotac 1050/ti, and MSI’s own 1050 LP that we have previously showcased. However, unlike those cards, this GPU uses a single slot at the back with a dual slot cooler which should open up a few doors to some users. The MSI Radeon RX 460 low profile graphics cards will be offered in both a 2GB and a 4GB variant.
While the specifications, as well as the design, aren’t bringing anything new to the table, this card is perfect for those highly compact and energy efficient builds as it consumes just 75 watts through the PCIe lane. The new dual fan, MSI Radeon RX 460 2GT LP offers a single Dual-link DVI-D and HDMI out and the card supports HDR, Freesync, as well as Crossfire.
Here is a complete list of specification from the manufacturers website.
