a single slot RTX 4060 Ti is a real thing and it's been tested!

Galax launches single-slot RTX 4060 Ti — uses a very slim blower design

Tests reveal that cooler noise may be an issue.

it's coming from Galax, so good luck finding one in North America...but no surprise, it's loud as hell under load hitting almost 52dBA!

So you have to use it with noise cancelling headphones? Looking at the dBA chart, that's close to people having a conversion next to you. It's already annoying enough in an office environment, can't imagine it at home while gaming.

I kinda wish for even smaller. An RTX 4xxx series gpu that's single slot, ITX -length AND low profile would be killer for HTPCs. 4xxx series can handle every codec up to high-end AV1 without issues.

I can see a use-case for it in HTPC's. When you want the card to be quiet, i.e. when watching a movie, it shouldn't be making any noise. Then, if you want to game, throw the headphones on, because you're likely by your lonesome anyway.
