The new low-profile Nvidia RTX 3060 12 GB graphics card has appeared on Newegg with a price tag of $496. This single-slot model is designed to operate without external power connectors, drawing its entire 70 W power requirement directly from the PCIe slot. Its compact form factor allows for installation in small-form-factor systems and enables multiple cards to be used in a single machine.
Manufacturer SRhonyra positions this hardware as a solution for local AI tasks, specifically for running 7B to 13B parameter large language models. The card features two monitor outputs and is intended for users looking to pool VRAM by installing multiple units in one system. Due to the 70 W power limit, its performance is expected to be lower than standard RTX 3060 models, which typically draw up to 175 W.
