Louqe Cobalt RC260 TwinAX Gen4+ PCI-E 4.0 Rise Cable.MSI MPG B550I Gaming Edge Wifi Motherboard.All benchmark results were rounded up or down as appropriate for simplicity.All tests were conducted at the game’s maximum in-game graphics settings unless noted.Fan speeds for both GPUs were left at stock settings.For the RTX 3060ti Aero ITX, stock timings were used.For the GTX 1070 Aero ITX, a +150 core and +200 memory overclock was used.GPU Temperature was measured with MSI Afterburner and CPUID HW Monitor. Temperature, power usage, and core speed testing were measured via Furmark after 15 minutes at 100% usage.Aside from the program itself, open apps included FRAPS, RivaTuner, MSI Afterburner, and either Steam, Origin, Gog Galaxy, or Epic Store app depending on the game selected to test.

Nvidia Game Driver 471.96 was used for testing after a clean install.76 meters away from the right front corner of the case. Audio measurements were taken from 2.5 feet or.Temperature testing was conducted in an airconditioned room at 22C or 71.6f.Except where as noted, all performance tests were run three times per test, and averaged.The boost clock is rated at 1695mhz, which is just short of the 1710mhz of the next smallest 3060Ti, and slightly faster of than the Founders Edition. On paper, there is no penalty in terms of advertised performance by choosing the Aero 3060Ti over other 3060Tis. At least for now, it appears that the only way to get this card is to import it from outside the USA. The card does show up on MSI’s USA website, but I was unable to locate a single listing for sale from any US based retailer. We purchased this Aero 3060Ti at street prices, which at the time of writing, is $1099 from a single Chinese third-party seller on New Egg. The card we are reviewing is not a manufacture supplied testing sample. You can’t get this card at MSRP currently in the USA. It doesn’t matter what the MSRP of the Aero 3060Ti is. Only time will tell if this becomes a limiting factor, but if you look back to the GTX 970 and 980, their usefulness has been limited by their 4GB of memory, while the 980Ti continues to provide good performance levels with 6GB of VRAM. This will be the third generation of $400 to $500 class cards with only 8GB of memory, and may shorten the effective lifetime of the cards as games become more demanding. Nvidia’s choice to design this generation of cards to use the same amount of memory we’ve seen in the last two generations of cards is at the heart of the issue. The memory issue has little to do with MSI.

The core clock is listed at 1695MHz for the boost clock, and like every other 3060ti, it comes with a disappointingly small 8GB of GDDR6 memory. Display output includes three DisplayPort 1.4a ports, and a single HDMI 2.1 port. It features a single axial fan, and a single 8-pin power connector. In terms of size, the card is a mere 172x125x43 mm. Unfortunately, other cases may require more modification. Fortunately, the CCD MI-6 can easily be adjusted to accept the card. In my CCD MI-6 test case, the backplate caused minor clearance issue that was resolved by removing four rubber spacers. When it comes to small form factor graphics cards, a back plate is less desirable as it can interfere with what minimal clearances your case may have. The fan has fewer blades, but they are a larger diameter than the Aero 1070 that we have for comparison. The plastic cover on the front is nothing special, and virtually identical to the previous Aero ITX models. The Aero 3060Ti is very compact but sports a heft to it. If you fit into that category, the question isn’t so much of “Are you going to buy it?”, but rather “What you can expect when you get it?”. Three centimeters may not sound like much, but in the small form factor world it’s the difference between a card that fits and buying a new case.įor those that need a card this small and want a 3060Ti, this is their only option. The next smallest 3060Ti is the EVGA RTX 3060 TI XC Gaming, and is nearly 3cm longer at 201.8mm long. It’s currently the only single fan RTX 3060Ti on the market, and the only 3060ti designed to fit ultra-compact ITX cases. The MSI RTX 3060Ti Aero ITX 8G OC LHR (Aero 3060Ti for short) is a one-of-a-kind video card. Note: The conclusion of this video card has been updated due to increased availability as of 7-27-2022.
