This is very exciting news for the Small Form Factor (SFF) space, with the previous top gaming low profile card being the GTX 1650, the RTX 4060 should offer around 2 - 3 times higher FPS in…
JayzTwoCents released an early RTX 4060 performance review video, showcasing some strong FPS figures at an impressively low power usage - could we be seeing the first signs of a shift back toward prioritising lower power usage, and what does this mean for the Small Form Factor space? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKoZvGi3um8 Before I go into the nitty…
