From PC World: One of the smaller, less bombastic stories to come out of Computex is that Nvidia has created a new set of SFF guidelines for graphics cards that can fit within more compact builds. These small GPUs are a big deal for builders put off by the ballooning sizes of modern graphics cards.
Nvidia’s standard keeps the cards under 50mm thick (2.5 slots in case terms), 304mm long, and 151mm tall—and Asus and Zephyr are now showing off the first cards that fit the new standard.
These SFF (“Small Form Factor”) cards still aren’t as svelte as the old one- and two-slot powerhouses from back in the day, but they should open up considerably more options for builders who want to get a polygon-pushing gaming PC into an ITX case like the Fractal Design Terra or Cooler Master NR200P.
Asus showed off a series of SFF cards in the RTX 40 family at the start of this month, but Tom’s Hardware says that at least some models are going on sale via international retailers. That means they should show up in US retail stores soon, too.
