Low-Profile RTX 3060 12 GB Card Hits Newegg

Nvidia's RTX 3060 12 GB card is back on the market, but this time it's in a low-profile version that can be powered by just 70W of power from the PCIe slot. The SRhonyra RTX 3060 12 GB Low Profile card is currently listed at Newegg for $495.59, which is more than the original price of $339.99 reported two months ago.

This low-profile version of the card makes it easy to fit multiple cards in a single machine without worrying about airflow or power supply limitations. The SRhonyra RTX 3060 12 GB Low Profile card can be used as a secondary GPU or in conjunction with other GPUs to pool their VRAM and run larger models.

SRhonyra is marketing this card as 'capable of local AI' and suitable for running LLMs, but the performance will likely be lower than that of a standard-dimensioned RTX 3060 due to its limited power draw.
