NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 series in a Mini-ITX form factor
Install your graphics card in the top PCI slot. Typically, on motherboards, the top spot is the fastest and is usually what you should use if you have one graphics card.

This generation of TUF Gaming graphics cards also feature a dedicated heatsink for VRAM to keep temperatures well under maximum operating specs.
Manufacturers have unveiled the first Mini-ITX graphics cards based on NVIDIA Ampere architecture.
MSI announced its AERO ITX series (OC and non-OC) variants at CES 2021. The company has not yet listed the graphics card on their website, but the first picture of the card was attached to the press release. We have not seen the AERO series this much in the current generation, as those cards were usually based on a blower-type cooler design, with an exception for the ITX sub-series. The card appears to use standard display outputs and a single fan. MSI has not yet confirmed the clock speeds nor if the card has more than one 8 pin power connector, although it would have been surprising if it did.
Meanwhile, PALIT revealed its StormX model alongside the RTX 3060 Dual. Both cards feature NVIDIA reference clock speeds as well as default TGP and power connector configuration (1x 8pin). PALIT has not yet confirmed its plans for the OC variants.
