ASUS has listed the GeForce RTX 4060 LP BRK 8GB GDDR6, a custom version of NVIDIA’s lower-ended Ada GPU for gamers that features a low-profile, 2-slot design, but with a triple- rather than dual-fan cooling configuration. An OC version that boosts up to 2,520 MHz (vs. 2,490 MHz) will also be available.

Features:

  • NVIDIA Ada Lovelace Streaming Multiprocessors: Up to 2X performance and power efficiency
  • 4th Generation Tensor Cores: Up to 4x performance with DLSS 3 vs. brute-force rendering
  • 3rd Generation RT Cores: Up to 2x ray tracing performance
  • IP5X dust resistance offers protection from particle ingress for better durability.
  • Dual ball fan bearings can last up to twice as long as sleeve bearing designs.
  • A 2-slot design maximizes compatibility and cooling efficiency for superior performance in small chassis.
  • Auto-Extreme technology uses automation to enhance reliability.
  • GPU Tweak III provides intuitive performance tweaking, thermal controls, and system monitoring.

Key specs:

  • CUDA cores: 3,072
  • Clocks: 2,490 MHz (OC), 2,460 MHz (default)
  • Memory: 8 GB GDDR 6
  • Memory speed: 17 Gbps
  • Memory interface: 128-bit
  • Connectivity: 2x HDMI 2.1a, 2x Display Port 1.4a
  • Power connector: 1x 6-pin
  • Recommended PSU: 550 watts

ASUS on its IP5X dust resistance, dual ball fan bearings, and 2-slot design:

Dust is enemy number one for fans. It’s easy to clean the blades, but taking the fan apart to remove dust that has made its way inside is not a simple task. Passing the IP5X certification means the housing is safe from nasty particulates, so you’ll never need that deep clean.

Different bearing types have unique pros and cons. Ball bearings excel at durability and can last up to twice as long as sleeve bearing designs.

A carefully designed shroud and heatsink layout allows the fans to leverage chassis side-panel ventilation and deliver thermal performance that belies the card’s size.
