Gigabyte Mini-ITX GTX 970 Graphics Card
Gigabyte has produced a Mini-ITX GeForce GTX 970 Graphics Card, yeah it's cute alright. You soon will be able to find it under SKU code GV-N970IXOC-4GD. The card is running at 1076 MHz Base with a Boost clock of 1216 MHz, which is actually a notch faster then the reference cards. The card has a single 8-pin PCI-Express power connector.
The cooler on the card hints towards the WindForce 3X design but obviously just has one fan opposed to three. It comes with a "Triangle Cool" design to guide the air for more effective cooling. Heat is transferred to this fin array through two 8 mm heatpipes and one 5 mm heatpipe.
The card runs at roughly 62 degrees C while running the Metro Last Night benchmark, not bad really. Though the card is still a dual-slot solution it is narrower than other high-performance Mini-ITX graphics card solutions that we've seen in the past. Gigabyte's card is only 12 cm in length. Monitor outputs are the same as the larger 900-series card from Gigabyte, consisting of two DVI ports, three DisplayPort interfaces, and an HDMI port.
Gigabyte has priced the card at $329.99, which is Nvidia's reference MSRP pricing. Mighty interesting !

Man its cool that they managed to put the same input layout as its standard big brother. This would be ideal for those users who want a LAN party style computer that is portable.

Gigabyte explained to me today that this product is intended for SI only (system Integrators) and thus that makes it an OEM product. Hence there are no samples and there is no retail availability.
I've explained that this is exactly the kind of product a lot of consumers would purchase with Mini ITX and Micro ATX being hip form factors. They seem interested as to what I explained so they still might release a batch for end-users. Will keep you guys updated if anything should change.

It ended before it even started
If its intended for OEM, they should not even announce it to the public. i hve noticed some good stuff getting cannibalized by OEM, like the AMD 610e, intel 3330s and intel 4430s, as well as toshiba ssds. all of the aforementioned are low power parts, hence it fits in thier sff machines, which leaves the public with the hot and heavy stuff .

this graphics card makes me want to build an HTPC now :/ .. guess that will be my next project, I have an Asrock H87M Pro4 intel Z87 mATX mainboard and 8gig ddr3 1600 laying around doing nothing so might as well put them to good use.
