The 1 million dollar question: Does it sells for a low, compact price ?

Wow, a worthwhile GPU that is actually 2 slots, and low-profile. Thought I'd never see such a thing again. This is what irritates me so much about modern trends. You can get an 8GB 4060 in a form factor like this: https://c1.neweggimages.com/ProductImageCompressAll1280/14-126-672-V08.jpg Full profile and uses up 2.5 slots (so it might as well be 3), and I'm sure it ain't silent. Roughly same price too. It's really frustrating when there are so few options out there for a GPU that only takes up 2 slots, or god forbid - one. For ITX builds, these 2.5+ slot designs can be difficult to fit in a lot of cases. For ATX builds, sometimes you may need the expansion slot below the GPU. This trend wouldn't bother me so much if OEMs weren't making 5 flavors of roughly the same physical limitations, while often lying about some being 2 slots. Having a design or two that takes up more than 2 slots is fine, but it often feels like most options are like this for GPUs that don't even break 300W. Some of us are fine with adding a few dB of fan noise for the sake of having a GPU that actually fits.

@schmidtbag something tells me that this card will be fine with even a single slit cooler with out getting to noisy ...is 110 watts.... And for sure they can fit the cooling on 1.5-2 slot solution. Dear aibs ! Is not the size of your cooling is how you use it!
