AI CuratedSingle-slot low-profile 75W RTX 3060 with no power connectors disappoints in tests — GPU runs entirely off the PCIe slot, but offers severely crippled performance and frightening thermals
Tom's Hardware tests a custom Chinese RTX 3060 variant that runs solely off the PCIe slot at 75W. The card barely clocks above 900 MHz, scores 4,821 in Time Spy (versus 9,000+ for a stock 3060), and hits 90°C hotspot. The cooler lacks a fin stack, thermal pads, and proper airflow, making it a poor performer even for low-power systems.
