A unique single-slot GeForce RTX 3060 GPU recently appeared in a Bilibili video, showcasing a smartphone-sized, low-profile design. The navy blue card features a blower-style cooler and lacks external power connectors, drawing all power from the PCIe slot.

Testing reveals significant performance trade-offs for the compact form factor. The GPU scored 4,821 in 3DMark Time Spy, trailing the GTX 1060 and RX 580. While it has a 1,777 MHz boost clock, the core clock struggled to sustain 900 MHz during the benchmark.

Thermal and power data suggest the card uses shunt modding to bypass limits. GPU-Z reported a 145W board draw and 176W chip draw, leading to hotspot temperatures exceeding 90 degrees Celsius. The unit includes one HDMI and one DisplayPort for video output.
