A single-slot GeForce RTX 3060 with no external power connector has appeared on Newegg for $495.59. The SRhonyra RTX 3060 Low Profile is designed to run entirely off the PCIe x16 slot's power budget, retaining the full 12 GB of GDDR6 and the GA106 die. However, it removes the standard 6-pin and 8-pin connectors required for the card's 170 W TDP.

Newegg lists a 70 W TDP, just under the 75 W the slot can provide. The card features a single-slot blower cooler with one HDMI 2.1 and one DisplayPort 1.4a output. Because the 70 W TDP falls below the 100 W floor the RTX 3060 normally reaches via undervolting, shunt-modding the power-sensing circuit was required.

Testing on a similar card showed clocks struggling to reach 900 MHz against a 1,777 MHz boost, with 3DMark Time Spy scores around half of a normal RTX 3060 and behind a GTX 1060. SRhonyra markets this unit not as a gaming card, but as an "AI-capable" GPU for running 7B to 13B parameter local LLMs. For SFF builds lacking space for power cables or a second slot, it remains one of the few options, though $495 feels steep for such a compromised product.
