Gigabyte has just announced a new member of its mini-ITX graphics card lineup, the Geforce GTX 1070 mini-ITX OC.

Based on a short 17cm PCB, the GC-N1070IXOC-8GD features a dual-slot cooler with three copper heatpipes and 90mm fan. Although it is slightly taller than the PCB and your standard graphics card, it is significantly shorter than anything in its class as it packs Nvidia's Pascal GP104 GPU with 1920 CUDA cores and 8GB of GDDR5 memory.

Despite the fact that it is based on a shorter PCB and smaller cooler, it appears that Gigabyte had some room to include a decent factory-overclock pushing the card to 1531MHz for the GPU base and 1721MHz for the GPU Boost clock in Gaming mode. This is not a bad factory-overclock considering that the reference one works at 1506MHz for the GPU base and 1683MHz for the GPU Boost clock.

The Gigabyte GTX 1070 mini-ITX OC also has an OC mode which can be enabled via Gigabyte's software and which pushes this small graphics card to 1556MHz for the GPU base and 1746MHz for the GPU Boost clock.

Gigabyte also updated the VRM part of it, equipping it with 5+1-phase VRM, which draws power from a single 8-pin PCI-Express power connector. Display output configuration includes two DVI ports, single HDMI and single DisplayPort output.

Unfortunately, Gigabyte did not reveal any details regarding the price or the actual availability date but we will surely keep an eye out for this card.
