PNY has officially has just revealed its latest gaming GPUs for the enthusiast who love SFF builds! targeting users who want the high-end performance of NVIDIA’s RTX 50 series, without the massive footprint typically associated with enthusiast-grade hardware. The new Nvidia GeForce RTX 50 Series Slim models include the RTX 5080, RTX 5070 Ti, and RTX 5070, all featuring a dual-slot design that makes them some of the most compact cards in their class!
PNY GeForce RTX 50 Series Slim Models
These cards are designed specifically for those looking to build powerful systems in smaller chassis. By sticking to a strict two-slot width, PNY is ensuring these GPUs are compatible with a wider range of mATX and small form factor (SFF) cases that often struggle to accommodate the “thicker” cards seen in recent generations.
To keep things cool in such a tight space, PNY has overhauled its thermal design. The RTX 5080 and 5070 Ti models utilise two large 120mm fans combined with a massive vapor chamber and an aluminium backplate. This setup is designed to provide superior cooling while maintaining ultra-quiet operation. For those who like to tinker, the cards are compatible with PNY’s VelocityX software, allowing for custom clock tuning and fan speed monitoring too.

What We Think
It is refreshing to see a manufacturer focus on the dual-slot form factor for enthusiast cards. As GPUs have grown larger and heavier, the demand for slim models that do not sag or block every other PCIe slot on a motherboard has increased.
Where to Buy
The PNY GeForce RTX 50 Series Slim Models will be offered in both standard and overclocked versions. Expected availability is slated for February 2026 at major retailers including BestBuy and Amazon.
