The Inno3D RTX 4060 Ti Twin X2 ships in a mostly black box, but with a large Twin X2 logo – along with some sort of robotic creature – visible on the front. On the back, Inno3D highlights various key features of the card and cooler design.
The only included accessories are a small power supply guide, as well as a separate quick start guide.
Looking at the card itself, Inno3D is making use of a two-tone appearance for the shroud – one half is matte black, and the other half is a brushed grey finish. It's made entirely from plastic, so the brushed section isn't made of metal, but it feels solid enough in the hand. Then again, the Founders Edition is undeniably a much more premium looking card available at the same price, so it's something to consider.
In terms of those two fans, Inno3D is using what it calls ‘scythe' fan blades, with a total of 11 per fan. Each fan measures 88mm in diameter.
As for dimensions of the Twin X2, it's pretty compact at 250 x 118 x 42mm. For reference, the Founders Edition measures 242mm x 112mm – so both cards are traditional dual-slot models, and while the Twin X2 is a hair longer, the difference is not large. It does weigh in at 761g, compared to 1032g for the Founders, making it 26% lighter.
The front side of the card is home to the Inno3D and GeForce RTX logos, but it's worth noting there is no lighting of any kind on the Twin X2.
Meanwhile, we can see a full length metal backplate is utilised, with a cut-out behind the GPU core and several cut-outs towards the end of the card to allow air to pass directly through the heatsink and out into the chassis.
Display outputs are standard, consisting of 3x DisplayPort 1.4 and 1x HDMI 2.1.
We can also note that Inno3D – like most partners – has opted to fit the card with a single 8-pin power connector, so no adapters or new 12VHPWR cables required.
Moving on to look at the PCB, the first thing to note is how compact it is, as the PCB is barely longer than the PCIe x16 slot! Inno3D has opted for a five-phase VRM for the GPU, using 55 Amp Alpha & Omega AOZ5311NQI MOSFETs, controlled by a UPI UP9512R. The memory is a single-phase, using one UPI Semi QN3103 and two QN3107 MOSFETs, utilising a 7212 controller.
The cooler meanwhile looks more than adequate for this level of heat from the AD106 GPU. A reasonably dense aluminium finstack is deployed, connected by three 6mm heatpipes. The GPU and memory modules contact with a plated copper base, while the GPU MOSFETs are cooled by a separate base plate.
No thermal pads are positioned on the underside of the backplate.
