Despite the catchy name StormX, this line includes compact and relatively simple graphics cards with a shortened printed circuit board and a massive single fan. They are designed for compact Cube case and barebone systems, but despite the miniature design, they are able to provide a high level of performance.

For example, in the ranks of StormX you can find a GeForce GTX 3060-level card, for which in 2021 most gamers would give not a hand, but a finger. It's a true gaming machine with performance on par with the recent flagship RTX 2080, 12GB of GDDR6 VRAM, slight factory overclocking, and a full array of external monitor ports. To some extent, this is a unique opportunity to build a really powerful and at the same time compact gaming PC with the prospect of playing in 2K resolution. If needed.


However, the StormX series is based on mid-range cards such as the GeForce 1050 Ti and GTX 1660, which simply cut the length of the printed circuit board. For example, the length of the GTX 1660 SUPER in the StormX version is only 168 mm (against the reference 226 mm), while a single fan maintains the same temperature of the video chip as analogs with dual cooling. The only difference is that the StormX models are a little more noisy, and the frequencies are kept a little lower with automatic boost. But the prices are among the lowest on the market. The GTX 1650 StormX mentioned above at the time of release cost $20-30 less than its counterparts, thanks to which it remained perhaps the most affordable version of this model for a long time.
