Colorful has rapidly become an AIB partner associated with extreme solutions which have incredible overclocking prowess. The company’s no-nonsense approach and unusual designs tend to capture your imagination even if they’re not the most practical options. Recently, Colorful unveiled their flagship graphics card entitled the iGame GTX 1080 Kudan. This mammoth card employs a mind-bending 4 slot design and equipped with a factory installed Plexi water block. As a result, the end-user can directly attach a custom loop to the hybrid backplate which is a novel concept.
On another note, the product has three large fans which have an attractive gold cog exterior and a huge aluminum heatsink arrangement. The I/O has a dedicated OC button to cycle between different BIOS modes. Presumably, this is to change the clock speeds if you’re taking advantage of the water block. The graphics card requires two PCI-E 8-pin connectors and opts for a hefty 1936MHz boost clock. To be fair, this isn’t the fastest out there since the GALAX HOF manages to reach an impressive 1961MHz.
Apparently, the Colorful iGame GTX 1080 Kudan will launch in December or January. As per usual with the company’s offerings, I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s exclusive to the Chinese market. Sadly, there are no details about the price but it’s probably going to be one of the most expensive GTX 1080 models available today.
Honestly, this card is so impractical but I adore the absurd design which gives it a certain charm.
That is rather crazy, the heatsink and fans would be pretty much redundant if you hooked up your loop.
Nah, still needs silver heatsink and LN2 cup
