Colorful Unveils GeForce GTX 650 iGame AresX Graphics Card
Colorful unveiled its second graphics card based on the GeForce GTX 650. The GTX 650 iGame AresX builds on the feature-set of the original iGame, with overclocker-friendly features such as "One Key OC," voltage measurement points, higher clock speeds, and a better cooler. The new cooler uses a twin 8 mm-thick heat pipe design with a denser aluminum fin stack. It appears to use the same 90 mm fan as the original card. Colorful GTX 650 iGame AresX ships with NVIDIA-reference clock speeds of 1058 MHz core and 5.00 GHz memory, but at the push of a switch on the back-plate, the GPU is overclocked to 1158 MHz and memory to 5.20 GHz. The new card is expected to be priced at 800 RMB (around US $149).

iGame AresX graphics card. Never seen so much swag on such a f*cking slow graphics card. It's getting worse every gen.

WHY?! iGame on a piece of cardboard with enough CUDA cores to run metro 2033 at 1 fps on 1080...
I fail to understand why any gaming enthusiast would even think about paying an extra fee to have better cooling on a card that is not well suited for even the common gamer. |

Why have the 6pin facing upwards! WHY!
You've got the extra room thanks to the shroud anyways, use it! |

However, when it's like this, why not have them on the back so that cable management can be neater? |

In this instance they wouldn't be able to put it right at the back ie: where the pcie slot is as it looks like there are some components there already, they could just switch it round 90 degrees to be facing the back I agree. Though even on a longer shroud it's not called for, my 7950 has both 6/8pin in this position and it's buggered up my cable management now as I have to run them straight from PSU to the card as going round the back of the MB tray they won't reach. My 570 I replaced had them at the back, much better placement imo. |

No they don't but in association to graphics cards they could claim it's confusing and at least demand that colorful choose another name.

Where are all these "Colorful" cards? I buy on the average 2-3 new cards per year for myself and my family but I've never seen any of their cards, neither in retail nor online...

I suppose it is also relatively cheap compared to, say 680 or even 670.
Tell me, what else does a typical poser need? Looks as it might be fast? *Check!* Labeled as a "fast OCed gamer card"? *Check!* Is sort of cheap! *Check!* Aww gee wiz! Poser's paradise

Amazing they're asking $150 for what's basicly a product release 3 years ago, like in the 5770 that's an $80 part today!
