Colorful iGame GeForce GTX 1080 Ti is a Graphics Card with a Display on it

[btarunr]

Colorful made its mark on the industry with some of the most over-the-top designs, such as giving enthusiast-segment cooling on upper-mid range SKUs. With the iGame GeForce GTX 1080 Ti, Colorful allowed its engineers to run amok with ideas. Just as other graphics card designers are beginning to add RGB LED lighting elements to the glowing company logos on the cooler shrouds, colorful went ahead and attached a multi-segment display directly on the graphics card, which reads out temperatures, clock speeds, and fan-speeds in real-time. Something like this came in cumbersome detachable external OC modules. The 3-slot thick graphics card features the heaviest air-cooling solution Colorful ever made, mated to a custom-design PCB with a gargantuan 18-phase VRM that draws power from a pair of 8-pin PCIe power connectors. The card is expected to come out some time in April.

That thing is gonna be expensive

 

[Basard]

Awesome!

Finally an innovative looking 1080/1080 Ti... It looks so freakin fresh!

 

[qubit]

This card looks amazing. That status display is genuinely useful, the PSU is great and the cooler looks reasonable. I might just get this if the price isn't too high.

"moar VRM phases" - I guess this sells

agreed!

1st product of 2017 that looks like something new, everything else is old and boring!

Even though I dont buy high-end enthusiast products, that huge vrm phase and display is rather nice

 

[mcraygsx]

At first I thought this was an Asus STRIX product.

Are you all out of your mind ? This cards looks Chinese vomit.

Do you find it expensive in the USA, because you do not know the prices here in Brazil hahaha, with the value of a complete PC there, you only buy a video card here.

"oh no, someone does not agree with my opinion? what madness is this!?!"

They could have skipped the Chinese scooter look , but I like the display panel, and the massive cooler and VRM should help with overclocking.

 

[IceScreamer]

A design so bad it's good. That little display tho, kudos for that.

 

[Fluffmeister]

Colorful living up to their name, me likey.

 

[Robert Bourgoin]

Who really reads their video card display? Your better just to get the Founders reference card and throw a water cooler on it. butt ugly is fine as long as your running fast and quiet. and cool.

 

[Rich Knapp]

Looks like a GD Transformer!

 

[ArdWar]

Are those 18-phase VRM all really get phase shifted form one and each other? If not then this is another gimmick catering to moarz iz better crowd again.

As an electronics engineer, I don't really see any point past 6-phase VRM anyway. Unless you really want to eliminate electrolytic capacitors (which apparently they do, looks like all solid tantalum, no Al/Al-poly).

Probably won't do anything to overclocking. Nvidia cards don't let increased voltage so all cards basically overclock the same limited to how good the silicon is.

The first GPU to play Crysis on...

without a monitor!

 

[WholesomeGuy69]

Damn that is sexy. A tiny bit too gaudy but that freaking display more than makes up for that. I'm not very familiar with Colorful though....are they one of those Euro-only companies like Palit or are their cards available to US buyers? For that matter...are Palit cards available in the US now?

Lol I'm not even aware of the scooters you're referencing but that comment made me chuckle.
