Colorful iGame GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Vulcan X OC 11 GB Graphics Card Review – Vulcan 2.0 With Fully Functional LCD

Conclusion

The Colorful iGame GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Vulcan X OC comes in at a $200 US premium over the Founders Edition with a price tag of $1399.99 US. This puts the solution in a market tier where some products are really hard to recommend. For instance, there are many custom models of NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 2080 Ti that fall around the FE price and slightly above that. The $200 US difference, however, is a lot to start with. But if the performance, features, and design are there, it can make the product look more recommendable.

So starting with the performance, we get a factory overclock out of the box. It is highest of all the cards that I have tested here. At 1820 MHz using the Turbo mode and a base clock of 1400 MHz, this card ensures you get the best out of that Turing TU102 GPU. And if you're the guy who just likes to tweak yourself, the 16+3 Phase (350W+ rated) PCB is a beast. The overclock I achieved was just incredible and shows that you can probably go a little more than that if you have the skills. When it comes to performance versus the other custom solutions, Colorful wins.

Now the features, Colorful is packing a lot since this card is an enthusiast and premium offering. The added accessories sure go well with the package but the card itself has some amazing things which need to be talked about. The RGB Lighting in subtle and hidden beneath the shrouds so it's not entirely a circus on this card. Then there's the LCD panel. I mean sure one wouldn't see an LCD panel as a necessity on a premium graphics card or any graphics card for that matter but it has some useful tricks up its sleeves.

For example, the full-color LCD panel can display a range of GPU details and has a cool starting splash screen. The highlight though is that it can utilize the LCD to display custom text, images, and even GIFs. I mean who would have thought of that? Maybe we will see LCDs becoming the next big thing on graphics cards after RGB (/s).

The design on the card is really great with solid build quality and a huge triple fan cooler. This card makes use of less space than some of the other custom PCB variants that I have tested. Reaching 2200 MHz (max boost clocks) with overclock was a breeze and it definitely holds a space in the top custom models for the RTX 2080 Ti graphics card. The Colorful iGame RTX 2080 Ti Vulcan X OC is a beautiful card with impressive overclocking capabilities and spectacular out of the box clock speeds which are geared at the premium enthusiast gaming market. If you are in the search for one of the fastest RTX 2080 Ti graphics card, the Colorful Vulcan X OC is just that but be ready to spend grand and a half on it.
