iGAME GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Vulcan OC-V Overview
iGAME GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Vulcan OC-V presentation
TdfROur sample of the iGAME GeForce RTX 3080Ti Vulcan OC-V did not come in a retail box so we're not able to share what that looks like, but the card will be the same along with the included cables and GPU support bracket.
The iGAME GeForce RTX 3080Ti Vulcan OC-V is an absolute unit of a card requiring 3 full slots for installation and plenty of room between the motherboard and the side panel as the card is much much wider than a standard reference model. The front of the card features the 3 fan arrangement with a stationary hub that makes for a really cool effect when the fans are engaged, it leaves the hub just like you leave it set (and the hub is adjustable so you can have the logos facing any direction). The rear of the card features a very nice two-tone finish with clear branding and an RGB iGAME logo towards the rear of the card.
The side profile of the card shows its mass off really well. Triple slot cooler with a nice clean aesthetic, basically consisting of another GeForce RTX logo along with the full-color LCD screen on the side. You can see the inverted triple 8-pin connectors along the rear as well.
A big draw by many to this particular graphics card is certainly the LCD screen, and with many people mounting their graphics cards vertically COLORFUL has taken that into consideration and put the screen on a tilting mechanism allowing for up to 90 degrees of adjustment.
The I/O of the GPU even features COLORFUL's signature OC button which is really neat as one profile allows the card to run at the default reference speeds and the other allows for the graphics card's overclocked settings (which is what we used for this review).
Along with the graphics card, in the box, you'll find the necessary cables to connect the GPU to an open USB 2.0 header in order to control the screen with the iGAME Game Center Software. You'll also find a GPU support bracket and screwdriver to hold up this massive graphics card to keep it from sagging, no one wants to spend this kind of money and see their GPU look like it's about to snap their PCIe bracket off inside their build.
The graphics card LCD is actually a bit more useful than I expected it to be, by default it just shows the Vulcan logo in a smoothly animated fashion but when you install the software and the included cable you're able to display graphics card diagnostics from the clock speeds to temperatures but you will need the software to do that.
I'm not a big 3rd party software person but this implementation has much more care put in than the iGAME RTX 3080 Advanced OC got and that is great as you'll need to use this on your system to get the most of this extremely expensive graphics card. You can change the image as well as what information is displayed and how often. I was unfortunately not able to play DOOM on the display which was a bit of a bummer.
