The Card

Wow! The Colorful RTX 4060 Ultra White looks amazing. The main color is white as the name suggests, but there's plenty of colorful highlights. For example, the cooler shroud is painted with a color-changing material that shines in various hues, depending on the viewing angle. The metal backplate has red highlights.


Colorful has placed an RGB illuminated element in the card.


Dimensions of the card are 24.0 x 12.5 cm, and it weighs 819 g.


Installation requires three slots in your system. The card's width is 45 mm.


Display connectivity includes three standard DisplayPort 1.4a ports and one HDMI 2.1a (same as Ampere).

The new 8th Gen NVENC now accelerates AV1 encoding, besides HEVC. You also get an "optical flow accelerator" unit that is able to calculate intermediate frames for videos, to smooth playback. The same hardware unit is used for frame generation in DLSS 3.


Colorful opted for a single 8-pin PCIe power connector, this configuration is good for up to 225 W.

Teardown

The thermal solution on the Colorful Ultra W uses two heatpipes. The main heatsink also provides cooling for the memory chips, the VRM circuitry is cooled by the airflow of the main cooler.


The backplate is made of metal and protects the card against damage during installation and handling.
