The Card

Colorful's card comes with a large bulky cooler - the third fan is hidden in the middle. On the back, you'll find a metal backplate.


Installation requires three slots in your system.


Display connectivity options include a DVI port, one HDMI 2.0 port, and three DisplayPort 1.4 connectors. The little button is used for the dual-BIOS feature.

Unlike previous-generation NVIDIA cards, the DVI port no longer includes the analog signal, so you'll have to use an active adapter. NVIDIA also updated DisplayPort to be 1.2 certified and 1.3/1.4 ready, which enables support for 4K at 120 Hz and 5K at 60 Hz, or 8K at 60 Hz with two cables.

The GPU also comes with an HDMI sound device. It is HDMI 2.0b compatible, which supports HD audio and Blu-ray 3D movies. The GPU's video-encoding unit has been updated to support HEVC at 10-bit and 12-bit.


We shine the light from a self-leveling line laser onto the card, which shows no sagging.
