Colorful has unveiled their latest iGame GeForce GTX 960 KUDAN Mini-ITX graphics card featuring a custom PCB design and factory overclocked frequencies. The GeForce GTX 960 KUDAN is one of the several Mini-ITX designs nosotros got to see with the GM206 chip based graphics card during its launch and is the sole reason why NVIDIA'southward GeForce GTX 960 has get a popular offering in the $200 U.s. market.

Colorful'due south iGame GeForce GTX 960 KUDAN Goes Mini-ITX - Clocked at 1216 MHz

The reason backside the GeForce GTX 960's success in the $200 tier is due to its low wattage and somewhat great 1080P performance. It's not the most perfect card for gaming on college resolutions or max details when compared to the competition but the depression wattage that comes with GM206, along with features introduced on 2d generation Maxwell fries brand it quite the offering for budget gamers. The performance and features coupled with a design that's available in cards like the WindForce x3 from Gigabyte downward to Mini-ITX custom models get in a worthy addition to Mini PCs and ITX rigs. It is as well the reason we suggested the carte du jour as a buyers choice for those with a upkeep close to $200 US in our graphics guide.

The specifications for the GM206-300-A1 are quite straight frontward (halve of everything that a GM204 offers). Nosotros are looking at 1024 CUDA cores, 64 texture mapping units, 32 raster functioning units and a 2 GB GDDR5 VRAM that operates forth a 128-flake memory interface. The card comes in 4 GB flavors but the iGame solution from Colorful currently only packs 2 GB GDDR5 VRAM. The memory is clocked at the reference 7010 MHz (seven GHz effective) clock speed while the core clocks are adjusted in two blocks. The factory overclocked specs are 1127 MHz base of operations and 1178 MHz heave frequencies simply a 2d OC BIOS can be enabled through the push button of a knob that is situated at the I/O panel to boost the card up to 1152 MHz vase and 1216 MHz boost.

Put aside the specifications and take a look at the glorious card for a moment and we have an ITX design that looks and performs superior to the DirectCU Mini and Gigabyte Mini-ITX solutions. Featuring a scarlet and black color scheme, the menu has the aforementioned shroud design iteration as seen on the iGame GeForce GTX 980 KUDAN though a more than smaller 1. It has a unmarried 100mm PWM cooling fan which transfers heat to a dense aluminum fin array through which three copper heatpipes run from a copper base plate that makes contact with the GPU surface. To cool and requite a nice design at the back, we are looking at a backplate with the iGame brand name and logo. Power is provided through a single half-dozen-Pin connector and TDP is rated at 120W. The card comes with a unmarried SLI connector which points out to 2-Way SLI multi-GPU configuration. As for the I/O, nosotros become a pretty tiny exhaust vent but that'south fine since the GTX 960 remain absurd even under heavy load operations. The OC knob can exist seen along with a single DVI, HDMI and three display connectors.

The iGame GeForce GTX 960 KUDAN Mini-ITX is currently listed down at Colorful's official homepage however they oasis't provided whatever details regarding availability and pricing which shouldn't be much higher than the electric current pricing of custom models.
