This enables the card to reach 1010MHz GPU core frequency

At the end of October, we showed you a few pictures of a mysterious Colorful graphics card based on the GTX 560 Ti design and now the Chinese company has made this solution available under the name of the iGame GTX560Ti Kudan.

The Kudan is a monstrous graphics card that occupies no less than three slots inside the system case, but its most impressive feature isn't the oversized cooling system, but its unique modular design.

Those of you that have read our previous article, probably remember that we were left wondering what were the three add-in slots installed on the PCB used for.

According to Colorful, these can be used to install an WHDI card or a so called Television card to the iGame GTX560Ti Kudan, while the back add-in slot can house the Power-Kit, an extra PCB providing six additional phases to the the card's 8-phase VRM.

When the power kit is installed, the card will offer its users a third BIOS setting which raises the GPU clock to an impressive 1010MHz, while the GDDR5 memory will work at 4500MHz.

The other two BIOS settings available can run the iGame GTX560Ti Kudan at Ncidia's stock settings for the GF114 graphics core or can have the card overclocked to 900MHz/4200MHz.

In addition to the three expansion cards provided, Colorful also ships the Kudan with an Air-Kit and a so called Color-Kit.

The first one is comprised of a series of heatsinks that attach to the back of the card's cooling system, while the latter is actually a set of acrylic paints and brushes meant to be used for painting the cooler's shroud.

Sadly, Colorful hasn't provided us with any information regarding the pricing or the release date of the iGame GTX560Ti Kudan. However, judging by the huge accessory list I doubt that the Kudan will be a budget-friendly alternative to the other GF114 based solutions out there.
