14 DAY TRIAL // Chinese video card manufacturer Colorful is getting ready to launch its iGame version of Nvidia’s GeForce GTX 650 series and this card will definitely not use a reference design.
The new card is officially called Colorful iGame GeForce GTX 650 and it reportedly uses a different version of Nvidia’s GK107 GPU.
All other cards we’ve seen have GK107-450, but Colorful’s GTX 650 has a GK107-455 GPU.
We don’t yet know what’s the difference, but the PCB of the card is longer than the reference version and has a 3-phase power design and a single 6-pin power connector.
The GK107 GPU doesn’t use that much power, but overclocking the card might require more current than the PCIe slot can provide.
The cooling solution is a double slot one and comes with two DVI connectors on the backside I/O bracket and one miniHDMI port.
Unlike Gigabyte’s GeForce GTX 650 OC 2GB video card that we presented here, the iGame GTX 650 has a better cooling system with single heatpipe.
