COLORFUL Lives Up To Their Name With New GeForce RTX 30 Series

NVIDIA just unveiled its GeForce RTX 30 series graphics card which offers the biggest generational leap we have ever seen in performance and efficiency. The Founders Edition graphics cards in the GeForce RTX 3090, GeForce RTX 3080, and GeForce RTX 3070 are insanely stunning but enthusiasts are also waiting to see what AIBs have been cooking for Ampere in the form of their own custom graphics cards designs. We’re taking a look down the lineup of the COLORFUL models that will be available in this article.

The second generation of NVIDIA’s RTX family featured in the GeForce RTX 30 Series brings a new SM structure along with other improvements such as; Second Gen RT Cores that are delivering 2x the throughput of the previous generation. Third generation tensor cores driving up to 2x performance resulting in much better use of technologies like DLSS. We’re going to see the implementation of RTX IO coming in the future as well.

COLORFUL will be introducing the all-new iGame Center to the GeForce RTX 30 Series graphics cards. The iGame Center software integrates the iGame Zone and iGame Dynamik Light into one application. The app provides a simplified and better RGB lighting control as well as an overclocking function for COLORFUL graphics cards.
