Colorful launched a new line of RTX 3060Ti graphics cards on December 1st. There are a total of four cards in this series for Colorful with the iGame GeForce RTX™ 3060 Ti Vulcan OC 10G-V being its flagship. The other three consist of the iGame GeForce RTX™ 3060 Ti Advanced OC 10G-V, iGame GeForce RTX™ 3060 Ti Ultra OC 10G-V, and GeForce RTX™ 3060 Ti Ultra W OC 10G-V. They share the same 4864 CUDA cores, 1410 Mhz base clock, and 8GB of GDDR6 memory. Boasting boost clocks of up to 1815 Mhz is what will separate the Vulcan from the others, each achieving a slightly different boost. Naturally, aesthetics are another major variation. A complete list of specifications and pricing are listed below.
