This is one seriously kick-ass-looking card, but we didn’t like it when we saw photos and videos, then we saw it in person and loved it, and now we have the hard sell of showing you photos and videos of it again. It has one of those holographic stickers on it, like when you find a shiny in a pack of Pokemon stickers (or whatever kids collect these days). So it changes from blues, through reds and purples as you move it around
It has some great-looking fans too, with all three of them clocking in at 90mm, featuring 11 fins, and a ring that joins the fins together to better direct the airflow down through the heatsink, these should move some serious air and heat!
The shroud looks fantastic though, and while it is plastic, there are so many unique patterns and panels on it that grab your attention. I normally like a more understated look for my graphics cards, but I have to admit, this one is just really unique and interesting, and I love it.
Down the sides of the card, you’ll find a large strip of ventilation where you can see the exposed heatsink fins, and this should allow air and heat to easily escape the card.
However, keeping with the loud and in-your-face design, there’s a huge GeForce RTX logo and the words ULTRA on the outward-facing side.
There’s even an embossed logo at the back that reads “ULTRA, break the routine, beyond imagination” and honestly, I’m surprised it isn’t in neon pink or something to match the rest of the design though.
The backplate looks stunning, with a cool graphic design and one of the most interesting airflow vent designs I’ve ever seen. However, I do wonder if it is restricting airflow as the openings are not that big, but I doubt cooling will be an issue regardless, given the size of this GPU core and the overall size of this cooler.
At the back of the card, there’s a single HDMI and three Display Ports, which are clearly labelled too with embossed port logos above each; I’ve never seen that done before. There’s even an easy-to-reach turbo button back here, which is pretty handy.
The card is easy enough to dissemble, with the one-piece metal backplate being fully removable.
The plastic shroud is a single piece too and can be unplugged and removed.
Each of the fans is screwed into some metal supports that act like an exoskeleton to the heatsink, ensuring the card stays nice and rigid.
The heatsink is made up of two parts, with a dense area above the PCB, and then a huge extension on the back that is fed by two large heat pipes running the length of both heatsinks.
The actual PCB is quite small, but features SKhynix 2GB GDDR6 VRAM chips, giving the card its 8GB total, but there’s certainly room on the PCB for a few more if they chose to do a large model.
