Colorful RTX 4060 iGame Ultra Graphics Card Review

How Much Does it Cost?
The Colorful RTX 4060 iGame Ultra Graphics Card is available from today, and you can check for up-to-date stock and price on Amazon here. However, Colorful stock can often be a little on the lighter side here in the UK, so you may have to shop around a little for this one.
Overview
This is certainly one of the most striking-looking RTX 4060 cards hitting the market today. I must admit I was looking forward to the Zotac Spider-Man one but was sorely let down by the fact it was just a black GPU in a fancy-looking box. That’s not the case with the Colorful RTX 4060 iGame Ultra Graphics Card, as this one comes in a nice box, and has a truly very shiny graphics card within. It’s got that shimmer and colour change to it as you look from different angles and just makes me smile like a 10-year-old me finding a shiny in my pack of Pokemon stickers.
The Colorful RTX 4060 iGame Ultra isn’t just a fantastic bit of shiny sticker though, as the whole graphics card looks like it has been designed to grab your attention. The backplate looks stunning, with its bright pink decal over a white backplate, the word ultra looks like it’s bursting off the side of the card, and the shroud has a mixture of materials and a chrome strip that manages to look both sleek and visually loud at the same time.
If that’s not enough, there’s a huge heatsink, with a triple fan configuration, with those large fans coming with an 11-blade design and axial trim that further pushes air down into the card rather than out to the side. Everything is tuned to just be a little bit better, and it ran significantly cooler than the INNO3D card and was most definitely quieter than all the other 4060s too; no doubt why they called this one the “ultra” then!
When it comes to performance, it’s still the same humble RT 4060 architecture underneath, and while the big cooler and the factory overclock do give it a nice performance bump, it’s fairly small. For the most part, rival cards have their own custom coolers and OC profiles too, so they’re all very competitive on performance. What gives Colorful an edge is that it runs cool and quiet and it also just looks fantastic.
Should I Buy One?
If you’re looking to upgrade your old GTX-series cards, this is the most affordable RTX 4000 series card to date, but even then, it’s got a cooler design that can make it stand out next to models that cost significantly more money.
