Introduction
Colorful I-Game RTX 4070 Vulcan OC-V
The Vibrant RTX 4070 Vulcan OC-V: A Feature-Rich Graphics Powerhouse
Meet the breathtaking Colorful iGame GeForce RTX 4070 Vulcan OC-V, a top-tier 4070 GPU boasting a vibrant 480 x 128-pixel LCD display. This graphics card is equipped with an immense cooling solution. We test this card among the RTX 4070 series. Furnished with 12 GB of graphical memory and a triple-fan cooling mechanism, this GPU not only surpasses the Founder's Edition by a 4% performance boost but also sustains an very silent operation. This particular graphics card is designed with a semi-passive cooling mechanism, activating its trio of fans to dissipate heat as the GPU temperature rises. To combat sagging, Colorful reinforced the card and added a support bracket. NVIDIA has unveiled the GeForce RTX 4070 graphics card, set to launch on April 13th. At a retail price of $599, the RTX 4070 is a more affordable option for gamers seeking high-end performance than its predecessor, the RTX 4070 Ti, which was initially priced at $899.The GeForce RTX 4070 boasts impressive features such as ray tracing, DLSS, and AI-powered assists, making it an attractive choice for gamers who demand optimal performance. With 5888 CUDA/Shader cores and 12GB of 21Gbps GDDR6X memory across a 192-bit wide memory interface, the RTX 4070 delivers a maximum bandwidth of 504GB/s. It also includes 46 RT cores, 184 Tensor cores, 184 TMUs, and possibly 64 ROPs, using the same AD104 silicon as the RTX 4070 Ti, with 46 out of 60 streaming multiprocessors being enabled. The RTX 4070 provides a more affordable upgrade solution for gamers who want a high-end graphics card without competing with the cheapest RTX 4070 Ti.

Vulcan Enhanced Design and Features
Colorful has submitted its latest premium graphics card, the iGame GeForce RTX 4070 Vulcan OC-V, featuring a unique and creative design. This iteration of the Vulcan series is equipped with Colorful's improved Hurricane Blade fan, which offers increased airflow and reduced noise compared to the previous generation's Storm Chaser fan design. One of the standout features of the renowned Vulcan series is the ability to customize the display, and the iGame RTX 4070 Vulcan OC-V continues this tradition. However, the graphics card also introduces a novel iGame Smart LCD. This magnetic display can be easily detached and mounted in various orientations. The iGame Smart LCD connects to your computer via a USB cable and can be replaced with the included Vulcan Lightboard when docked or placed on your desk. The iGame RTX 4070 Vulcan OC-V's cooling system spans 3.5 slots and the card with a semi-passive cooling mechanism, activating the three fans when the GPU reaches a certain temperature. To prevent sagging, the card has been significantly reinforced. The manufacturer has also increased both the power consumption limit (TGP 200~205) and the turbo frequency, resulting in a clock speed of 2625 MHz. Consequently, this high-performance card has an effective memory speed of 21 Gbps. Boasting 5888 shader cores, the ADA104 GPU propels the GeForce RTX 4070, generating exceptional rasterized visuals at 29 FP32 Shader-TFLOPS. Additionally, the card includes 184 Fourth Generation Tensor Cores for AI processing and DLSS, alongside 46 Third Generation Ada RT Cores for advanced ray-tracing technology. As part of Nvidia's RTX 40 Series, the GeForce RTX 4070 is equipped with Ada features such as Shader Execution Reordering (SER), next-generation RT core engines, and DLSS 3.This graphics card delivers impressive performance in the 2560x1440 resolution range, making it an excellent option for those who value a sleek yet sophisticated design. In comparison to the founder's edition model, this card offers a performance boost of approximately 4% at an additional cost of roughly $150.
