The cooling system determines the price
Colorful has unveiled probably one of the most expensive GeForce RTX 3090 graphics card models if we’re talking about official prices.
More than $ 2,200 for a GeForce RTX 3090 and this is not a dealership price. Presented by Colorful GeForce RTX 3090 iGame Neptune OC
The GeForce RTX 3090 iGame Neptune OC model in China by the manufacturer itself is estimated at about $ 2,237, and it’s scary to imagine how much they will actually ask for it against the backdrop of a shortage.
To begin with, it is worth noting that in the official Chinese Nvidia store, the RTX 3090 Founders Edition adapter is priced at $ 1,837, that is, the Colorful card is more expensive by more than 20%.
In general, this can be called a justified overpayment, since the novelty is equipped with a liquid cooling system, and such cards are always significantly more expensive. In this case, the system consists of a video card with a water block, a 240mm radiator, and a pair of 120mm fans. Colorful promises that such CO will reduce the temperature relative to the reference temperature by 10 degrees.
From the rest, we can note the 26-phase power supply subsystem, rather large dimensions, and the GPU frequency increased to 1755 MHz. Of course, both the card and the CO fans have backlighting.
