Chinese hardware company Colorful is releasing a new, limited-edition RTX 3060 graphics card, and calling it cute doesn’t even begin to cover it. Aimed at gamers and esports enthusiasts with a knack for aesthetic PC builds, the Colorful iGame GeForce RTX 3060 Bilibili E-Sports OC is about to hit the market in the U.S. Despite being priced higher than most RTX 3060 GPUs, this card is likely to sell out quickly as the unique design alone is enough to capture interest.

At first glance, the card looks nothing like most of the other RTX 3060 models on the market, and we don’t just mean the pastel colors. Instead of the RTX 3060 we’ve all grown used to, this GPU closely resembles NVIDIA’s reference models for RTX 3080 and RTX 3080 graphic cards. The all-alloy shroud is covered in fittingly colorful art that matches the brand name well and is fun to look at.

The vibrant design is topped off by customizable RGB lighting around the edges. It’s also combined with a magnetic backplate, allowing builders and modders to further customize to their heart’s content. This is a graphics card that would look great in fancy PC builds while still not being an eyesore in standard desktops.

The similarities to RTX 3080 reference models are evident in the cooling system of this GPU. There are two 90mm axial fans on opposite sides of the card, although the printed circuit board (PCB) is still short. You will also find four heat pipes, 6mm in diameter each, as well as a nickel-plated copper base at the bottom of the card. Colorful slightly increased the card’s TDP (thermal design power) to 187 watts while keeping the standard 8-pin power connector.

The card comes overclocked out of the box to 1822 MHz but has a base clock of 1320 MHz, making it similar to other overclocked RTX 3060 models, such as those from Gigabyte or Asus This is combined with 12GB of GDDR6 memory and a memory clock of 15 Gbps. It measures 11.3 inches to 4.6 inches and has four display connectors: Three DisplayPort 1.4 and one HDMI 2.1.

The Colorful iGame Geforce RTX 3060 Bilibili E-Sports OC was initially released as a lottery prize for users of the Chinese video-sharing platform Bilibili. The company has now announced that it will release the card for limited sale on the U.S. market at a recommended price of $839. 

At a time when graphics cards are scarce, a special model such as this being priced high is not a surprise. This is as much a card for gamers and esports fanatics as it is an accessory to be proudly displayed inside the PC case. It will likely be picked up by those who care about the aesthetics of their build as much as they do about the performance. One thing is certain — finding another graphics card that can look this adorable while running the newest games on high settings is next to impossible right now.

The RTX 5090 is absolutely stunning — but Nvidia made one annoying change

I could make a solid argument for calling the RTX 5090 one of the best graphics cards based on looks alone. Nvidia has seriously stepped-up its design game over the past handful of generations, but the latest two-slot flagship might be the most stunning design Nvidia has created to date.

It's an almost perfect marriage of form and function, all executed to near perfection rather than strapping a chunky cooler on the PCB and calling it a day. It's only near perfect, though. For as gorgeous as the RTX 5090 Founder's Edition is, it has one annoying change that's made it a pain to integrate into my PC.

Nvidia says the RTX 5080 is ‘about’ 15% faster than the RTX 4080 without DLSS

Nvidia made some bold claims about its RTX 50-series GPUs when they were announced earlier this month, saying that the new range can outclass their previous-gen counterparts with twice the performance. Although Nvidia's new lineup might be among the best graphics cards when they launch, the vast majority of the extra performance comes on the back of the new DLSS Multi-Frame Generation feature that's exclusive to RTX 50-series GPUs.

During Nvidia's Editor's Day for Blackwell GPUs at CES 2025, GeForce desktop product manager Justin Walker said that the RTX 5080 was about 15% faster than the RTX 4080 without DLSS 4, and that the RTX 5070 would be about 20% faster than the RTX 4070 without the feature. Nvidia didn't provide hard performance numbers for any of the new GPUs it's releasing, so pay careful attention to the "about" at the start of that statement. Walker provided a general impression of the generational uplift you can expect, but it's important to wait for reviews before drawing any conclusions about the new cards.

The RTX 5060 will be Nvidia’s most important GPU, and I’m worried about it
Two graphics cards sitting on top of each other.

Nvidia just finished revealing its range of new RTX 50-series GPUs, the first of which will arrive in just a couple of weeks. They're some of the best graphics cards ever made, according to Nvidia, and for the flagship RTX 5090 that clocks in at $2,000, I believe the company. Lower down the stack, however, I'm concerned.

For the past couple of years, there's been a growing issue surrounding graphics cards with 8GB of VRAM, which is something we've seen on full display with games like Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. Despite backlash in the previous generation concerning releases like the RTX 4060 Ti, I'm worried that Nvidia will repeat the mistakes of the past when the RTX 5060 inevitably rolls around.
