Question: What is this card — 七彩虹 (Colorful) iGame GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Ultra OC 16GB GDDR7?
Answer:
It’s Colorful’s mid-range Blackwell card, GB206 die, aimed at 1440p gaming. Note: it’s actually DLSS 4 (Multi Frame Gen + transformer-model Super Res/Ray Reconstruction), not “DLSS 4.5” — that number in the listing is marketing fluff, no such official version exists.
Silicon
- GPU: GB206 (Blackwell 2.0), 4N process, 181mm², 21.9B transistors
- CUDA cores: 4608, RT cores: 36, Tensor cores: 144
- Clocks: base 2407MHz / boost 2572MHz stock, 2632MHz with one-click OC
- FP32: ~24.3 TFLOPS
Memory
- 16GB GDDR7, 128-bit bus, 28Gbps effective, 448 GB/s peak bandwidth
- This is the important differentiator vs the 8GB SKU — 128-bit bus is narrow but GDDR7 speed compensates
Power/thermals
- TDP 180W, single 8-pin power connector, suggested PSU 600W (some listings say 450W min — 600W is the conservative Colorful number)
- Triple-fan cooler, 2.5-slot, 300.5×120×50mm, 0.97kg
Outputs
- 3×DisplayPort 2.1b + 1×HDMI 2.1b
Perf context — ~75% faster than RTX 3060 at 1440p, ~26% faster than RTX 4060 Ti, but still falls short of RTX 4070, with RTX 5070 being ~27% faster. So: solid 1440p card, not a 4070 killer.
For your use case — if you’re thinking of this as a cheap local-inference box: 16GB VRAM at 448GB/s bandwidth on a 128-bit bus is workable for small quantized models (7B-13B Q4/Q5) but bandwidth-starved compared to something like a used 3090 (936GB/s, 24GB). Fine for inference testing, not great for training/fine-tuning throughput.
