Colorful has revealed its GeForce RTX 3090 iGame KUDAN graphics card on the Chinese tech forum Bilibili and this graphics card is the most expensive RTX 3000 series graphics card currently available in the market
Colorful’s iGame KUDAN graphics card series is the company’s top-of-the-line brand and the RTX 3090 card in the series is no exception. The RTX 3090 KUDAN variant features insane designs and massive cooling solutions. More recently, Colorful has started using hybrid cooling technologies which include both air and liquid cooling.
We previously witnessed this with the RTX 2080 Ti iGame KUDAN which featured a hybrid design and came in a triple-slot form factor. . Colorful posted a full unboxing video on Bilibili and compared the card to the last-generation RTX 2080 Ti iGAME KUDAN graphics card, which was a beast of a card.
The Colorful iGame GeForce RTX 3090 KUDAN comes in a hard-shell carry case which includes the card, the radiator, several accessories, and a few additional goodies such as a tiny miniature of the card itself that could be used as decoration.
Coming to the design, Colorful has opted for a CNC machined aluminum shroud which features black and silver aesthetics in a triple-slot / triple-fan form factor. The shroud features several gears that have been previously used on the RTX 2080 Ti and GTX 1080 Ti KUDAN series too. The card also gets a side-mounted LED display which is also featured on the Vulcan-X series from Colorful but this is a more refined and better-looking version.

Colorful described their flagship card in the detail as below.
The iGame GeForce RTX 3090 KUDAN has a hybrid cooling system that has both air-cooling and water-cooling systems. The RTX 3090 KUDAN’s air cooling system features a triple-fan heatsink with six 6mm high-performance heat pipes. It uses COLORFUL’s newly developed “Storm Chaser” 90mm fans with fixed-rotating fan blades. The heatsink features the iGame Vacuum Copper Plate Technology – a signature of the Advanced Series graphics cards. The air-cooling system delivers efficient heat dissipation on its own.
The RTX 3090 KUDAN also has a liquid cooling system with a nine-stage water block and a high-performance 240mm radiator. The water block and integrated heat sink use the Breathe-Gill Technology used in the Neptune Series graphics cards. It features a much denser water lane structure and a stronger cooling performance.
Just like its predecessors, the iGame GeForce RTX 3090 KUDAN uses quick-release fittings for easy mounting and dismounting of the radiator-pump unit. The RTX 3090 KUDAN uses Swiss-made high-quality fittings designed by Stäubli which can be rotated 360° for easy installation and troubleshooting.
