Colorful quietly intros new RTX 2060 12GB cards in China

Colorful introduces Ultra White and BattleAx Deluxe GPUs based on the latest member of the NVIDIA RTX family.

Both cards are exclusively available through the Chinese JD platform, in fact, those cards are not even listed on Colorful’s website yet.  What is interesting here is that neither the Ultra White nor BattleAx Deluxe were available for the original RTX 2060 6GB model. This means that Colorful repurposed its RTX 3060 cooling solutions for Turing architecture.

The Ultra OC White is a premium design with factory-overclocking being applied through a custom OC button located on the I/O bracket. This is where we should also mention that both cards have fewer display connectors than the ‘reference’ design (although there isn’t a Founders Edition officially). The RTX 2060 6GB had dual DisplayPort, HDMI, DVI, and USB Type-C, while Colorful RTX 2060 12GB cards rely on a single DisplayPort, HDMI, and DVI. The clock speed of the game Ultra OC is 1665 MHz, whereas BattleAx Deluxe keeps reference 1650 MHz clock.

Both cards are equipped with triple-fan cooling solutions and PCBs visibly shorter. New models require single 8-pin power connectors. Colorful RTX 2060 12GB models are based on TU106 GPU with 2176 CUDA cores. They are equipped with 12GB GDDR6 memory clocked at 14 Gbps and limited by a 192-bit bus.

As of this moment, the Ultra White model is listed at 4299 RMB  (675 USD) while BattleAx Deluxe goes for 4099 RMB/643 USD (both cards are currently sold out). The Deluxe model is 100 RMB more expensive than the original BattleAx .
