Reorganization of product line

Colorful has accumulated numerous core technologies and won user recognition after years of differentiation attempts.

Therefore, Colorful reorganized the definition of products to bring more personalized choices to users in a more systematic, targeted, and multi-dimensional way.
In 2016, the GeForce GTX 10 series graphics cards were officially released, and iGame launched the popular iGame GTX 1080 X Top AD, iGame GTX 1080 Ti Neptune W, iGame GTX 1080 Ti Vulcan X OC, and other star products, and gradually formed the series of ideas that users are familiar with today.
Colorful shifted from computer parts to completed systems and solutions, and developed the corporate vision combining hardware + content, and also entered the field of content, including games.

Pioneering "Gamer Customization"

In 2013, Colorful took the lead in the industry with its online retail resources and rank number one of online sales for the year. This ranking has been maintained to date.
In 2014, Colorful launched its first iGame motherboard product: iGame Z97 Vulcan X. This motherboard called for 100 users to hand-paint the cooling module with the design concept of "shark bionics", and then optimized to the final solution, marking "Gamer Customization" for the first time, which successfully led the trend of the high-end motherboard market.
In 2015, Colorful launched the Storage line products.

Through continuous technical accumulation and innovation, iGame has gradually established a high-end image of the brand in the minds of users.
In 2011, iGame even launched its first "collector level" graphics card, the iGame GeForce GTX 560Ti Kudan. To this day, the "Kudan" series has long been regarded as synonymous with "King of graphics card".
In 2012, Colorful held the shares of Chaintech (stock code: TW2425), became a shareholder of the largest machine e-commerce platforms of KOTIN and IPASON in China, and achieved the goal of corporate capital operation.
