Video cards of the American brand PNY are well known to enthusiasts and professionals, because it is one of the few manufacturers of video accelerators that has been successfully producing highly specialized Tesla and Quadro video cards for a long time. But they also produce gaming video cards under the XLR8 Gaming flags. Moreover, virtually all cards for gamers are sent to this series, regardless of price, capacity, class or religion, thanks to which, in the most successful months of the year, the XLR8 Gaming range impresses with diversity like no other.


For example, the GeForce 3060 model with the PNY XLR8 design was immediately called the world's most powerful compact graphics card (only 15 cm long) with the world's longest name ― PNY GeForce RTX 3060 12GB XLR8 Gaming REVEL EPIC-X RGB Single Fan Edition. This is not an ordinary variation of the RTX 3060 model, in which the classic two-section cooler was replaced with a shortened single turntable. Similar shortened variations of this accelerator were then released by Palit, MSI and Asus. According to the profile, this is a model, rather, of the initial-average level with a modest acceleration, a trivial design, a simple logo illumination and a democratic price tag. Such cards are created for owners of small-sized buildings.

At the same time, XLR8 Gaming Revel models are candidates for entry into the elite club of video cards. These are flagship GeForce 3080/3090 video cards with integrated RGB backlight, extremely serious cooling, factory overclocking, additional power and other attributes of A-class models. Well, somewhere in between are the XLR8 Gaming Overclocked models, which originally belonged to the middle class, but in the realities of 2021 they went down to the lower league. Usually, these are younger NVIDIA models with a single or double turntable on the Turing ― GTX 1650/1660 core and their modifications with Ti and SUPER prefixes. Against the background of competitors, these models stand out due to the extreme factory acceleration and minimalistic design, which is loved by old-time gamers.
