These look like they came out of Fortnite or Fall Guys. Made for 12 year olds...

I really like the no-bullshit-look of the reference cards...

Challenger is more to my liking from all those cards in terms of visuals.

Challenger series looks waaaaay too much like Gigabyte's old windforce series (circa nvidia 700 series)

I really wish Taiwan will discover the beauty of simplicity already.
These noisy, mouth-foam inducing designs look plain nasty.

Nice looking card, doesn't look boring but not overly done.

But according to reviews Asrock's 5700 series have bad temp. Hopefully they fixed it

Try professional or office products. The consumer sectors has always been trying too hard to be cool. There is definitely exceptions to this generalization but we have to look hard for it.

Gotta say, I like the look of the Taichi this time around. Other than that though, ASRock's 5000 series Phantom cards looked better, I thought.

Are these ugly bastards the first 6800xt cards we see that have 3x 8 pin power?

The phantom would look nice if it weren't for the red accents... All hardware should be color agnostic these days. That whole "red and black" thing is just a played out, cliché trope of the PC world now.

Not like we have much of a choice either way when essentially every new card coming out seems to be designed by adults who never got over light up shoes like the rest of us did.

Unfortunately, the reference cards are not that much looking, either...especially when you place them right next to Nvidia's FE RTX 3000s, IMO.

Jesus y'all, enough with the RGB bashing. Don't like it? Turn it off. Or better yet, switch it to a color that matches your build! See? Simple. But stop acting like RGB stuff is the abhorrent cancer of PC DIY culture already :rolleyes:

My stuff is so old it doesn't have it :D I wouldn't mind a little, but not on the fans because not to be that guy but those colorful fans just don't move enough air for me :)

I run 120x38s.. I wouldn't mind upgrading to 140x38s but I value what little of my sanity is left.
