Until the graphics cards look like...

I will not be impressed by looks alone.

She does has some thing in common silicon and plastic too by the looks of it and i bet she don't look like that in the morning.

Fans still noisy though on the Anus...... It's whisper quiet on the toxic, and the GPU is better binned ;) Cosmetics aside of course because it does look a mean muvvaa!

Should not be putting fans there bubba. :)

Hotest gotta be the 2900XT with the AC cooler on it

wow, I haven't even seen some of these, probably limited editions.

I agree with the 5870 vapor-x looks very sleek but powerful.

The GeForce 9800 GX2. It did its job of holding up against ATI mighty well, even though its competitive life was only some 4 months. NVIDIA splurged heavily on product design.

Fans still noisy though on the Anus...... It's whisper quiet on the toxic, and the GPU is better binned ;) Cosmetics aside of course because it does look a mean muvvaa!



Set the fans to auto, quiet as buggery this card, never goes over 44% fan speed which is still enough for only 60 under load : ]

( and that's for 1ghz core :D )

OOOH, the 8800 alpha dog! I loved that card. I remember when it came out, I was short on cash and by the time I saved the dough, they had transformed into 9800's! :laugh:

Yeah, i wanted an 8800GTS myself, but ended up buying a 9800GTX :)

For total nerdgasm value...

Found this while googling for my pictures: 5 7950 GX2 graphics cards. Awesome! :rockout: I've actually got an EVGA one of these.



EDIT: Mind you, there's nothing quite like seeing the same reference design repeated 5 times with a different sticker... :laugh:
