Hey that's my wife

You really think so? She hits the gym at least 3 days a week and is healthy & quite energetic especially in places were its dark. It's bad enough every single guy hits on her whenever we go out together. Even with our 3 year old with us

i would get mad, i simply hate when that happens to me! and my not even married! you had to beat up a few respectless fuggers,until today,eh?

The GTX480

I've had a closer look at the GTX480 and think yeah, this is a pretty hot looking card too. I especially like the metallic fins on the top. :cool:

Think its a great looking card, the heatsink is very nicely crafted /designed as well.

Dang! Some of these cards look to sexy to hide in a case... :toast:

mlee49 · Mar 29, 2010

Your loop must be just as sexy as those cards! I loved looking at my loop, too bad I didn't have gpu blocks or NB/Mosfet blocks cooled.

sexiest graphic card

what is the most sexiest looking card ever(not talk about performance!) from heatsink to PCB layout and quality and power control unit..but the most important is the look the best design feature!

for some reason the current graphic card are tend to be 2 slot heavy/chunk/heavy heatsink and ugly looking and it rare to find single slot or 2 slot but better looking card nowadays...

this might be the best looking card so far.....far better than these chunky gtx460...
