My graphics card looks hot and by hot I actually mean cool ....

Its design is obviously inspired by Jensen Huang's leather jacket :laugh:

with one important difference that it actually looks good

I like how it has non-conventionally arranged VRM array and good components

It's still bearable for my needs at 1080p ... and will be for another year or so with these prices

Riding out the price fluctuation with a RX 480. You don't know what your missing out on @eidairaman1 maybe @BiggieShady. I originally wanted a a 1070.

I plan to pick up well preserved 1080 at silly price once new generation rolls out

Id love to get my hand on each of those two.

They are just glorious.

Even the packaging they come in is mint.

I own the "Galactic Empire" edition. It doesn't say "Titan X" in the red LED but actually "Galactic Empire, as strange as that may be.

Still, I agree: Kickass cards. And you could actually get them at msrp during the mining days...

RealNeil · May 17, 2018

That Sapphire card is beautifully designed.

Not moving till after Navi

biffzinker · May 17, 2018

The RX 480 has surprised me with the performance it's capable of minus overclocking. Forget this < I want to see beautiful cards posted.

GoldenX · May 17, 2018

I love my current Sapphire R9 270X Toxic.

Your after that SUPER-SIMD sweetness after Navi?

Yup

RealNeil · May 17, 2018

Sapphire designs great looking GPUs. They usually are fast and reliable too.
Here's one that I have on the parts shelf. Rx-280 Toxic. The best 280 that I ever had. Still works perfectly.

And here is another parts shelf GPU from Sapphire.
It's an R9-390X 8GB Nitro model.
It works like new and has only about three months usage on it.
It looks OK, but that blue Vapor-X that eidairaman1 posted just looks fabulous!

That's awesome you've managed to source one.

I was looking at the NVidia website and there was none to be found.

Sorry to say it mate, but looks like I'm a Jedi : )

That worn look on the card is Boss. Not sure there has ever been a "Brand New" card with a worn look manufactured. Only used cards have that feeling lol

Congrats on the purchase mate. You got a sweet card!
