Zephyr GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Card Has a Pink PCB

Shitty GPU, but I dig the unique color. Reminds me of old times when we had purple, blue and red PCB. MSI used mostly red PCB for example.

What? 3060 Ti is a great GPU, the colour is an abomination though.

I don’t know you guys..

I think it would look pretty sweet in some rigs

You mean pigs

We even had barf brown (or less-flatteringly, sh1t-brown) PCBs as alternatives to green PCBs (which in and of itself came in 3 different colors; dark green, green, and light-green), and when the color faded on the brown, turned into snot-colored yellow/brown.

There was also that one bright orange PCB from one mobo maker a long time ago, back when it was being advertised as a "gamer" mobo, IIRC.

Yeah asus, soyo yellow/brown

How Dare they!. No Hello Kitty anywhere on the video card!!! Ha! I am insulted!

Legit great GPU, and if MSRP was ever a thing last gen, alongside the 3080 would have been the pick of the (green) litter. Showing those muscles now that the abysmal 4060Ti launched.... how they went from a top pick of a generation, to the worst (so far!) of a generation, in just 2 generations is the most insane part.

Looks great! I feel like PCB colours is an interesting topic.

I am fine with green on high-end cards as well if it is going to save me a few cents per centimeter. I don't care about the solder mask. Might as well make it purple.

As far as I get it, green was default for making it easier to QA. Now that most quality control is automatic it is a bit less important, but black and especially white are the worst colours for quality control.

White reflects light even if you angle the board, making the traces and defects difficult to spot. Red is used in professional environment like aviation, etc...

Really concerned about the infiltration of progressive aligned aesthetics into the PC hardware realm. The PCB is probably the least likely component to be seen from the outside regularly. We need to return to the age of pragmatic, functional designs. I blame the mass marketing of PC Building during the COVID era.

It's just a pink and white midrange graphics card, the type of which you'd install in your daughter's or maybe girlfriend's PC. I don't see what's political about this. The pink PCB looks good and would be visible on the type of build a GPU like this would be installed on.

On a side note, I'd use this

Exactly. During the mining craziness you could get FE cards for their RRP from Scan in the UK. Had to use a discord stock bot and be quick as hell to get one. That's how I got my 3080.

Really smart, the pink pcb is used to color the sakura flower on the backplate, love it. Not for me but it can be cool on a modified case to match the color.

I like this. What I don't like is that the big AIB's have their "white edition" cards yet the PCB is still black.

Pink, but not Black Pink...
