Absolutely beautiful!

Dunno why, but that card and some other cards just got stuck in my head! Probably got to get the other card`s at some point to

Just look at that plain old copper heatsink!

It's too bad that blower style coolers tend to be loud. The concept of blowing the hot air out the back of the chassis makes a lot of sense if you want to keep the rest of your machine cool.

Can comfirm! The blower on this card is silly loud

Not so bad on modern cards I would say! But funny design! Fan hub mounted to the clear shroud part of the cooler, and the fan just hanging there up side down

Thing is back in that time the looks came from the heatsink, the raw beauty of it, and the graphics. Now it's mostly from RGB's and backplates. Kinda like seeing some of it's raw power like it was aid, the heatsinks, components underneath. Different type of "nice" but indeed beautiful.

Just snagged this Quadro FX1300 and can't believe the condition, either new old stock, very lightly used or very well refurbished.

Shot for a different thread. The memory is nothing special, but at least thematically it matches the AMD motherboard.

Year 2012. The planned obsolescence was not a thing back then..
