idk woof

That dog was XFX's, not nvidia

Nvidia's mascot was that shit ass fairy they used for the New Dawn tech demo.

I also remember when Palit had a frog.

reminder that tech products are built by nerds and advertised towards nerds

I remember the version they released for the GeForce 3 had an easter egg where she was naked if you renamed the executable to quake3.exe. all the more because it was a reference to how nvidia and ATI had both just been caught disabling some effects when the executable was named quake3 (or other popular games) as a way of cheating on benchmarks and reviews.

>xxx edition

Can we get this back?

that mask makes me unable to tell what kind
of creature lurks behind it op. I'm not sure you
can fairly say it is indeed a dog. until that hero
or villain reveals itself it is safe to say we are
unsure of what it really is. dong assume its
identity

I miss the time when graphics card boxes had poorly rendered 3D fantasy sluts, dinos and jets on them.

Thank fuck pc gaming is going back to being niche as well as consoles so normies can all fuck off to faggot up mobiles

>Thank fuck pc gaming is going back to being niche

Yeah, hooray! Finally the prices will increase again when PC hardware goes PRO market again like in mini computer mainframe times!

Bullshit

Blame Intel amd ram cartels and nvidia for that.
The pc market has been shrinking since 2012
It also means games will get better as micro transactions and loot box crap is getting removed from alot of pc and console games to try and save sales from plummeting
Pc hardware sales are down as well

Mine died 6 months ago. An RX 580 is still a good choice for 1080p

Why? Why would they do this?

the green/yellow/red cables look suspiciously rainbow-like.

Also shit why would you cut your fan? Now instead of shooting cool air through the heatsink it's just vomiting air on one side without cooling anything.

I don't know, really. I like to customize everything.

Some of them looked weird as fuck but I kinda miss these box arts

Because of soya boys they stopped using Ruby and stopped using Ruby booth babes

shit so ssexy girls on box cover
many jtimes i jerked off to them

They don't seem to be much smaller than consoles. They can move microtransactions to "mobile" games, why would someone play on his smartphone?

Congratulations, youre not a smoothbrain that is easily duped by chart manipulation

Even shitty hack is bestest hack

i remember when 256mb video cards were insane! i couldn't believe how much power that was, games were going to look like real life!
