I always loved the look of the reference R9 290. Too bad that particular version of it was so hot and loud.

I would love if someone made a 3 slot blower style cooled card. Give the card some over the top insane heatsink but give it a standard shroud and blower. Make the blower bigger too so it's bearable at higher RPMs.

Blower reference cards are far superior in dumping heat out of the case.

Yep, I don't get why recent blower reference cards have that stupid dvi port up there that impede airflow, so useless.

Unfortunnately the 480 and 580 cooler designs are now ugly ballsack

EVGA's box looks so serious and boring
I appreciate the weird 3d shit they used to print on the boxes back in the day like that PNY one.
I still have pic related (the Graphics card is dead though)

"Let's have 78 mini DP outputs on one card!"

I owned one of those!

*6
They were pushing eyefinity at the time so you could have up to 6 displays joined as one massive display

The X1900 inside of a mac pro case was peak aesthetic.

Buy one of these.

I still have this, it still works, although modern intergrated GPUs from even Intel outclasses this. I basically only use it to test if PCIE slots still work.

I fucked up oblivion on that thing man...

>internal components have to look good
You're all faggots

i have one of those

Attached: msi.jpg (1000x750, 360K)

also i have a lot of gpus in general

i think they still look cool, but theres a lot less in the way of unique or interesting designs or even out of the ordinary cards as a whole

wheres the dual gpu housefire rtx 2090? what about a triple slot 4 fan monstrosity from AMD?

Pulled this fanless Radeon 4800 out of my machine today, replaced it with a much smaller and not near as pretty fanless GT 1030.
