ur Favourite Graphic card. In terms of design.

[penguin1]

Let us ignore the specification or age. Or whether it's from ATI or nVidia, which card do u like most in terms of looks/design?

I like simple things and somehow i hate those cards with colorful printings on it like the 1800XT. Thus, my fav card goes to XFX's 7800GT:

It has a 'transparent' like hologram surface, with proper lightning & a windowed side, unimaginable.

i like the look of the 6800 ultra, the one with the big a$$ heatsink on it

but i like the way mine looks

-6800 gs

I personally love my Geforce 6800GS. Sure, there are definately better cards out there, but this one overclocks like a beast, and looks good while doing it.

I've always been a fan of simple looking cards.

i actually like the XFX 7900GTX, easily overclockable, and i have 2 in SLi mode

yup that looks cool.

btw, notice XFX always makes the best looking cards.

[enforcerfx]

Ya it does. the 6800GS looks kool too. is it the glow-in-the-dark GS edition?

sadly , no lol

i have the same 6800gs with the "E" on it , now the heatsink is laying around somewhere

 

[uber_g]

srry for this but look !!!

 

[nukemaster]

or mine?

not fast but looks cool

 

[Mogwai]

lol yours has a pretty mad-max'ish looking heatsink, pretty badass lol

i definitely gotta go with the first one tho sry!

 

[penguin1]

the 1st one looks pretty cool but it also looks like it will produce a lot of noise!

i have the first cooler, the zalman VF-900, i have it on high, still cant hear it.

Well, for minimalistic design, I'd recon the 9800 and X800 coolers were quite cool - flat, heavy etc. The coolers first introduced in the X850 were also quite nice (looking). But hands down, the 7900GTX just looks awesome, with that central fan leading heat pipes out to the fin area. Wish ATI could make such coolers, it's efficient at doing two things: looking mean and cooling.... :lol:

 

[xientist]

ooh.. i kind of fond with my X850XT PE.. The only complain is that it's loud but other than that it cools the gfx well and helps expel air around the expansion slot area. I only changed to the FS-V7 for noise and overclocking sake...

 

[uber_g]

Nooo ! i see dust !


:[

 

[xientist]

loL! That's why i took it out to replace the HSF...

Woah... That card looks as if it would trample any other graphics card on it's way.. hahaha! What card is that anyway?

huh? The fans on the 9800series are pretty damn small and not heavy at all.

@xientist, not only is it collecting dust but the transparent plastic will turn yellow over time. Better clean it frequently.

I can't remember my first graphics card back in 1997 but it was just a simple design with the card and a aluminum heatsink. It was the coolest card I think for it was able to play old 3d games but yet it was generating small amount of heat and no noise. I hope to see those kinds of cards in the future with cards 3 times faster than 7900GTX and yet produces less heat that it would only need a heatsink just like the old days.

I believe thats the old skool matrox parhelia

Let us ignore the specification or age. .

I like all of the ATI cards that have hot chicks weilding weapons on them.

Evans & Sutherland simFusion 6xxx series (that's a 6500 IIRC).

There's also now a simFusion 7000 card based on 16 of the X8 series (if I read the specs right) (4 VPUs per card put as a 4 card solution);

However, it's not a very 'practical card', heck you need special monitor daughter card, C'mon at least the simFusion6000 series has dual DVI. :twisted:

The chip is Matrox Parhelia, the card is Evans&Sutherland/ATi simFusion6500.
