Post your most aesthetic video card.

...

First gen ACX. Simple and clean.

I always loved the batmobille design even though I only had nvidia cards all my life with exception of a voodoo.

...

...

I love this design!

*breaks temperature records*

Best cooler ever made

7990 is beautiful too

>fans mounted on pistons to literally shovel out the heat faster

Is this the current state of pc gaming?

The current state of shitposters

The limited edition Vegas look aesthetic as fuck

best design coming through

It's a brick.

*HIGH PITCHED SCREAMING INTENSIFIES*

Other notable mentions:

ATI x 1900 xtx
Nvidia 9800 gx2

295x2

...

i used to own r9 nano, jesus christ i get a boner whenever i open my case

a sexy brick.

...

...

Bought this the other day for $480, and now it's $622 on Newegg. Feels good.

Well yeah, simple minimalistic bricks are rare nowadays.
It's still a brick.

yeah people buying on black friday got cucked. Week before I was looking at Radeon Vegas and they had em in stock for $460. On BF most were out of stock and the ones left were marked up to $649.

...

at least pick the good one

*And your motherboard*

...

why are you trying so hard ? It's a beautiful brick.

The card itself looks like shit.
The PCB is absolutely gorgeous though.

i owned this shit, this cooler is the fucking worst i've ever had

This specific sapphire 4870 1GB is the best damn card I've ever owned in my whole life.

>dual dvi-i
>s-video
Where have these days gone...

Ugh, my dick

>there was a time when high-end gaming cards were passively cooled

Didn't the voodoo2 get really fucking hot?

What am I looking at?

295x2 Red Devil 13.

A graphics card that requires four (4) 8-pin power inputs.

It doesn't, vanilla 295x2 uses 2x8pin.
PC added two more 8pins for penis weewee points.

they're gone bro...

all gone....

That's the dual R9 390 version

yes, and more than one company made addon heatsinks for it. lots of gamers (especially those rich enough to have a pair of them) just bodged a fan into their case somehow to blow on them, though.

I had voodoo 2 sli and never noticed it, back when pcs generally had really shitty airflow.

Ambition.

This. Second gen also looked good but should have been darker.

It was a huge downgrade when I got my 1080 Ti because all these metal parts were replaced with shitty plastic ones.

1st gen ACX with metal components would be perfect
And of course 3 fan

>Nobody posting the patrician card

Vapor-X was better.

>X
>Not the normal 290
This was a patrician tier card. 290X cost 150 € more for 5-10 % performance.

My friend has it and it still going strong.
Yes, but not by much. The normal Tri-X runs pretty cool. Other 290s hit 100°, this one only 70° under heavy load.

my nig-oh
i thought it was a 270x toxic
;(

What is the purpose of this design?

I realli like asus strix design.

It's still a good idea to put a heatsink on it.

Used with an old Pentium system, not really.
Only in newer systems that can push it to it's limits.

They don't get as a big of a load when running in SLI.
I had 110MHz cards in SLI and also downclocked them to 90MHz, more than enough power in SLI but expands the lifespan and lowers heat output.

>use gpu as bridge to SLI dual motherboards
>die

I run this with a 2500k, still going strong.

Oh boy this thread is a cringe fest

Nvidia bought voodoo in the end, so you can just say you've used Nvidia forever

They've bought IP and not the 3dfx itself.

i-idk, user

...

easier to clean

What's the card below it?

an asus essence sound card.

>he still uses a soundcard

>he uses an internal soundcard
USB that shit.

A Xonar STX I.
Yes, comes from my old build.
>Inb4 'audiophile' high-ohm headphones
Onboard sound has gotten better since 2011.
No, the other external Xonar cost 650 € here. M headphones cost 400. Maybe next time when I get me the T1
I don't get any problems, its properly shielded
Only the cheap cards have noise issues

Someone post that Asus dual 290x and that ching chong card with 5 fans

That's third-gen ACX. Second-gen was Maxwell and more similar to the first, but cheaper and uglier. The new one is iCX and looks godawful.

Get your EVGA lore right, faggot.

Videocard explodes when you push those in.

A single slot 1080ti my dudes.

It doesn't get any better than this.

>Deliberately adding USB latency to your audio.
lmfao fell for the gamer DAC headphone meme.

The GTX690 is to this day the most aesthetically pleasing reference design from nVidia

...

*watercooling required

Yeah, nah.

Cute

I've been keeping my old PC on life support just so I can keep on using my 4870.

>slots

the sexiest card I ever had. I loved how price efficient it was. Ran all games on high from 2011 until it overheated in 2016.

>tfw AMD will never make an anniversary reference card in homage to the transparent red coolers and pcb

Bumperino.

Fuckin plebs ITT cant even to aesthetics

...

...

The Founder's Editions are kino.

>tessellating the cooler

The older design was better.

...

what does gambling have to do with your pic?

This. It looks sick but I am having 80 degrees celcius under any moderate load since day 1. I don't recommend that piece of shit either. (Other brands don't really go above 70-75)

It's a Sup Forums meme

the girl you fuck in the bathroom of a sleazy dive bar

the girl you marry

You're all wrong

m'gpu

Oh, I'm sorry homonigger, tell me about your hardware interrupt sound card please.

...

...

ayy I have the same card

Good taste

But I submit to you that the white nano is cuter~
