Ok so i considered puttin this in the Graphics card section but really its not about performance, just a fun off topic question!

The question is what graphics card do you think looks the coolest? I mean the case round it, nothing to do with performance!

I love the reference design 6870, the clean black square kinda look with a nice graphic on the top!

Whats your favourite?

3770K | GTX970 | 16GB DDR3 | Corsair RM750

The over-engineering of the 690. Other than that i really like the DirectCUII cards from Asus.

Too me, the best looking card is the MSI HAWK edition GPUs. The only thing I don't like about them is the blue LEDs and blue/yellow accent mark on the GPU frame. Other than that, it's just beautiful!

I like my 660Ti. Goes great with my MSI mobo.

I just wish it had a back plate. Anyone know if a back plate will fit on it?

Wow, I didn't know the MSI 660ti didn't come with a backplate, both of my 7870 MSI Hawks came with a black back plate.

I know there is this guy over on Overclock.net that does custom backplates.

I personally really love the Lightning series (especially the new black and yellow color scheme). The 690 is a pretty gorgeous card as well...

With the extra heatsinks I think it would be more like a 7 or 8 slot card.

The XFX Radeons with the silver casing is by far and large the best looking cards anywhere on the market. "Elegant" is the operative word here:

Doesn't make them worth upgrading to for me, though. Maybe next generation. But I have a feeling next gen will be all Nvidia's show again.

In case the moderators do not ban me as requested, this is a notice that I have left and am not coming back.

Like the EVGA FTW cards, as well as MSI Power Edition cards, pretty sleek.
