Quotes/Excerpts:

Quote

Have you ever wanted to customize your graphics card with your own design? Galax has launched the brand's new GeForce RTX 2060 Super 'Star,' that allows you to do just that. [It] features a translucent, plastic shroud with a pair of matching fans. It measures 283 x 139 x 42mm. Like your typical modern gaming graphics card, the GeForce RTX 2060 Super Star features customizable RGB lighting. However, the graphics card's selling point is that it allows you to personalize its shroud and backplate to your heart's liking. Tmall, a leading Chinese e-commerce, offers a couple of design options for the Super Star. Furthermore, you can send in your own design, and the Chinese retailer will print and implement it onto the graphics card for you. You won't be able to return your purchase to Tmall.  Tmall doesn't mention what type of material it's using, but we're guessing the skins are probably vinyl stickers. If Galax releases the design file, you can probably print your own skins and slap them on the graphics card. The Super Star retains the majority of Nvidia's reference GeForce RTX 2060 Super's specifications. However, it boasts a 1,695 MHz boost clock, which is 45 MHz higher. Tmall sells the GeForce RTX 2060 Super Star for 3,499 yuan, which is equivalent to $493.40.

 

My Thoughts:

LTT Video When? This is right up their alley. Either buying a custom card themselves, or making their own version of the Super Star. How much does a vinyl sticker affect thermals anyway?

Would be cool to see the return of that sort of stuff.

EDIT: Dont get me wrong, I know you can select whatever you want on it but seriously though, did they have to display that shit for their advertisement?

Most of these designs seem to come from Singapore... So I guess there's your answer to who to blame

Omg I love it, I want one!

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

Spoiler

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

These sort of designs are not exactly my cup of tea, but I love seeing GPU's that are a little more creative than red and black spikes, eyes, etc.

If it exists there is almost certainly an anime personification of it, but kinda surprised there isn't an Nvidia-chan anime girl.

I'm 99.9% sure Wikipedia is a lowkey social network, even though most people don't see it's userpages as such.

Cool idea, don't see why this wasn't done earlier.  The can definitely make a butt ton of money off of licensed plates and stuff.  

 

As for the weeb GPUs, I say let the weebs be weebs.

And the graphics card shroud normally faces down. One has to be quite mentally unsound to want to show off 2D cartoon prints in their computer case.

What's wrong with that?  Is it any different than having, say, a star wars desktop background?
