Which Backplate?

[Lays]

I need two reference backplates for my 780's, I can't really make up my mind, and I'm unsure if there's any other cool ones on the market. (If you know any others, post a link pls)

 

Keep in mind I have waterblocks on my card, so the smooth one won't look as weird as it does on the reference cooler.

 

My two choices two far, but can't decide:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If there's others you like more, lemme know pls

I would totally get the clean one. Too much branding on the EVGA one.

there is something like http://www.coldzero.eu/ but never used them..

 

edit. they are Portugal based and here U got some real life pics. http://www.coldzero.eu/forum/showthread.php?3793-New-14-11-2011-VGA-Cards-Custom-made-Coldzero-Backplates

I like the EVGA one myself, but that's just because I don't like that glossy finish on the other. (The holes also give it a bit more interest.)

I like EVGA's. 

 

The glossy finish on the second one is weird, and the clean backplate is... well... I like seeing the holes on the back of a GPU plate...

Hm... I have 2 screws in my waterblock that would normally be flush with the PCB, but because they're taller, i don't think that EVGA backplate will fit. I'll have to do some researching

+1 for the EVGA.  The EK one is just too plain.

Just mail EK ask them if it would fit. You might need longer screws. http://www.overclock.net/t/1240214/gtx-680-ek-waterblock-with-evga-backplate-troubles/0_100
