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?

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...

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.
