Best looking cards.

Nosfy

Hey guys.

 

I am sure that there have probably been a similar thread about this but...

 

Does anyone else think that the AMD cards (in general) are not as good looking as Nvidia's options?

 

This is not fan boy question, just my opinion.

I think that Nvidia has much cooler reference designs.

In my opinion, the best looking cards are:

 

Sapphire's Tri-X

ASUS' Strix and DirectCU II

MSI's Twin Frozr 4, 5 is just too ugly.

Gigabyte's Windforce and G1

XFX's Double Dissipation

NVIDIA's TITAN Reference design

 

In general, I think there are some more good looking NVIDIA cards than AMD, but both sides have some pretty offerings.

There's still some AMD cards with coloured/brown PCBs ): In general, Nvidia and their board partners are doing very well in terms of looks, especially on their reference design.

I donno, ur 980 Pallit Jetstream IMO is one of the worst looking 980's maybe better looking then the Gigabyte windforce. but still bad.

I honestly can't care much about how graphics cards or any part of a PC look like, so long as they perform well.

If I were to build one, I'd probably choose a case without a windowed side panel anyway.

Most people that spend a decent amount of cash on PC kit like to show it off. I like to see where my money has gone, not only from a performance point of view but also it must look freaking awesome.

That XFX DD cooler on the AMD cards looks nice. 

 

I like my 980 cooler. Has little windows and RGB lights. Although that's just me :)

Paint it white and it would look pretty sweet in my rig.
