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.

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.

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 never really liked the Titan reference design. Not sure why just never have.

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.

kinda silly that its so big that it takes 3 slots, but don't really matter if you only use 1 card anyway

 

Ahhhh the glory of personal opinions lol, cause i think that card looks ugly as all hell!!

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.
