Rarest Graphics cards?

[BananaNinja]

What are some rare graphics cards?

If you have any you can think of please add them (I recall ASUS having unconventional dual GPU card which were rare but I can't remember the model)

 

some I can think of:
KFA GTX460 Wireless Graphics card

Powercolor Devil 13 7990

Gigabyte GTX680 Windforce 5X SOC

[Nexxus]

that  460, lol wut

[Lolzious]

Uhhhh. VooDoo cards? Haha

 

Maybe XFX Nvidia cards

[Minzo]

that  460, lol wut

 

I don't understand the antennas. What's up with them?

 

 

The ASUS rog mars II was pretty rare right?

[samcool55]

Asus ARES and MARS cards.

[Lolzious]

I don't understand the antennas. What's up with them?

I imagine it is both a wireless PCIE adapter, and a GPU.

[Unlikelyjoker]

ARES III and that unreleased 690 MARS

 

Two cards in a box. Why don't more companys do this

It's a wireless GPU so basically they have the GPU which connects to a module that has IO (HDMI and such) which you can stick on your monitor and connect to it

the card and the module connect wirelessly so no physical cables between monitor and pc

KFA is a mad scientist of a company

Not sure if you mean "weird" or "hard to find" but on both accounts this fucking thing:

 

[Zohan2000]

Asus gtx MARS 760x2 is this a rare GPU?

-ddd-

Rare because only one idiot brought it.

[Dabombinable]

I think the quad SLI 3DFX card is rarer, that and the ones from Intel's first attempt at making a card.

That's not too rare came out last year

ASUS HD 3850 Trinity

That's right three GPU's on one card.

 

[Dabombinable]

ASUS HD 3850 Trinity

That's right three GPU's on one card.

 

Wasn't that more of a 'because we can' type of card?

As much as I hate cabling with a fucking passion there is no way in hell id buy this lol.

Indeed, although it's rare in that regard. It never hit retail but there are people who have them.

They are offset on packages around the card like so (all facing inwards towards the PCB).

Yes, this wasn't made for consumer markets, it was for the pros and with it's bedazzling price it sure is rare
