Its is a objective statement, and it is 100% based on what is around it.

 

Take those R9-290's in that picture and put a nice red glow around them, sleeve the cables, and put it in a nice case, with a decent AIO, and OMG SEXY AS FUCK.

Please spend as much time writing your question, as you want me to spend responding to it.  Take some time, and explain your issue, please!

I think reference cards in general are pretty ugly. From both Nvidia and AMD. I think the nvidia reference cooler would be SUPER nice if it had different colors though. The silver black and green scheme is just bleh to me. 

Wishing leads to ambition and ambition leads to motivation and motivation leads to me building an illegal rocket ship in my backyard.

But I love the DD and lightning and reference look...

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

AMD is for poor people, that's why.

Or people that just want good price to performance.

If we are talking about reference cards , you are wrong my friend ... Have you seen the ASUS SLI ready GTX 970 and 960 ? It's god ugly 

 

Also AMD cards reference cards are sexy , just look at the FuryX ...

 

Also , you have taste and that taste is different for everybody , it's called preference ... You mgiht like the Black/Gray scheme that reference nVIDIA card has but you don't like the Re/Black shceme of AMD's 

... Life is a game and the checkpoints are your birthday , you will face challenges where you may not get rewarded afterwords but those are the challenges that help you improve yourself . Always live for tomorrow because you may never know when your game will be over ... I'm totally not going insane in anyway , shape or form ... I just have broken English and an open mind ...

IMO the design itself isn't terrible its just they somehow manage to make the finish look like a children's plastic fisher-price toy, richer colours would be a good start IMO.

If we are not talking about reference card , your argument is invalid ... What the card looks like depends on the company ... 

... Life is a game and the checkpoints are your birthday , you will face challenges where you may not get rewarded afterwords but those are the challenges that help you improve yourself . Always live for tomorrow because you may never know when your game will be over ... I'm totally not going insane in anyway , shape or form ... I just have broken English and an open mind ...

Well no, I never said they were.. 

 

They're both pretty ugly to me though. Although one is worse than the other. Probably due to the cost but I agree, amd has some ugly reference coolers.
