Weirdest Graphics Cards?

[MoonlightSylv]

I came across an old thread that featured some rare and weird cards. So I decided to recreate it.

 

I'll start with the Gigabyte Waterforce 3x 980 SLI

 

[themctipers]

ill start with iGPU

HD 3000. not on 3000 series ivy bridge, but on sandy bridge.

HD 4000, not on 4000 series devils cannon, but on ivy bridge

HD 4600, is on 4000 series but on devils cannon and haswell (4770k and 4790k)

then intel did a fuck you and now we have HD 600 series.

That waterforce is awesome  the gainward phantom series is pretty beast as well, with slot loaded fans and an external heatsink.

Colorful's PASSIVELY COOLED GTX 680. No that's not an SLI bridge, it's a heatpipe bridge connecting the main card to an AUXILIARY HEATSINK.

I've seen that one, I kinda want to see latency tests vs a normal wired connection.

So a GTX card with the Radeon RX Reference cooler seemed a good idea to EVGA?

wut?

 

the point was that the Classified was STILL on a blower (a fucking massive one, but still) and at the time was the highest end 680 they made.
