Can you actually buy the cards like this ?

[Ogs]

Seriously, they look a lot better like that than say .......... this -

or this -

I mean seriously, Goblins and CGI birds ? They look cheap-o-nasty The OcUK 8800GT for example shows the normal one as the pic. Is that what you get ?

 

[Rybo89]

no the ocuk one you get a xpertvision vision card which im guessing doesnt even have the case on itll have a after market cooler on

which is 100x better

 

[willhub]

The OcUK 8800GTX is the nVidia reference OEM GTX, I'm really pleased actually, I'd rather have this one than any retail one!

 

[jimmybates]

Yeah the reference is better, i guess all these taiwanese manufacturers have no taste.

 

[willhub]

If you dont like it just paint it black or use black paper or something black.

 

[FrostedNipple]

I agree with the OP tbh, these stupid pictures they use are ridiculous, anybody would think they were selling them to 5 year olds

What does it matter what a card looks like as its hidden inside a box anyway.

Side windows have been invented.

i like my little goblin but he's starting to peel off already

Yeah or he could use something black

Side windows have been invented.

But you'd never see the card from an angle that would let you work out what's printed on that side of it so it's a non-issue anyway.

 

[Slashiem]

Dont mind the fancy pictures on them, makes them look halfway decent, but i know ultimatly it is the performance matters, only real thing i would consider is the case, make sure that looks halfway decent.
Also that goblin looks kinda cool, never seen a full faced decaled one before.

They will be inside your PC's case what does it matter!?!?!

Actually you would if you looked under it.

Never thought of it, paint the card pink or UV paint.

True and they face downwards anyway so you can't see them. You only end up seeing the PCB at the back.

 

[Hxc]

Unless you have a case where the MB is upside down, like the Lian Li Vxxxx range.

 

[james.miller]

all you can see of my card is the "8800gtx for the win" sticker on the side of it. who cares what's on the front.

 

[Ogs]

I dont mean to sound too serious about it, because i aint, it hasnt stopped me buying them in the past and it still wont now, but ive always wondered why they use such crappy pictures and things, just seems overly tacky .

 

[setter]

my gainward version of the 8800gts has the plain black fan cover, not that its ever gonna be noticed.
