Why don't cards come with a set of stickers?

Why don't we have the ability to make a card look how we want?

It's rather annoying that I'm planning a green theme and very little on the market would look good in the build. Why don't manufacturers offer us a sticker set with each card so we can swap em.

I was reading that thinking "whaaaaat?!"

I honestly thought you were talking about birthday cards.

Didn't even realize I was in the GPU section!

Haha sorry. Poorly written thread I just threw together on my phone.

Was just thinking about my planned build and it seemed a simple solution that no manufacturers seem to bother with.

It would be inexpensive to offer different colour options

Was my fault, didn''t even know I was in the graphics cards section!

I do agree with you though.

IF I was fussed about a theme. I'd take off the casing and paint it myself.

Asus 290X DCUII cooler was plain black but had a choice of gold or red stickers in the box, think the 780/Ti version was the same.

Make them in any colour as long as its black.

Basically just seems down to whatever trend is doing the rounds with motherboards with regard to what colour combinations some third party cards come with.

Yeah well it's partly down to this that I'm finding issue. I want a green sniper board to go in a green primo, but most cards are red and black and will look crap.

Wish there were more white 980Tis.

I don't have a window so don't care about colours or cable management #win

Buy EVGA, paint cooler, keep warranty = win

I wish there were more white cards in general. White PCB's are beautiful.

it could be more plausible if they offered online templates to print out, somewhat like they did with the Fury X.

I think they come with red stickers.

Couldn't you use that removable plastic wrap paint or won't the shroud take the heat?

You may customize the ASUS STRIX cooler with its included stickers, provided in gold and red.

Asus must have ran with it.

Hedge · 24 Oct 2015 at 18:19

Damn black and red seems to be the choice for everyone these days.

Mei · 24 Oct 2015 at 18:27

yeh way too easy to make a black and red theme

asus and msi seem to be going orange with their new big bad cards tho, not sure what thats going to match, maybe the spray tan of ppl that bought them
liking the silver and white builds right now...
