The best and worst graphics card box art of all time

[Grim5]

Obviously the best box art is the one that has PEPE

I much preferred the artsy type designs over pictures of frogs or goblins.

That is both shocking and kind of ugly at the same time.

You had just love walking down the Graphics Card aisles back in the day when the box art was the way you'd make your choice

I had a matrox card used for duel display but was rubbish for gaming.

The G400 was a good gaming card for the time... provided you didn't ask it to run anything using OpenGL. Of course, then came the Parhelia disaster and that was the end of another player in the GPU market (gaming-wise anyway, I think Matrox are still around making more basic display adapters).

Hercules 3D Prophet were always the coolest. I loved the box art for the Hercules GeForce 3. It had that kind of Quake 3 reference.

When I was a young boy...

There were many programmers that raved about those Matrox cards in their 2D quality and driver performance back then.

Nvidia and ATi back then had abysmal 2D drivers.

I remember having an ATI Rage 128 and playing every game as a slideshow.

I mostly bought my old 8800GT on the basis that I loved the name and design on it.
