Nice looking GPU

[R-evans]

Been looking at buying a 7850 card for £150-£180. Are there any other (cheaper) AMD GPUs with a glowing side like the Asus Matrix cards?

I know that is not the best feature of a good graphics card, but I am spending a lot of money on my new build and I want it to look as good as possible as well as perform nicely. I think the glowing matrix signs look awesome.

Cheers

For that budget I'd get a 7870, the sapphire one which is pretty much a 7950

Can't afford it with the £600 I am spending on everything else. Does the sapphire sign on the side of the 7870 glow?

afaik only the asus matrix or the nvidia 690 have something like that.

Ohh if you're wanting it to look good, you've been looking in the wrong place. Take a look at this bargain!

7870 google is your friend, don't know about the glowing bit.

Doubt that such pretty light effects are available in your price range.

You could replace with Crucial Tracer ram for that look. Got some myself and it performs well + looks good through the case windows.

Not the same I know but as an alternative?

Not many cards have the lighting, I'd go with a better card and light it yourself

It's not a massive issue, just think it looked cool. Sure I can make it look just as good with LEDs for a lot cheaper.

I think the Asus cards look the best as they have a back plate on some ! The MSI are nice too...

The Gigabyte's are ugly, plastic cover & the blue PCB sux. I know as I have one
