Built my whole build around my blue mobo, blue case, blue cooler, blue cables. blue keyboard, mouse, headset. Looks nice!
See trying to get a blue themed GPU... sigh. Why are they all red?
 
Sapphire tends to have blue cards and so does HIS - maybe new 480s couple will be blue......

Red fits my theme so I don't mind

Yes, sadly (although very good cards) I find they always look vile. Literally the worst looking cards on the market. So can't bring myself to buy one.

I mean... REALLY!!

What about buying some blue vinyl? Just place it on top of the red parts plus it's easy enough to remove when you sell it on.

Would certainly work with some cards, my worry is with the increasing use of RGB LEDS that the majority of cards now glow red like a new sun! red leds all over the shop.
 
Hoping Sapphire do another blue themed card, i also build around blue, although at the moment my computer looks like a rave inside, i have green LED on my mobo, orange on my ram and orange on my GPU and a blue LED on my case and a large blue Phantek CPU cooler it all looks a bit rubbish.

Plan is to replace the Phanteks cooler with a blue AIO (Antec 1200 prob), replace the mobo once Zen launches with hopefully a decent blue or black mobo, replace the Ram with blue LED ram and hopefully find some Radeon cards with Blue on them.

For reference i currently have a 4770k on a Gigabyte G1 Sniper Mobo (Green LED)
Phanteks Enthoo Primo case (Blue LED Strip)
Teamgroup Orange Ram 2400mhz
Sapphire Tri-X 290 Orange and black GPU
Phanteks CPU Cooler in blue.

Hoping Zen can bring a nice black and blue theme to my PC with components, failing that im going to go to a 6700k or something with some black and blue components :)
 
I have this exact problem. I have the Sapphire 290X VaporX and it's the perfect blue card.

I did read somewhere that the Nitro series would have customisable LED colours but I have yet to see it.
 
Most of the colouring will be on the cooler side, which you won't see in the case as the gpu is usually upside down, so any decent card with a blue back plate fitted would be an option.
 
Companies should start doing interchangeable shrouds. Backplate in black, grey or white. I'd rather this than custom led.
 
Just buy some led strips and stick em on the edge of the cooler it will light up the whole card blue then and then some.

Hercules cards used to be blue, dunno what happened to them makers.
 
I saw a mobo the other day with led strips you could customise colour wise. Gpu manufacturers should just lob their logo on the top of the shroud where it faces the window and have it customisable via led colours also.

Don't put the onus on them to make em loud and proud as they'll just get tackier and tackier,

What where they thinking! Red and gold shroud with a blue glowing name.

Hey come on, not only is it more powerful than a 980 you can cut chips and grate cheese with it.

They be clever these AMD engineers....Great Performance per Watt and it helps with the cheese n chips.....the ultimate student graphics card. What's not to like?

Yeah, it does look pants actually. Hmmmm not keen. :p
