...they didn't show the back in the original silver pic. The back is what everyone loves.
I'll keep repeating this next time someone recycles this witty observation.
In all my time here, the front of the card has always dictated the looks of the card, the back is either "it's okay" or "it's boring". I've never previously seen someone say I'm buying it because the back of the card looks great or bad, yet I've seen 1000s of posts about how the front of a card looks great or ugly.
I've also not seen anyone else on here say "hate the front, love the back". They've all said, the front looks way better painted, nothing more or less.
People hated the card, the front still looks meh, the back looks meh, I've never understood why people care what their cards look like in the first place. Even those who think a big case with windows and neat cabling, even they spend all of 0.000002% of the year looking actually into their case rather than looking at their monitor or being no where near their computer.
I decided against the Nitro not because of it's aesthetics but because from the limited pictures we have it looks to have a 'meh' cooler, the only thing that really matters on a custom card.
