The best and worst graphics card box art of all time

[robin66]

I remember a lot of this artwork on video card boxes. And I had a pair of the GTX 480 Point of View cards in my system at one point.

I really liked the design of the card and box art. I guess I have different tastes than some.

My Sapphire ATI X1800 XT stands out in my mind as the best one I had.

I gave it to my mate who was sti using it years after I had moved on.

I've actually got a 5500 card. Rescued from our office clearout, between lockdowns. Dunno if it works TBH

The Gainward boxes used to be great. Some GPU's in the 2000's had "Art" on the cooler too.

My old Geforce 2 MX400 sticks in my memory. Had a cool cheetah on the front but can't find any images of it

The Voodoo 3 box art was another one I liked back in the day.

But I can't say I'm really keen on the Voodoo 5 box art.

Reminds me of Revenge of Shinobi that, classic game from the early 90s on the Mega Drive.

Voodoo 5 series had great box art as seen above, sadly also their last.

I use to like sapphire art boxes.

Box art was usually really cringey and more often than not you got a miniaturised version of the same crap on the cooler. Glad they moved away from that for the most part.

Gamesmaster, wow that brings back some memories.

I used to get excited when I saw a 3d Blaster box or 3DFX, more about what was inside, not been impressed by a box probably since the early 2000's until my 3090 came, that was a nice box.

Just seen this on twitter. Nice to see some people keeping to the old ways, the terrible, terrible old ways.

The Nvidia 9800 Gainward I had in 2009 if I remember it had an Orc on it. Was XFX edition.

GALAX GeForce GTX 1080 Ti EXOC had to be the worse. Man that thing looked horrific.
