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.

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.

There were some shocking box art images back in the day and for me this in one of them



Loved that card tho

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

The BFG cards had some crazy designs on them back in the day. I couldn't really find any box art online, however.

I remember the BFG box art back in the 8800 days, I had this card and it came with a Tshirt that had the same design on it. Fairly sure I still have it somewhere.

That is the card that I owned and remember from years ago.

It came with a t-shirt, with the same design on it. Which I kind of liked at the time.

Imagine walking around with blue alien man on a T Shrit.

I envy not having one.

I might still have it somewhere.

I'll send it to you if I find it.

If anyone is interested in the history of older cards. This is a great channel I find.

It really does bring back a lot of good memories.

It's quite simply really, the photo on the box is what you'll have to do to afford that GPU - enter an illegal cage fighting competition, deal drugs on the corner or beat up shopkeepers for protection money

So that would make this the NEDs or CHAV edition.

Phil's Computer Lab is also very good. He's taken a look at just about every old card you could think of.

Thank you, I'll sub to his channel.

It is really fun to see the old games and demo's that they run also.
