yeah, but this card has no stealth technology. enjoy being detected by radars.

AMD cards look much better.
>>
>>54983114
why did the use a rendered image? Does the finishing on the real card look that cheap that they cant use photographs?/
>>
>>54983114

Agree.
>>
They throw the same ugly cooler on all their reference cards because they know all the 420noscope faggots only care about muh aesthetic
>>
>>54983114
Nano looked better.
Cooled really good too, why didn't AMD stick to a larger Nano design for their future cards?
>>
>>54982899

A gpu must stay inside a case, that must be completely closed in aluminium os similar, completely dark inside. There's no reason to have a transparent case, so there's no reason to care about the appearence of a computer part.

People that care about this are pretty dumb, repressed and they usually have really bad and popular teastes. So, to answer your question, this is the appearence of a consumer gpu juse because this is what market wants
>>
>>54983266
Because nano wasn't allowed third party coolers or designs.

If the 480 was the same, imagine how much flac AMD would get.
Remember what happened to 3dfx?
>>
>>54983301
Nano didn't really "need" 3rd party designs because it was already running cool and quiet.
>>
>>54983316
Was nano blower-type or open air?

True. I guess AMD is just sticking to the traditional blower design though to keep third party manufacturers happy.

Plus for a 150w card, the blower will be plenty. It's only shit when you're trying to cool a 290x UBER reference card.

>>54983339
Open air.
>>
>>54983339
If it was blower it wouldn't be cool nor quiet.
>>
Generally, why are blower designs so terrible? They were terrible 10 years ago, they are now, meanwhile open air designs can now cool 300W monsters and keep them under 70C with barely noticeable fans, years ago you coudln't keep fermi cool nor quiet no matter what kind of air cooling you threw at it.

tl;dr why haven't blower types advanced at all?
>>
>>54983396
>tl;dr why haven't blower types advanced at all?
because open air is easier and will always be quieter+more efficient

My stealth technology has a built-in card

thats a whole lotta nothing going on in that card.
>>

Recolor is different to using a different cooler though.
>>
Why does it matter? It's inside your case, out of view. Unless you're one of those austistic kids that thinks showing off components is "cool"
>>
>>54986829
It feels nicer paying for a product that's more aesthetically pleasing. It's why I match all my sata cables even though I can't see inside my case.

It's why I have cable management even though I upgrade rarely and can't see inside my case.

Cable management is done for airflow. Aesthetics are just a convenient side effect.

GPU's used to be an additonal CPU chip
now its got its own ram and architecture and drivers and proprietary controller software, they finally got to the point where they added a shitty case to the shitty additional computer. its like a computer within a computer now. retarded beyond belief. And only AAA titles take advantage of the new bullshit anyways, its bullshit to feed bullshit for bullshit gamers. BULLSHIT.

A big fat peice of metal with lots of fins and a FAT ASS fan is all i want on a card. I dont want a fucking box with a million teeny tiny screws just to clean the fucking thing every 6 months. Its hard enough getting inside my pc, even getting TO my pc tower is hard because its under a desk.

Ridiculous fractal design schemes like the butter box in the fridge door.

GOAT card design coming through

Nvidiots need not apply

>>54982899
Why are looks of internal components even matter.

Unless you're a pure retard then only normal cunts would understand, "This card is inside, how the fuck cares what it looks like, does the cunt do the job it is built for"

If you're buying for looks then you're a complete gay retard.
>>
>>54991061
What?
You might like to retype that.

>Try again retard
>>
>>54982899
Your dick is lacking sexual use and you're fucking worried about the look of a video card which should be in a fucking case where no one gives a shit to look at.

This is like complaining about the whiteness of a textbook's page.Something retarded to complain about.

Are you suggesting that you can't have a gf and browse g?
>>

Oh you can but that would mean you would be a normal fucking guy on /g/.

Complaining about a size of a phone, the look of a fucking graphics card, and then further complaining about the operating system you use, these people cannot have a girlfriend.
These people have a logic that is so fucking retarded that their social behavior simply lacks the ability to pick up chicks or produce off springs.

I have a gf and I like the look of the AMD card more because it's nice, plain, and basic.

Would I buy it because it looks nicer? No. I'll buy it because I don't like wasting money so I'll pass on the 1080 and 1070. Will its looks be a factor in my purchase when choosing the brand to buy? Yes. I hate to admit it but I'll always go for the card I think looks nicest.

Reference 480 looks nice as fuck and has the added benefit of being the cheapest version available.

Are GPU heatsinks/coolers just going to keep getting bigger and bigger until they're the size of galaxies and eventually swallow the universe as a supermassive black hole?

Why do you give a shit about the look of internal PC components?

No because this generation will focus on energy saving.
150W for a mid end card is good pham

Less is more.
