The New, (now) official, Show off Your Video Card Thread

I also came from a ti4200 128MB... My new stup is proving interesting as well... I can't believe how much faster my racing sims feel now they're smooth :)

Here are my BFG 6600 GT's in SLI:

Didn't bother to take any pictures out of the box before i put them in; was far too excited :D so they'll have to do..

Is that a 2-prong clip on the R1597 or a full grabber? I didn't think it was likely to make any contact. Very nice.

I'd post pics but Photoshop is on an unhooked drive.
 
Why do we feel the need to "show off" looks... looks have nothing to do with function... Kind of a waste of time, no?

Edited for careless typing that made no sense =P.

what has nothing to do with function?
 
Showing off the looks of a video card has nothing to do with how well the card functions.

I mean I could "pimp out" a gf2mx200 but it wouldn't work any better lol.

noise reduction and lower temperatures (may result in better OC) are "no effect" ... huh ?

lol
 
Well I enjoy looking at the multitude of cards and the rigs they go into. Its like going to an auto show. :p

Do the memory modules feel hot or warm? Video ram doesn't get hot at all (unless extremely over-volted)
 
On my ATI 9800 Pro it gets hot enough to burn your finger if you hold it on the ram while playing a game. I have no idea how hot 6800 Ultra DDR-3's get, as they are impossible to touch with the stock HS on there.
 
G-DDR 3 doesnt run as hot as DDR ... just when i said that ..since it comes with ramsinks on it .. advisable to put something on .
 
just to see some more of the old......

my fx5600 ultra in action, with a new slot blower fan :)

Actually, you are lucky b/cause powercolor use 1.6ns samsung memory. Thats why it has power connector to psu. I think BBA x800xl use 2.0ns mem. and it doesnt have to connect to psu....
BBA ......
