I hate how most cards (like my previous ones) have some horrible badly made bland CGI creature that looks like shit.

Oh and I hate when hey have stuff like "Enhance you pr0 gaming skillz and become the 41ph4 g4m3r!" on them, pisses me off to no end. One of my old cards had that on the box, hid the box away in the garage.
Who gives a crap you open the packaging, look at it once and slap the graphics card in your pc, i dont see what all the fuss is about.

I like all the MSI jet graphics cause I like planes and they aren't toothpick women with computer eyes wings and demon swords.
The official Nvidia cards are overpriced as fuck, you will never want to own one.

[B]BestBuy.[/B]
Actually for my next build, I have to buy some of the components from Best Buy, and some of them are competitively priced
like this one that I plan to buy: [url]http://www.bestbuy.com/site/PNY+-+NVIDIA+GeForce+GTX+570+1.25GB+GDDR5+PCI+Express+2.0+Graphics+Card/1746153.p?id=1218289781807&skuId=1746153[/url]
Also Antec 902 at my local store is $100, and a Cosair A70 is $25
Silver surfer anyone?

At least the card looks nice and plain
I think In terms of the actual card Asus do pretty well.

Not that bad...
Looks like it could start harvesting our cows at any moment
While I know what you mean (I've currently got XFX cards so I'm happy with it) I do miss my old Leadtek 9800GX2's art, while most fot hem are shit the giant OTT robots always looked good imo

it was a brick of a card and the art represented that :patriot:
I was excited when I got my EVGA GTX 570 yesterday, because on the box there were no pictures, just EVGA (in the EVGA font) and GTX 570.
And then I opened it up and there was a fucking EVGA poster with a skull sitting on two sniper rifles.
I love XFX packaging. It's almost like an "experience" when opening it.
