ATI card with black PCB

[QueBert]

building a new box, going to have a black/green color theme. Found the MB (DFI Lanparty) sound card (Razer Tarantula) but I'm kind of stuck on the video card.

XFX makes BLACK PCB cards, but they're all Nvidia. The MB is an Intel chipset so only Crossfire will work. I sure can't track down a radeon with a black PCB, but maybe someone on here has seen one. I'd like to run Crossfire but any non black card would really throw my color scheme off balance.

Ideas? I know XFX has a new Nvidia MB with black/green layout but I've heard less than stellar things about Nvidia's new chipset.

I have never seen a ATI card with a black PCB. Doesn't mean they done exsist but I doubt they do.

Don't know of any newer cards from ATI with black.

My old 9600XT had a black PCB.

9600xt? lol I don't need the latest card, but that's a hair too old I don't think I'll find one, couldn't find a white PCB ATI card either, that's why I switched up my color scheme to black DOH! I'll keep looking - at least for today. Don't find it by tomorrow I move on and either get the Nvidia MB and run SLI'ed 8800's or just stick with 1 8880 in the DFI board.

thanks for the replies.

Hey, if you find one I'm in the same boat !! I gave up on my search for silver, so its black for me as well. I actually have a black Nv card, but its almost too big to fit in the case I'm using, so I'll measure it one of these days and hope for the best.

Here we go again . So I guess I didn't take into account that you'd want to run multi-GPU on your little experiment. I think you're going to be in a bind if you plan on using ATI cards, because almost all of them are red; the rest are blue (the modern ones, that is).

Maybe switch to Nvidia, and use XFX 780i (MB-N780-ISH9) / EVGA 780i (132-CK-NF78-A1), instead of the DFI Lan Party?

if I find one I'll post it here, but I don't see that happening, even black Nvidia cards are hard enough to find. Maybe I'll email XFX and ask them nicely to create a black ATI card so my box can be crossfire + black

Well, if you're hellbent on ATI, then I think the closest you're going to get is the MSI Diamond RX2600XT .

I can't tell conclusively what color the PCB is on the Powercolor HD 3870. It's either red or black. I haven't seen it for sale anywhere, anyway.
