The only good "looking" ATI card was the MAXX!

http://graphics.tomshardware.com/graphic/19991230/

Not too coincidentally this was my favorite ATI effort to date, although my Asus X800XT PE with Silencer was a close second.

Somebody buy that thing off Keysplayr2003, I'll wager it's a better card by far than 95% of you have owned.

Nvidia's cooling solution always looked more stylish
but the weight... hmm, and heat generated

ATi's XT models have quite a good design on it.
XL is plain looking

Yup, the card's physical appearance has always been at the top my list when choosing which one to buy. I mean, with a side window installed, you can still see the profile of the card and it's cooler, you can almost imagine what the rest of it looks like based on that!1. And that adds several thousand points to all my benchmark scores.

And you guys won't believe this, the endboss in D3 forfeited when he realized which video card I was about to beat his ass with, he said it looked way too badass for him and he couldn't take the competition. ROXOR!!!

LOL- yeah I've always wanted to see Barney the Dinosaur on my video card. Why the heck can't nV get him under contract so I can have two Barneys peering out at me through the case window?!?!?

ATI should put those little greeting card sound chips on those so they could let out a realistic dino roar every now and again- just so you know it's really chewing through the pixels! ;)

Rollo has a point, the mermaid is far more terrifying than the minotaur. ATI loses again. ;)

I prefer Ariel so I buy nVidia. The Little Mermaid was always MUCH better than Barney. 2 is just for the win.

All I can say Megatomic, is the nude Nalu demo mod does more for me than the nude minotaur mod. I've got some old movies with Ron Jeremy in them if I want to see that sort of thing.

Again, nude Dusk and Dawn mods did more for me that that Ape. (or Ruby for that matter) ;)

And I thought we were talking about characters silkscreened onto the GPU coolers... In that case, NV does win with Dusk.
