Now that prices of video cards are getting to their MSRP levels, perhaps even a Noctua Edition product will be priced at levels accessible to average buyers.

I recall in 2020, ASUS made it very clear that they had every intention to raise their prices on this current-gen of GPU's architectures, way before the "so-called chip shortage" (yeah, right, you believe that BS, well, I can sell you a bridge too) mining and scalping frenzy took place.

ASUS is an extremely unbalanced company and they never need an excuse to raise prices (just take a look at their other absurd CHEAPLY MADE products with a premium price tag e.g. ROG phone, etc.), and ASUS is never a consistent QUALITY tech company.

So, one should never... ever think that ASUS has business ethics and/or consumer integrity 🔫 ambitions structure... EVER!

IMO, this would have been easy to appeal to the masses with the Chromax Black fans instead of those butt ugly brown fans. In spite of it being a Noctua "thing" that is among the worst looking GPU I have ever laid eyes on.

I guess, if nothing else, it gives those folks that cared more about function than form something to match their khaki builds. I bet Jake at State Farm has one with red LED.

I kind of like how ugly it is. Maybe because it's not trying to look good and failing like many GPUs with garish and elaborate but pointless plastic shrouds. Instead it's doing a more understated ugly like the designers have no concept of aesthetic appeal. Almost like someone's dad made it from leftover parts from a 1970's radiator convention.

I know I'm going to hear it over this, but, it's so unfortunate that Noctua is willing to sling mud on their own good name, in this way.

Noctua has a nearly impeccable track record. Their products are the best you can get for the most part, if precise engineering and quality of manufacture are your primary interests.

ASUS, not so much. And don't get me wrong, because, they USED to be among the best in quality and more importantly, customer assistance. That ship sailed though, and this is not THAT ASUS from past years.

Might as well partner with Aerocool. (Snort)
