Can't we be greedy?

personally I wanna a high performance card, that have beautiful design, and color matching the theme of the pc... (as cheap as possible 😀)....

Things like cable routing, sleeve/flat cable cable, lightning effect, better casing, etc...

His needs to work more on their looks of gpu 😛

If intel cpu core count ( not xeon phi included) doesn't go up significantly the cpu render days are numbered.. also the purchase of cpu's....I guess it's still a software problem that still doesn't use the gpu most of the time.

Why does the color matter so much? It's a PC, you use it to do awesome things. If you pick a color over performance, you are a console peasant at heart

Some people want their PC to be a certain theme or color. I wont do white anything as I feel that's the old PC style and it reminds me of the white that went beige.

I get it though, if you spend $500+ on a GPU you want it to appeal in looks to you.

I recently did something I normally don't. I bought a $300 dollar motherboard, the Maximus VI Formula. One was the superior components but second was that I don't like the new gold theme Asus has (preferred the old blue) but am ok with red.

Plus I felt like spoiling myself for once with a high end mobo.

So I plan to replaced my HD7970 Vapor-X with a R9 290/290X from Asus to match my new red/black theme. It will look nice to me which is what matters the most.

when your ready you can send me your vapor x for freee i wouldnt mind tri fire


I agree, the amount you spend building like this its a priceless piece of art, sorry, i would rather not look at a case with random fan colors, etc. for me the pcb color no longer matters since I use a Ratx case, now i get to see the heatsink and cooler not the ugly pcb.


my blue memory bothers me now but my old case was blue, this will get changed eventually.

I would say the majority of people commenting build their own computers. When you build your computer you build it for different reasons. Whether its the top of line components or a build that matches that is the beauty of building a PC is that we are able to build things that appeal to us. Come on people colors don't matter is opinion and that's fine but there are plenty of people that care about how their case looks like inside from cable management to color matching to performance parts to a lot of things can't fault people for thinking different then you.

Too bad the price on the AMD's isn't the same as it was at launch. Was pretty tempting then. Now, I'll probably just xfire another 7970 or 280x.
