I'm going to agree to agree. I knew there was a reason I was going to buy an EVGA GTX 280 instead of one of those Gigabyte or PoV ones.

i'm not a huge fan of the big black brick look all new dual slot Nvidias have. i think their older cards were better looking. i think the 3870 X2 is one of the nicer looking reference designs i've ever seen.

As much as most people disliked it I think the 8800Ultra looked very cool design wise since it was...unique to say the least.

That's why I loved the 8800Ultra, unique cooler.

Yeah, the 8800Ultra had one of the best looking coolers. Though there is some extreme 9600GT that has the best looking cooler I've seen so far.

I don't really favour the boxy look. Does it even cool efficiently?
