I hope we'll never see something like the firmi ever again. I had a 470 and the noise was unbearable to the point of me getting an aftermarket cooler for it.

Nvidia side the 260 was a great looking card.

I had a 216 core edition similar to pic related but it didn't had the Nvidia logo, it was all mate black and sexy as fuck.

Why does this fire pro have video outputs but this firepro >>62371809 not? Does AMD use the firepro line as both their professional graphics AND compute card series?

>>62371844
Pretty much, S series are server cards
So you would see them in more of a render box situation, while the slightly lower tier cards like the W9100 would be in a desktop.
Though the S9170 is a weird middle ground, designed for racks, but also has video outputs

am I just the only guy who wasn't fazed by the looks of graphics cards after they started getting heatsinks and fans?

you guys realize the only important part is the graphics chip, right? sure you need some PCB to connect it to the slot, and some cooling solution. the rest is just glitter. especially the heatsink design, the plastic casing shape, the fans, the colors, the printed logos...

in fact, most normal people aren't even going to see that shit because only superficial fools buy transparent cases with fluorescent bulbs like a store display window in some sleazy red light districts. I mean when you game, do you stare at your monitor or your case?!?!?!?!?

Exactly. You don't buy paintings to look at them all the fucking time. You buy them to occasionally look at them and appreciate them.

I don't understand why people can't accept that for some it's the same kind of satisfaction when they look at their PC guts.

I like the new Radeon reference coolers. Too bad they're not particularly good at cooling.

>>62364574
It really is ironic. Back in the day when decent single-slots cards still were a thing I went for dual-slot because it was massive and screamed performance.
Now I want a single slot card again.

>>62380961
I can only assume that it would be double the cost of a single GPU and a little bit more as each PCB would need to have it's own RAM/power delivery. I guess they realised if the customer wanted two GPU's they will buy two GPU's. I also guess the TDP of two cards sandwiched together like that requires beefier cooling than a single blower fan.

You realize how stupid that sounds? Fuck off with your kiddie shit.

>>62381077
The only problem I have with these cards is how tall they are - I wish they used smaller fans albeit they would have been louder.

>>62381091
Not stupider than assuming that aesthetic design and performance are mutually exclusive.

The XFX 290 and 290X were the slickest cards I've ever seen. I wish they or somebody else still made them like this, instead they opted for a batmobile design for 14 year olds with the newer ones. How many 14 year olds can afford a top of the line GPU anyway?

>>62381301
Nitro+ VRM is beefy enough to handle the increased power and the GPU core is stable at 1450MHz with just barely higher Vcore than stock (1154 vs 1180).
I should be safe.

And your reading comprehension fucking sucks. Everyone is always fucking posting that kid as an example of a rich kid when he fucking isn't.

He has the cheapest brands of everything and having a case designed for watercooling with an aircooled PC in it is just beyond cringeworthy.

There's no other choice really. If you wanted to do single slot open air style cooler you'd have to use thinner radiator and extremely low profile fan. In this case blower style is just more efficient

I always loved the goofy design of this card.

Fun story with it: Friend had this exact model of card. He eventually upgraded his video card and gave me this one. Upon looking at the card more in depth, I noticed that there was a silkscreened "PROTOTYPE" near the model number, and the BIOS on it wasn't anything that I could find anywhere online. It also didn't run stuff exactly like it should, like the card instruction set was incomplete. Most tools like GPUID never correctly identified it, if at all.

I'm wondering if it was indeed a prototype card. My friend said he bought it from some shady guy via some shady deal. Makes me think he was onto something.

I actually owned this card when it was new, the beast 9800 GX2. For a month or two it was the most powerfull graphics card on the market.

And it didn't play crysis maxed out.

It died on me 2 years later and it got warranty replaced for a GTX275 which was probably twice as fast.

yeah, Crysis was a killer. I remember reading an article somewhere about what it takes to fun Crysis maxed at 1080p and 8xMSAA. It turned out you need 4 (four) HD5870 on liquid nitrogen.
Just as a recap, Crysis came out in 2007, HD5870 came out in 2009 and was an absolute beast at that time.
