Show off your video card!

[Rob Williams]

I see a couple other forums have this going on in their forums, and seems to do well. So if you are proud of your video card, feel free to post a picture of it!

Just a pic from the link I got. Mine will be set on a dangerden GPU block by the end of the week.

[GapDragon]

Augh! How do I include a picture??

[Rob Williams]

Upload it to a image site like Photobucket, and link to the picture with (img)http://website.com/image.jpg(/img).. replacing the ('s with [ and ].

Nice and dirty! Those PCB's are so hard to get dust off of :|

Here's my 9800 Pro:

Hooray for the gamer on a budget!!!

[Greg King]

Imagine if you will a BFG 6800GT OC with a crappy NV5 Silencer on it and there you have my video card. Got a Zalman VF700 on the way, even if it doesnt cool any better than the NV5, which it cant do much worse, it will still be better than the stock heatsink and it will match my Zalman 7000Cu :)

[Rob Williams]

Happen to have temp problems with your 6800GT OC?

I hate mine.

[Greg King]

What drivers are you using? I was loving my beanchmark scores with the 75.90's but the drivers caused faulty temp readings. I am not sporting the 71.89 forcewares and they are much more realistic. The 6800's no matter the version all run hot. They are the Intel's of the GFX realm. What temps are we talking about?

When my VF700 comes in, you can have be NV5 if you would like it.

Are you going to email me back?

[Rob Williams]

Hehe, sorry. E-mails gotten backed up.. works been screwing up my free time. Going to it now.

[Greg King]

I know how it goes man. Just kidding around with you.

Of course, that's before water cooling.

[Blumen]

Purdy.... i love black on computer parts.

I also like how NVIDIA managed to make that a single slot card. Mine used to be a single slot card.... then i messed with it.

[Rob Williams]

Yeah, I love single slot cards. I've never had a double slot one, and I hope to never have a double slot one.

[Blumen]

Oops, i forgot a couple. In addition to the one that i posted up there, in my backup rig, i have this:

The first one i posted is an Asus v9999 Gamer's Edition, btw.:cool:

[SillySider03]

Man, i just deleted a bunch of pics off of Image Shack. I have some nice shots of my 5900XT I need to dig up and get on here. AFAIK, it still holds the #1 spot in 3DMark05 using FM approved drivers with a score of 1515. (http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm05=805745)

Here's my current card sans the waterblock

and my old card with it's block

ASUS FX 5900U

Boy that card was a great card, it was an overclocking darling.

[Rob Williams]

Nice looking cards man. The green PCB looks just like my 7800GT, and the blue one like my 6800GT. They certainly didn't seem to change too much.

[madmat]

When the 5900U came out this was the second card to hit the market and when I bought it it cost a friggen mint...$550.00.

Yeah, they haven't really changed the PCB's much since the FX series came out, to me it looks like a little minor design changes with a different GPU soldered on although I'm sure they're considerably different under the skin.

[tomato]

Sweet pics of your cards, guys ;) I would post up mine, but my lowly ATI 8500 LE just doesn't cut it anymore :( (don't worry, an upgrade is about to take place ;) )

I don't care how many people trash talk Swiftech for using molded tops, that just looks good.

with ViVo great hardware working with it for the past 3 years.

[sbrehm72255]

I like the molded tops myself, I have both the APOGEE and MCW60 with molded tops................;) As a matter of fact, I also have the Storm CPU block and with both CPU and GPU water cooled, I get better performance using the APOGEE and MCW60 than I did when I tried the Storm with the MCW60.

[sbrehm72255]

My old 9800Pro.

[Rob Williams]

The 9800Pro was an _amazing_ card. It's now in my moms computer doing nothing :(

[sbrehm72255]

I'm still using mine in my second box...............:eek: I'm to poor to upgrade and beside, as long as it does it's intended job and plays well at Lans, I'll have to keep it........;)

[Rob Williams]

I may as well post what my cards look like side by side. The Accelero is not even _that_ much taller than the Silencer. If only it was a few mm shorter, it would fit in my case with the door closed.

[sbrehm72255]

I bet it would fit in my cude.......................:)

[werty316]

The Accelero is sweet but I like the NV5 more. The Accelero isn't even a big improvement in my view from the NV5.

[Jakal]

I'll wait for that new Zalman. I like my NV5, not sure if it cools any better than the original heatsink though. Swiftech has a nice water block for the new Nvidia cards. I may look into it if or when I go with wc'ing.

[Rob Williams]

I have to agree, the new Zalman looks pimp.

[sbrehm72255]

Yup, water cooling all the way..................:eek: Nvidia block is the same one that I'm using, just a different back plate............;)

Whoops. That's what the block I was thinking of. I saw a pic on ebay one day and I thought I remember seeing Swiftech. After some searching I came upon that block there, which is the product I saw.

[sbrehm72255]

Those are extremely low flow blocks (1/4 inch tubing) but they will do the job I guess. There are other mono blocks the perform much better if you're looking at a all in one solution. All in ones are easier to use for some people but offer less performance that a GPU blocu and some simple ram sinks. I know of numorus people that have dumped their high dollar all in one mono blocks for the simple and cheaper better performing GPU block.
But like they say, if works for you and makes you happy............:) then all is good.........;)

[Rob Williams]

Aha, now I know who you are Sbrehm :P

I knew I recognized that case mod somewhere :-D

[sbrehm72255]

I don't know if that is good or bad...........:eek:

Should I run and hide now, or just run............:D

[Rob Williams]

Haha, it's all good :D

[sbrehm72255]

That's good to know............;)

Thought I might have really pissed someone off or something...........:eek:

[Rob Williams]

Haha, heck no. Feeling guilty about something? ;)

:P

[sbrehm72255]

Guilty, not really.............:eek: I just don't like to get people upset. I like quiet and friendly..........:)

[Rob Williams]

Tru dat man!

So I guess your love of water cooling somewhat resembles your personality. They both like quiet :D

[sbrehm72255]

Yup, that's me 100% ........;) It also goes for where I live, way out in the country, no city noise, none of that mess.

[Rob Williams]

Ahh that's cool. I don't know why, but I tend to prefer living in the city. I am not crazy about noise, but I just like being close to everything. Of course, out in the country the air is much cleaner, hah.

Hey, if one has access to a resturant or two and maybe a Fry's Electronics, they're good to go!
