I'm not all that excited about the new look. Looks cheap. Anyone else?

    i don't mind the MEsh so much but the screws don't fit the look at all imo and the side badge? looks really strange with the rest of the design

    My thoughts exactly. Not crazy about the screws. Got a mechanical look. Not slick at all.

    my plans are to remove the screws and replace with a flat soft rivet and then paint to match. that is untill i can get a nice waterblock for the card i buy.

    I think that the card looks beautiful all around including the mesh. I love the new front illuminated logo. Would look much nicer than my EVGA 980 Ti. The RGB is also cool on the FTW but I doubt you could see much of it when the card is put into the case.

    I'm very excited. It looks super slick, especially the ACX from EVGA coming. They're both very top notch. Nice job Nvidia and EVGA. you both finally did something very well here.
