sk2play Colorful unveiled the world's first passive-cooled (fanless) GeForce GTX 680 graphics card http://www.techpowerup.co...680-Graphics-Card.html Man this card would go beautifully in my rig. _Nite_ EVGA 8800 GTS KO ACS3 Edition, I had the 320MB model and really liked the look of it. This card looks pretty awesome as well. I like the detail they put in on the shroud itself. Also the Titan does look cool as someone mentioned above but all it looks like is a glorified 690. Not bad but even though I would never see one in my system I was hoping to see something way different then whats already been seen.

 This card, the EVGA GTX285 Classified. I still want one. The GTX295 posted earlier as well as the GTX690 and Titan. But I like the 285 Classified the most. Looks elegant yet sophisticated. Two words I never thought I would use on a piece of computer hardware.

boredgunner I can't choose just one. The 8800 Ultra stands out: EVGA 9800GTX and 9800GTX+ EVGA 9800GX2 EVGA GTX 295 EVGA GTX 580 Classified And now the Titan.  + 1 for the ultra it still looks great and i think that the large protruding fan is still a valid design for current cards The titan looks good as well, I'm not a fan of the smooth look, although the Red 295 was a classic

I have triple 580 GTX hydro, and their single slot solution is just absolutely stunning to look at. So clean...

 I like the look of the up-and-coming Asus ROG Poseidon, it's either going to be on a 780 or 770 card and features water cooling and air cooling as a hybrid cooler.

And now the Titan. 
I will put my vote in there, the subdued industrial look is nice. Bright colored plastic is almost always a loser in my book.

8800 GT reference gets my vote as well. It is one of few inanimate objects I use the word "sexy" to describe. Simply elegant. If I get to choose a second, the GTX690 would be it. Toughest looking card ever made.

would have been better if it was a 100% clear shroud (like made out of plexiglass) instead of a semi clear one.

Always thought this was a pretty cool design, but since the gtx titan came out. It gets my vote.

Hmmm It would have to be the Titan or the XFX double-D R9 card that glows.
