Got my gtx 295 when it was first released. it died on me in not even 2 years of use without overclocking... But imo this was the single most awesome looking graphics card design aesthetically from evga or entirely through my eyes, i just loved it's look so much. it pained me to have to RMA it for a nasty loud and high temp 480! with weird aerodynamic curves and stuff D< and since my fav color is red, this just made me drool... http://uk.hardware.info/n...-gtx-295-graphics-card what's your favorite looking graphics card? and which card do you miss the most?

My favorite looking GPU: probably either the GTX 580, or the 9800GX2. Radically different designs, but both with their own style.
As for a card I miss the most, I'd have to say the first GTS 250 I'd gotten. That thing could OC like a champ, got better framerates than some GTX 275's. Blew out recently and shot smoke in my face on a test bench. Oh well.

Aw... dude... you shouldn't have asked that one.
My favorite is a pair of evga GTS 8800 512s... best looking and best running cards I ever had.
Of course... that's not counting 3dfx Voodoo... the best of the best... forever and ever... but that goes with out saying.
Canopus Pure 3d... Diamond Viper nVidia 128... 1997... Voodoo3 3500, then Voodoo4 4500... sorry... forgive me.
I reminisce.
I've got an old pair of evga GTX 260/192 vanilla that I refuse to get up off of... rock solid... just don't look as good as those evga GTS 8800 512s. Still, I'm hanging on to them, even threatening these pair evga 470 sc... one more time, just one more time... yeah... ebay!

At this time my favourite card is the GTX 295. I have one with a Bitspower waterblock and looks pretty.

The EVGA GTX 295 Red Editions are by far the most beautiful GeForce cards ever made, they are also the rarest as production cards go, only 500 were made as J. Freeman told me  Here a picture I made of them when I was testing the EVGA GTX 680 SC Signature Edition 2GB, as I laid my GTX 295 RE's here to rest out a bit, after I gave them some polishing up   Nothing beats their red beauty, I still use them in my main setup, they are faster than a single GTX 580 when there is no VRAM limit hehe, a GTX 680 on the other hand is a tad faster

Not super old but I miss my GTX 460 as it ran very cool and would overclock like a beast. Would easily hit 850Mhz on stock voltage and shoot past 900Mhz with a voltage tweak without breaking a sweat. I liked the 9800 GTX+ that I had but it ran way too hot.
