Is that a Cyberpunk 2077 edition?

That’s good glad to see them stepping up their aesthetics I always buy EVGA so I’m pretty hyped

I wonder if the Kingpin will run cooler due to the water cooler

That is just absolutely disgusting. Why would anyone do that? Now the card is ugly from both sides…

EVGA always has the best looking cards imo

Aesthetics are always subject to opinion. The Asus and MSI cards look pretty good themselves.

I tend to.buy EVGA regardless of aesthetics for that customer service mainly

I do like the MSI cards and Asia cards though I just hate the ROG branding.

Hope to see some benchmarks between all the 30 series soon and not strung out according to release dates. Though it looks like I’ll be eyeing a 3080 at the very least to replace my 2080ti.

Like audio.
Don’t really care or give 2 cents of looks, just be silent and under the table.
Some like to see everything and pretty parts and ‘gamer’ design.

I mean… I care enough not to have a fugly mess on my hands(I ain’t one of those lowlifes who won’t put in an ounce of effort into cable management), but I care more about performance, reliablitity (still gonna OC and you can’t stop me!), and bang for my buck. That’s not to say I wouldn’t buy a case with a side pannel to show off a build I’m particularly proud of, or that I put extra effort into. I still wanna build a Black/Red with Gold accents theme and dub it “Succubus Queen”, but that’s a long ways off ^^

After you get to a point where “all computers are tools”, cables and looks and builds don’t mean anything. As long as the shit (computers) works, it’s good.

Eh, I used to be that way with clothes. It fit, wasn’t something like neon orange and fuchsia levels of “fuck, that’s ugly as HELL”, and was relatively comfortable, I didn’t give a shit. Then I got my first job and since found I had a bit more of a sense for shit that at least moderately went together (though I still like A LOT of black).
Functionality, comfort, and performance still rank higher then appearance to me, but that doesn’t mean that appearance isn’t ruled out all together.

Hah. like me but with computers… they were nice and fun. Bit more performance, bit more memory, better graphics card… then you start working with them. Every day and troubleshoot.
Couldn’t care less, as long it works.
I’m actually in a spot. If i needed a performance computer. I would rather buy a “customized” still company build computer, for the purpose i would need it. If it cost’s ~150$ more, it’s worth it.
Than do anything to it myself, plug in cables and be done with it.

Eh, I enjoy the building process too much.

Havent had a chance to watch it myself but its GN so no apologies: https://youtu.be/7puH-8aCfBY

Gigabyte card looks nice in the thumb

So, only the RTX 3090 gets SLI?
