Cool looking card. :cool: What model is it?
:D it's a HIS 5870 with bracket painted white (will go into a Fractal Design case) and fitted with an EK RAM backplate and EK waterblock.
In nickel...
and since it'll run TriFire with a 5970 that have a CU block, I decided to spraypaint them both black... :shadedshu


Turned out rather nice though...


Of course I now read all kind of horrible stories about the EK nickel, so... but my trusty local dealer assured me neither he nor his danish customer so far have run into any issues.
I've checked the nickel and it looks fine, but should I be unlucky later on, he will of course replace it.
Painted or not! :D

EK has a V2 block, but you'll need to find out what design layout your card have.

Hot graphics card porn!

I met a brand new, beautiful boxed GTX 295 the other day - and now I'm gonna undress her for your delight! :pimp:

Here she is, all wrapped up comfy in her outer coat, revealing nothing:




Here, she takes a peep at us from within her safe zone. Come on baby, don't be shy!




Ah yes, she's come out now, into the light. A little more revealing, no? But still dressed.




Ah, that's better - she's turned over and showing us her belly now! Alas still dressed, however.




Now, unfortunately, the rest is too hot to allow minors to see. Only click the Show button if you're over 18. ;)

Her virgin seal is broken! :eek: Here she comes! qubit begins to sweat a little




OMG here she is baring all! She's soo hot! qubit can barely contain himself from the excitement, sweating profusely now




Only click Show if you can take more...
And now an even hotter, jaunty pose - just look at those sockets! :eek::eek::eek: qubit loses all self control and what happens next is best left unsaid...

What bus does that silicon image gpu use?


That connector actually looks like AGP. It's possible to have AGP with less channels for a low end card, which is why so many pins are missing off the connector. The little angled tab thing at the back is a dead giveaway, no PCI connector has it, plus there's only one slot in the connector, PCI has two.

It's simply PCI-e x1 or x2 or something, the shape is exactly the same, just fewer pins.
