MRCL · Jan 27, 2010, 07:40 PM

Woa, that's one cool (hot?) looking card!

Gotta get me one of these just for babeness factor.

Within this quarter. Likely Feb.

btarunr · Jan 27, 2010, 08:52 PM

Radeon HD 5570, and HD 5450.

pantherx12 · Jan 27, 2010, 08:53 PM

That heatsink whilst looking awesome is such an inefficient design XD could of had the same surface area in something much lower profile me thinks.

I had a HIS 4870 512MB which I loved the look of (and performance was pretty good, too). I then sold it on eBay to upgrade to a GTX 285 and have missed it ever since.

I will not be impressed by looks alone.

Its Funny that the 5870 is bigger than all these Beasts

The 5970 will smash down a solid wall.

Crisium · Feb 1, 2010, 04:26 PM

ASUS EAH4870 512MB

SUPERREDDEVIL · Feb 1, 2010, 04:35 PM

the cooler from 4770 and also the same for 3870...

Black sexy design

I still have a soft spot in my heart for my old ASUS 9800 Pro 256MB.

TIGR · Feb 1, 2010, 05:11 PM

Haha I have to give a vote to that "GTX295X4 STFU Edition." But I also always liked my old HIS IceQ X1800GTO:

btarunr · Feb 1, 2010, 05:17 PM

This was the $500 card in those days (circa 2004):

Gainward GeForce FX 5950 Ultra Golden Sample Edition.

techsmith · Feb 1, 2010, 07:19 PM

whoa, what is that extra bracket thing on the Firepro?

I wish more cards have designs on the other side instead of just PCB because that's the one that is most often visible. hehe

That bracket is for workstations, which have extra support for longer cards.

It takes the weight away from the mobo.
