Graphics cards shouldn't have tramp stamps tho.

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

Gotta get me one of these just for babeness factor.

Do you know when it's being released?

Radeon HD 5570, and HD 5450.

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've always been a sucker for any ATi with the reference style red blower cooler like this...

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. :cry:

I will not be impressed by looks alone.

I have to agree..............

Its Funny that the 5870 is bigger than all these Beasts

The 5970 will smash down a solid wall. :roll:

ASUS EAH4870 512MB

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

TIGR · Feb 1, 2010

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

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

Gainward GeForce FX 5950 Ultra Golden Sample Edition.

techsmith · Feb 1, 2010

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.
