Looking for a nice looking display GPU

[SadisticWaifu]

Since I haven't really spent much money on my setup in a while, I thought I might wanna get a display GPU, something that looks awesome but it's under 60 euros. I want to use this GPUs for the following things: have it on a shelf, use it as a test GPU for repairs on other PC's and sometime just plug into my main PC just for the looks. I have the following suggestions till now, the 780ti Fe, 980 Fe, 1070 ti Zotac Amp(the 3 fan one)(if they drop from 80 euros down to 60-65) and maybe some EVGA blower 680 I guess. I saw a 580 from Zotac, I think it was the amp2 variant, but that's too old. From what I found, I saw a nice looking 780ti for about 30, a 980 for 50 and that's it.

Any suggestions are welcome, even if they are niche or something

Thanks a lot,
Best regards, Artur

Maybe this strange blue Radeon workstation card? https://pcpartpicker.com/product/24X2FT/amd-100-505999-radeon-pro-wx-3100-4-gb-video-card-100-505999

Or this cheaper one? https://pcpartpicker.com/product/rnkwrH/amd-radeon-pro-wx-2100-2-gb-video-card-100-506001

How about the cheapest waifu cards from Aliexpress etc?

No idea about their pricing though.

They look nice, too bad I cannot find them on my market place );

Not a bad idea, will look into it

Also with some luck, you could score something rare-ish like an Asus Matrix card or something. IIRC I paid ~30EUR for HD 7970 Matrix & R9 290X Matrix Platinum each.

And they look pretty damn cool.

ASUS ROG Matrix HD 7970 Specs

AMD Tahiti, 1050 MHz, 2048 Cores, 128 TMUs, 32 ROPs, 3072 MB GDDR5, 1500 MHz, 384 bit

ASUS ROG Matrix R9 290X Platinum Specs

AMD Hawaii, 1050 MHz, 2816 Cores, 176 TMUs, 64 ROPs, 4096 MB GDDR5, 1350 MHz, 512 bit

780 Ti Matrix Platinum looks similar if you manage to score that.

Yeston

Maybe print out a custom vinyl skin for the shroud, such as Cortana, or Dot Matrix, Hexadecimal, Mouse, AndrAIa (Some of y'all may get it)

Single slot card like Galax GTX 1070 Katana, I got one and I love sleek thin card like that. Reminding me of old days of GeForce 8800GT/9600GT era. I found there is single slot GTX1660 that made by Colorful as well.

Always wanted one of the Golden (all copper) MSI cards.

This 980 Ti looks sweet.

I actually would go for something retro, specifically one of the older ATI cards with Ruby on it. It’s just such a piece of “you had to be there” GPU history. NVidias FEs could never.

Just realized you could put some super RGB Thermaltake fans on some card and buy a PWM adapter to have them be controlled by the card's temp monitoring.
