I take it this greatly boosts clocks and lowers temperature?
 
I'm pretty sure this is useless crap.
Maybe to you, but im sure someone out there wants this. Just because you dont doesnt mean you need to crap all over it.

Well that's why they do it, Sucker born everyday so that makes a lot of suckers.

You mean someone who's bought an ugly gpu, whined about it on EVGA forums, and paid MORE to not make it less ugly?
 
Evga makes head gaskets?

It's a cosmetic accessory for a card that carries a £200 premium over the base models because it has an amazing looking (and performing) cooler, it's not like they don't know what the target audience wants.

Wish they made it for the XC Ultra cards too.
 
This site is turning into Reddit. Every thread full of moaning and constant criticism. It's cosmetic, some people like to mod their pc's and show off there parts. Do people moan about your ornaments or pictures when they come round your house?
 
Nope, as we don't have any ornaments, well i have a cool looking Christmas one, other wise they are just annoying need to be dusted all the time. As for picture's they would just get punched square in the nose.

And unlike the ungrateful people int he world i can just tell them GTFO.

What they should do is actually sell the cards with these in the first place, then again a extra $100 on the price tag LMAO.
 
As if the friggin " gazillion colored-RGB everywhere on everything" thing isn't bad enough already, now modders have become so stinkin petty & delusional that they NEED to add useless (and moar expensive) bling bling to every possible component.....

what a waste.....just turning tools into toys :(
 
525 Gold shroud please?

We now have golden DDR4, why not continue this trend with other components?

Red trim - higher clocks
Blue trim - lower temps
Green trim - better perf/watt
Carbon shroud - Less sag

I mean, this is common sense :peace:

Gaming GPUs are toys though.

Thats your opinion.

naturally!

not only that it will automatically make the user appear 69% more attractive to the opposite sex
 
Wow all this over a gpu fan shroud. It's going to be so much stronger which is good!

And this is why you get a sapphire card

Well warranty is my main concern, in fact how it looks is pretty much at the bottom of the list for me.
