They need to ditch the blue PCB - it just doesn't look right on a graphics card
Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.
They've used blue pcbs for a fairly long time and I prefer colourful components as it gives your pc a bit more variety. Tbh I think Gigabyte are the best hardware manufacturer around, they always use good quality components and led the way in eco friendly products, even on low end products. I used to like ASUS but they got complacent due to being market leaders. Next graphics card I will definitely consider Gigabyte strongly, though of course availability at your favourite retailer and price have to be good.
Inclined to agree. Only have a Gigabyte motherboard, but it's top notch, especially considering what I paid for it.Originally Posted by joel_spencer
Also, I quite like the blue flourishes. Goes really nicely with the silver/chrome chipset heatsinks
A Blue PCB is better than the red PCB I have on my 5870. At least a blue PCB will match the rest of the PCBs in my PC.They need to ditch the blue PCB - it just doesn't look right on a graphics card

But a red PCB makes sense as its ATI.
Also, I'm not knocking Gigabyte - my P45 board i had of theirs will forever hold a place in my tech heart - solid board, solid overclocking and never moaned about anything.

Well I hope they do cards aimed at the HTPC market. Low profile and passive is what floats my boat. Can be double or even tripple width, I don't care
All my own systems are Gigabyte based. One Intel and two AMD.
Gigabyte were the only manufacturer that bothered to make a PASSIVE Radeon 4850! Sure it still needed good airflow, but I distinctly hope that they try this again with the Radeon 6xxx series.
