Hey all,
I just wanted to share with you this "alien" on this Radeon X1300 Pro, found on a local second-hand stuff website.
Might purchase it just for the "art". It is so stupid and so cute at the same, I find it hilarious xD
I miss stuff like this from the mid '00...

on this one he is staring at something on his hand (earth?) :

here it seems happy (why though? 😜) :

same as the box but on the heatsink:

Hope you enjoyed.

I remember Radeon cards habitually featuring art that was outstandingly odd. Nice find here!
P. S. Discussing Radeon X1XXX series cards in the retro hardware section really makes me feel old 😀

We're almost on Gen 4 PCIe now...

Maybe even...

Yep. But I'm pretty sure X1xx cards came in PCI-E variants as well, and in fact it was AGP's very last echo and PCI-E was well established as mainstream by then.

Funny how sad (or worried?) alien was used on the front and the card, but the happy one takes a backseat.

Creepy GPU box covers. I'm in. How about that one:

I guess he was concerned about the card winning enough awards to cover his alien privacy.

The OP's picture is indeed weird/cute IMHO.
Man, I wish I could contribute something here, but sadly skipped about everything past the Pentium III times.
If you showed me something "oldschool" from circa 2005 and pretended it to be new, I'd likely believe it at first glance. 😅
