remember when GPU companies would slap screen shots of games or artistic design on cards to make them look more appealing than a regular plastic shroud? some would sometimes appear less "Child Friendly" too 🤣

kinda sad card companies don't do this anymore. not for the nearly naked game characters on the bottom of my nvidia GPU or BFG's bald man touching his head though that one rocked.

I didn't do nVidia cards at the time so I don't have any of their 'art' cards... if there's art involved it's gonna be a face on a box. Matrox M3D is among this with one of the earliest female gpu mascots, obviously compromising for the mystique harlequin

but what I do consider pretty cards are the Hercules shiny blue PCBs

I think I've seen shiny blue PCBs a long time ago but I also remember lavender coloured PCBs though I don't remember which company used lavender coloured PCBs for their stuff.
