Today’s graphics card boxes are boring. Take me back to the days of this kind of box art

  1. “What type of alien should we use for our box art? Scary? Awesome? We need something to represent our GPUs graphical fidelity. Any ideas?”

    “What about an alien which looks like it’s about to probe someone?”

    “Great idea”

    i feel like the people who came up with these were also making the music videos for 90’s rave music

    Genuinely lots of stuff like this across every market and product, from video cards to cars, from restaurant interiors to toothpaste.

    Some people online call it “refinement culture.” Everything converging over time around the same basic model of successful design: sleek, inoffensive, minimalist, smooth, bare — in short, character-less.

    I hate it. And I want everything to be weird and cringe again.

    I have one of those 😀

    Mine is the Medion R9800XT XXL 128MB. Very nice card. Has a semi backplate and big heatsink. Bought it for 30$ 🙂

    I remember my Radeon 8500 which had something I can only describe as a humunculus on the box.
