Ғылым және технология
Gordon got a special behind the scenes look at how MSI graphics card industrial designs have evolved over the years. From Twin Frozr to dragon scales/armor, MSI's graphics cards have been through many iterations and include many design cues you might have missed.

Aww so he's not back. That sux like this channel is starting to do without him. 🙁
It's wonderful to see you, Gordon! We've truly missed you.

I start collecting TwinFrozr cards years ago. Today i had 3 twinfrozr Cards as collection... - GTX 650 Ti boost with TwinFrozr III cooler - GTX 660 with TwinFrozr IV cooler - and GTX 960 with TwinFrozr V cooler. Planning to add TwinFrozr VI from Pascal or Polaris Cards lineup...
I really like the not-launched screw-together card. That looked very nice.

Agreed! I owned (well, I still do own) an MSI 1060 Gaming X, and I think it's the coolest-looking card I've ever had... But that screw-together mock up is REALLY snazzy, and makes my 1060 look kinda lame by comparison. :-P That mockup is sick.
I have to be honest, I owned some of those cards, and the claw mark thing and dragon scale thing did not really come across at all. I never thought that hard about it. The "oh it has to be red and black because 'gaming' " thing is true...
It's great to see you again Gordon! Hope you are feeling well, great video by the way.
The fact that i remember all of these cards doesn't make me feel younger.
Love these evolution sort of videos although an year tag would've helped to keep track of the timeline
Thank you for the round up, was very cool to see the history.
I miss how MSI used to show off the heat pipes, there twisted in a way to look cool from the side when the GPU is in your system. Still think my GTX 770 4GB is one of my better looking GPU's, looks so small today but back then it was big. I like having the GPU cooling as a feature, showing of the heat pipes and heat sink.
Despite being well known for their twin fans. My favorite MSI cards are the old ones with the MSI logo heatsink.
i starting following gaming industry since nvidia 500 series and my favourite card was gtx 560 ti 1 gb . it was my dream card to jv that time .its the first when i see the twin frozer design wd propeller blade design.
Return of the King
We miss you Gordon! Free Gordon!!
All massive improvements over what MSI used for the 6600 GT. Those coolers would randomly pop off the card and sound like an explosion occurred. Happened to both cards I was running in SLI, just two months apart.
The RTX 2080 gaming trio was the coolest looking gpui cooler I ever had.
The GTX 10 era has the most stylish looking GPUs ever made
Thank you for the tour and the insight on the battle between art, function, and making a profit. 🙂
Man, what a trip down memory lane. Had a 970 and 1060, both great cards. In fact the 1060 is still in service in someone else’s PC
FINALLY. A Gordon PCWorld video. 🙂
Yay !! Gordon's back !!! I hope. 👍
Superb! I wish they would make another Lightning card. They just look epic!
I remember some of those old GPU's...heck i think i still have some in storage ;)
So happy to see gordon
Happy to see Gordon again
6:20 the best Graphic card desing.
I prefer the evoke style, look good, be great in white :), great run though, I've had a few of them over the years :)
2:06 What a cute little card haha; baby GPU
My very first graphics card was the MSI gtx 660 with that twin frozr III design.

500 600 series were best ❤
❤❤❤❤❤ YAY GORDY IS BACK ❤❤❤❤❤
i was interested in lightning series coolers and i got it last 30 seconds. i expected more
It's not because I have an MSI 3080, but that 3000 series card looks the best. Nice video Gordon, I'd like to see the rest of the brands too if you're up to it
GORDON!!!
evoke looks so good
He Lives
MSI always had the coolest GPU designs!
Still have a MSI GTX 980 somewhere in in box :)
The original silver twin frozrs were some of the niceset looking cards.

exactly. hawk cards r missing
My last MSI card evolved in a Gigabyte card over few days...due to a problematic MSI's design fault of too exposed components for installation in tight spaces. In fact MSI card was way better, but time to fix it was crucial...but I wish I could've tested and used it for years though...
1:37 I see what you did there 😏
Weird MSI cooling shroud review. No PCBs on almost all of these cards....
msi gtx 500 series was best in terms of design language, after that their blackish grey rtx 2000 series sounds best. these were well symmetrical like gtx 500 series. not that big or bulky. in 3000 series msi cost cutted gaming x linup and introduce big bully suprim cards which many like us who buy slim performance card didn't like it. msi has stopped making lightning and hawk cards. currently their gaming slim x linup look awesome but upto 4070 ti. 4080s and 4090 are stil chunky but they hv atleast improved their design language in symmetry. GPU shrouds shud line with gpu slot holders. they shouldn't hv huge height and width. plus their length shud under 310mm bcz the 90% cases in the Market wud easily accomodate their card.
It is sad to see that MSI puts more and more budget on marketing instead of R&D.
I remember those evoke models looked cool but performed so badly, it's like they just retconned them immediately.
They used to be good, especially the top tier series, they have devolved since 3080 fiasco. I'd say since 20 series when they started to gut cards to nickel and dime
The red cards were hideous. The newer Grey/Silver/Black cards look like every other GPU 😂 I have a Gigabyte Radeon and it looks very similar to the GeForce 3000 series MSI GPU.
Not much of a history. I have several older maintenance cards in my cabinet going back to the GeForce 3 or 4
what happened to gordon anyway
What do you mean you don't think about it? Of course you think about it, when deciding on components and when looking at it. Who wants a mismatched look?
MSI doesn't make GPUs. They make graphics cards using GPUs made by others.
MSI doesn't have good customer service.
Not a fan of msi gpu
Aww my old GTX 580 Lightning Xtreme Twin Frozr III isn't there 🥲
