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.

    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...

    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...

    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.

    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.

    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...

  • @CaptainScorpio24

    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.

    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.
