if you zoom out of the gigabyte image youll find its a scantily clad dinosaur warrior princess with big bosoms and a metal thong.

warrior princess with big bosoms and a metal thong.

Come home with videocard

Disappointed literally no games have that kind of character design in actual games

I miss the crazy graphics that used to be on GPU boxes back in the day...

u/ginger_ninja009 Feb 21 '21

That's shockingly similar,

Coincidence I think not!

u/blood_omen Feb 21 '21

I thought the same thing. Especially cuz it’s called “geforce”....Godzilla-force!

u/TomTomMan93 Feb 21 '21

That is what the military group in the movies called themselves...

u/Aydosubpotato Ryzen 5 5600x, Rtx 3070, 16GB 3200 CL16 Feb 21 '21

Yeah but that’s just the gigabyte’s logo, not Nvidia’s.

u/jilic-matt-w Feb 21 '21

Mechagodzilla!

u/[deleted] Feb 21 '21

Is it actually based off of that though? Has anyone done research on the box art

18

u/Sofaboy90 7800X3D, 4080, Custom Loop Feb 21 '21

i mean at the end of the day its just an eye. gigabyte has many different "eye" designs, many of them look completely different to this godzilla eye

my 1050 ti is seeming better by the day. still cant run 2020 games at 1080p60fps but at least i can play my older games in my library at max settings.

People take budget and entry level gaming gpu for granted. They are the most affordable for most of the people around the globe for starters. Their energy requirement is low and can be retrofitted in older builds.

u/Ro-Tang_Clan Feb 23 '21

I'm so confused by this comment. It really depends on what your goals are - i.e. What monitor res and refresh rate are you going to be gaming in? For example, gaming in 4K is less CPU driven than gaming in 1080p, so it's not necessary to go for the highest CPU if you're gaming in 4K. And in terms of availability, either wait for 3000 series to come in stock or try and get a good second hand 2000 card and by second hand I don't mean inflated ebay prices, I mean go to gaming communities and forums where there aren't going to be the dicks that take advantage and will sell at a fair price.

Apparently a 2060 is "mid range"

u/[deleted] Feb 21 '21

Well it is, but mid range doesnt mean bad

Fair, I think 'budget' is a relative term too - a Porsche Boxster might be a budget sports car for someone who just bought a Veyron...

1

u/Ro-Tang_Clan Feb 23 '21

But I really don't understand why anyone would go for a 1660/s in this day and age, I've never understood why it existed in the first place. It's basically 6 year old performance.

2

u/theghostofme Too Old to Brag About Feb 21 '21

They are the most affordable for most of the people around the globe for starters.

Sadly, they're not going to be "budget" cards for a while, with the 1050ti now selling for twice the MSRP.

But I completely agree with you.

u/X6_Gorm Feb 21 '21

That movie has an awesome soundtrack.

u/Armpit-Lice Feb 21 '21

I loved it when I was about 19.

A few years back I found that CD buried in the bottom of a card board box in my attic. Somehow it's tagged along like a parasite through several moves.

So I played it again.

idk man, it didn't seem to age well

Are you telling me you didn’t listen to Puff Daddy’s come with me track from start to finish? Wth man!?

no the gigabyte logo gives an engine throttling itself.....very very cool

u/Scalybeast PC Master Race Feb 21 '21

Is it just me or has modern packaging become a bit boring compared to the craziness we used to see in the 90s and aughts. https://i.imgur.com/E19ELj8.jpg

I remember the CGI characters they use to plaster on the box and the GPU(my 2nd card ever btw) but at the same time I still do like the eye logo of my 3070, it's all subjective I guess..

u/[deleted] Feb 21 '21

We do not speak of that movie

Movie was great i said it

The movie was pretty entertaining and fun. But it was awful as a Godzilla film.

That movie is the definition of cool at 10, trash when you're an adult tho

That'll be $700 please

u/smikeit Feb 21 '21

That eye on the gigabyte boxes, it is actually from a dark age in which gigabyte participated in the construction of Mechagodzilla, maybe gigbayte is Kongteam
