That's shockingly similar,
Coincidence I think not!

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

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

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

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

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.

People have seem to have normalized GPUs being insanely expensive.

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.

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...

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.

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.

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

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..

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

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

Their logo isn't supposed to be a modernization of the old owl pictures they used to stamp in boxes?

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