That card looks like a major cause of global warming.

The desert background on the box is our world after everyone starts using this card. The women is there to distract you from the truth.

What is it with the video card boxes always having poorly-rendered raytraced women on them?
I mean, sure, sex sells (and I have no problem with it), but how often do you actually see videocards on store shelves? All the videocards I see on shelves are the Best Buy plastic box variety. All the other videocards I buy are in the back of the store and the guy at the desk runs to fetch them for me, or I order them online.
Seems like a waste of an art budget to make a pretty (and mis-representative) box that nobody is going to see.
Quote:That said, I find it retarded that they think I'm going to buy a card because some scantly-clad CGI rendered bizatch is on the cover. Because, you know, people usually don't buy video cards for their dicks...With 6 billion people on this planet someone must have... [lol]
