There needs to be a poll. Are people who are into maximizing fps in their games, playing the latest games at the highest resolutions, do they really care about looks or performance, because the appeal or lack thereof of a product is the most subjective thing there is.....He may not like the red outline but millions will, he may not like the design but millions will....
The question remains, do people who want the best perf really care about the aesthetics of their card or what color led is shown. Jay says the majority care, but how is he arriving at that conclusion. I could careless if it's a brick inside my case, do I have great performance, this is what I care about, yet we all know the AMD design is not a brick and it looks pretty slick actually...Yet I have not watched inside my case for a while, my machine runs fine and I do have a glass case, I even disabled the big blue led that was on my card....It shone the whole case. I could care-less.
