A Tribute to the Box Art of Video Cards

It might be a geek thing, but since I was a teen and started playing with computers I have always admired the box of video cards. They always had some beautiful graphic art. Dragons, knights and other creatures that inspired my fantasies about the games I would play.

Thinking about that I decided to create a collection with pictures of video card boxes. Enjoy.

Video Box Card art has duped me too many times. King’s Quest doesn’t look any better with this $250 card than it did on my IBM PC Jr.

I’ve always liked video-card box art, but only because it’s goofy as all hell.

And here I thought I was the only one who adored the art on gfx card boxes. Check out Gigabyte’s cards, they’re great.

You should also do a tribute to all the demos out there that showcase the graphical power. I think it’ll be cool to see the different technology that wowed us over the years.

I saved for almost a year to afford a Voodoo card for our old Pentium. Before that, the rage was gourad shading (TIE Fighter).

Some of these are pretty kick-ass. My GeForce 8800GT has a rather boring package. I was robbed.
