Special edition graphics
Special edition graphics cards always catch my eye, be it MSi’s anniversary cooler for their 100ME cards or limited production models like ASUS’s ARES or MARS cards. The gold looks AWESOME, and ASUS is one of those brands that I never fail to recommend.
I’d love to own a piece of PC hardware history (and a big upgrade for my PC wouldn’t hurt either).

Iv been with ASUS for all of
Iv been with ASUS for all of my PC life. Iv never used another brand of Graphics card. I started out with the ASUS AGP-V3400. Haha it was the first of its kind to have a fan enhanced heat sink! At the time I thought it was the pinnacle of computer technology. Then I moved onto the ASUS V8200 DLX, a beast at the time and if I’m correct the first graphics card to have premium black PCB. Not to waste anymore of your time reading I’m now running a ASUS GeForce GTX 980 Ti ROG Poseidon Platinum 6GB. Great for anything and everything i do. I think I am a loyal ASUS customer and would love and appreciate this limited addition Graphics Card.
Thanks
