Nice closeup!

Do you leave the room lights on when you shoot your pictures? The connectors seem to reflect a different lightsource.

^ That's with a lightent, no yellowish hue on some of the components. I think if you do have one of the lights on in the room, they are reflected in the connectors.

I've updated my whole site with higher quality pictures of the cards :

Also a few other cards have been added, listed in the updates :

http://www.tga3dx.com/Updates.html

To come are hopefully pictures of the boxes and accessories. It won't take as much time as this though. It nearly drove me insane. Taking the pictures was only a small part of it all. Editing, filling in the background on all pictures was most time consuming, about 365 pics or so.

ps. The reason I've not made the watermark part of the cards is that I did not want to change the view of the cards in any way. It's easy to remove the watermark, but I don't think many people will bother with them anyway. It's more to show where the image came from originally if it's posted in forums etc.

Argh, I forgot to edit the template lol. It's changed now.

Thanks! (also for the kind words)

That particular card was my first proper 3D accelerator. I kept it ever since.

lol, talking about overexaggerating. Grin

Personally speaking, I like it a lot better then the up in your face graphics card pictures. There is such a thing as too little background as well. Also this way it's a little bit more offset then having the pictures all the way in the top left corner.

Anyway, that's just my opinion.

I ended up buying two 24" widescreen LG W2442 monitors to replace the three monitors. With the three screens, the resolution was 3840x1024. Left and right screens were both Analog and the same model. The center monitor is the digital+analog model.

Bought it like 6 years ago for $51 from Compuvest.
