Post by: [MAF]Snoopy on December 28, 2010, 06:57:29 pm
This is purely based on looks for me because they both perform the same but i can't decide what i like the most, and all i do is look at reviews and find i get nowhere lol. so help! :D

I'd pick the Cyclone as it looks less like most GFX cards.  But the Hawk might have better cooling looking at the extra pipes / fans.

the Hawk card is similar to my old Gainward GTX 260 which i had sold

so i am leaning more towards the cyclone but mehhhhhhhhhhh

any other recommendations around the same price range will be greatly appreciated :)

Hawk is better than Cyclone.

But you shouldn't buy this GPU. Wait For GTX 560.

Or buy an 6950 and change BIOS with 6970's BIOS.

Check these sites.

Second link is Turkish language. just watch and try to understand.

couldn't find English language.

if the HAWK is like your g-ward, then I'd go for the cyclone, looks nicer anyway :P

Hawk looks like its gonna last longer, and better cooled.

or you can get them both, keep the one you like and send the other to me

Who cares if the GPU is pretty or ugly :O it's not a car, when your friends come over the house, they won't look if the GPU is cute, they maybe will see if you got an powerfull pc, and thats all :O) id buy the most powerfull, on the lowest budget

Bah, who cares about all these kiddie gamer video cards?? I use an ATI X1600 from 2006. Works perfectly, does everything I need it to. If I want to play games, I turn on my PS3.

For me you couldve waited for a newer card.Cyclone looks nice, bit less cooling than hawk probably but silent, surely with one fan and bigger than two sidebyside.

Well this one looks the best with an aesthetical(guess right typo) sight.
