    Do you want like just a slogan or a picture of the mobile card itself? Or just as long as it says 8600gt?

    What resolution?

    I have an idea for a kinda neat one that I can make out of my high resolution photos from my c90s review. I'll cook it up at 1680x1050 since thats the native res of my screen.

    A bit of a work in progress, the shape on the left is just something I'm toying with, definitely not finished by any means.

    Very cool. The green text almost makes it seem matrix like. Looks like I'll have a decent selection to keep changing it when i feel like it by the time everyones done =) thanks everyone really.

    Ugh, why does nvidia's main color have to be green? NOTHING GOES WITH GREEN! I'd add red but then it's look like christmas.

    Finished :D

    I used some shapes and design samples from some previous works to get it done but I like the simple, elegant look. I had so many ideas for an 8800gtx wallpaper though. I didn't want to be too flamboyant for the humble but hard working 8600gt.

    Thats not the actual chip is it? looks rendered or sketched plus nothing like the actual one in my computer. Sort of like a logo was just put ontop of another real image of a chip (also because the corners are pointed but the die should be round at the edges)

    I think it is promotional material but it still looks cool.
