GPU Companies

ASUS doesn't have this problem :^)

Havent had any problems with EVGA

Well, my GTX 460 died after 7 years of beating the fuck out of it with a lot games, but cooked it back to life.

It died again last week when i was cleaning it (had bad temps) i accidentally ripped on of those little resistors next to the GPU

I'm probably going with EVGA for my next card. Or maybe XFX. They both have pretty good warranties and customer service, from what I've heard.

i have a Gigabyte GTX 970 Windforce for 3 years, no complaints at all

Their 480s on the other hand are supposed to have a terrible cooler. I don't know about previous generations but i bet that isn't new to polaris and OP was buying their AMD cards

Their 1070s and 1080s were literally housefires(although that has supposedly been fixed).

>>59412059
If you wanna be absolutely safe about it, get one of the icx cards none of them have the issue that was causing fires

My GTX 770 fried itself. The fans weren't spinning up nearly as much as they needed to. I later found out they idle at around 122f. I still had to pay for it because it died just a few months after the warranty expired.

ok here we go...

Best tier: EVGA for nvidia. Sapphire for AMD. usually the most expensive but also almost always the best. XFX is also good for AMD and has great customer service but overall sapphire is king.

Great tier: Asus...also RGB tier for those who want pretty lights. Goes for either nvidia or AMD. Can be comparable at times with evga and sapphire but typically comes with a shitload of colored lights. Buy Asus for RGB.

good budget tier: PNY for nvidia. They suck compared to other cards generally but they're cheaper and the fucking things work. If you're after 'A gpu that works" with no frills and a fair price its a fine option...Ive never had one break Although /g/ will bitch about the cheapskate choice.

Zotac is generally considered trash.

I figured Zotac was terrible. Their cards are almost always the cheapest.

I'd trust most MSI gpu's
I don't like their motherboards though.
I'm not a huge fan of PNY but last time my gpu fried they replaced it no questions

As said above ive never had any issues with cheap ass pny...but i do hear their service is very nice.

i bought my wife a pny gtx 960 a year or 2 ago and it works flawlessly for her and it was so fucking cheap we ended up with it instead of the 950 she had originally wanted.

I had a few others in the past myself..they're fine.

>not buying whichever one has the best warranty
literally the only thing that matters.
the price difference is negated when it craps out in 3 years
and the cooling doesn't matter when it comes to air. (just add more case fans faggot)
