nVidia...very lucky to have a FE 3080, following on from 1080 and 970 over last 7 years. Quality has been excellent, although last couple of driver updates has caused some weird flickering issues in Windows (eg Zoom).
Msi rtx2070
and have favored that brand for a while now.Originally Posted by TriCyclops
Using a paltry GT 1030.
Currently an old gtx970 and if I could find a Radeon 6800 for a sane price I'd upgrade
Currently an NVidia GTX 1660 Ti made by PNY. I have no strong leanings either way - I've come back into PC building recently after being out for many years. Historically I've had ATi Radeon cards in the pre AMD era so you could say I've dipped a toe in both camps.
Gigabyte GTX 1070 Xtreme, very happy
Currently using an ancient AIB Nvidia Geforce 550 ti.
Planning for a new PC, I'll probably go for an Nvidia RTX 30?0 when the supply improves and I have the funds. Given that there are reports of crashes due to back-of-gpu capacitor choice when pushing the limits, I'm currently leaning towards the Asus tuf gaming version since that uses six of the more expensive capacitor arrays (overkill) which work better than the single block caps, whilw some AIBs don't use any, or only one.
Currently using a Palit RTX 2060. Previously had an MSI gtx 970, EVGA gtx 670 and MSI gtx 670, and my first card was a Radeon HD5770.
I'm not loyal to any brand, I just go with what I like (or in the case of my second gtx 670, what was available) and what I can afford
Managed to bag a 3080FE a few days ago via Scan. Only just had a chance to install it and fire it up for the first time. Having been unsure that it would fit in my PC, I was pleasantly surprised to see it's noticeably more petite than my outgoing Palit GameRock 1080Ti.
The 1080Ti has been a superb card for the 3.5 years I've been using it, but is just starting to show its age in a couple of new games I'm playing in VR. I also want to get stuck into Cyberpunk in the next few weeks, and deliberately held off until I could get my grubby mitts on an RTX card.
I was tempted by the extra VRAM of the 6800XT, but also put off by its deficit in ray-tracing performance and lack of DLSS. But I've owned plenty of ATi/AMD cards over the years, and have no particular allegiance to nVidia. But their cards have just fit the bill slightly better over the last few years, for me personally.
Does this site need clicks and views?? Anyway, nVidia (right now).
Gigabyte gtx 660 windforce in SLI... Major performance upgrade, when I got the second card couple years back. But the stability of SLI is almost non existent. I was ready for a proper upgrade after 9 years of use. But of course, we know, thats not gonna happen for a while now.
Always NVIDIA cuz Cuda, and now RTX.
Great accelerators, although I would very much like to switch to AMD... They would need to offer similar tech though. And it would need to be supported by V-RAY.
I have normally used AMD cards but this time I wanted a 3080 but I couldn't find one and a 6800 xt appeared so I bagged that.
Out of the 4 machines in the house 3 of them have AMD cards, all Sapphire, Sapphire hd 5850 2Gb vapor-x in the music studio PC, Sapphire R9 290X in my wife's PC, and a Sapphire 6800XT Nitro+ in my PC (upgraded from a Sapphire RX Vega 64 reference with a water block). My eldest son has a RTX 1050 from Gigabyte.
I have preferred brands, I normally go for Sapphire when I am getting an AMD card and I wanted an EVGA 3080 but couldn't find one.
I would consider Asus cards but not for the prices that they charge, I don't think I would be gaining much bearing in mind the GPU core is the same as any other card.
Well I am well behind the times with my trusty GTX670. But it plays Borderlands 3, [kind of] so I am happy for now considering the current market.
An upgrade is on the cards, [bad pun] for my whole system which is a few years old now. I think I will go 'Green', been a Nvidia users for a long while now, so plan to stay the same, but would happily use AMD if something takes my fancy in performance, driver stability and price.
However things can wait until this crazy supply/price situation goes away. That is a game I do not want to play.
