    Nvidia forever... except for that one time when I had an AMD RX460. Currently rocking an ASUS RTX 2080

    Re: QOTW: Which brand of graphics card do you use?

    I've always preferred AMD but as for board brand I'll go for the best reviewed one/what I can get hold of. Currently rocking a Sapphire rx480 8gb Nitro+ because it was the only board available at launch. Replacements are just too expensive right now!

    Used to have a Manli (made for Indian market) 980Ti, Now I have a Gigabyte 1080Ti. After 3 failed RMAs and a full refund I've promised myself never to buy a EVGA. I think their only good cards are the KingPins, the rest are just overpriced Palit or Zotac, quality-wise.

    Yeah, after a mishap with an MSI gaming laptop, back in the GF570 era, I am now a big fan of their products. Also went for Unify for the same reasons. Not that I'm not partial to a bit of lighting in the case, but don't like it on the board.

    Re: QOTW: Which brand of graphics card do you use?

    I'm still using my aged but proven HIS 7850 IceQ X Turbo X 2GB with an ARCTIC cooler. I planed to upgrade it last fall to a RX 580 8GB or a RX 5500 XT within my tight budget but as it always happen in life things more important came up. Now it's impossible to upgrade the GPU because of a kind of shortage and of massive psychopathic usury and extortional price jacking what's going on here in Germany even crappier ones than my old one are insane overpriced everywhere...so F.U.. I upgraded my storage capacity instead.

    Re: QOTW: Which brand of graphics card do you use?

    I go with whatever's best value in my price bracket (preferably nVidia) when I'm upgrading. Currently running a MSI GTX 1660 Ti Ventus XS 6GB which I picked up early on in the blip as an upgrade to a 2GB GTX960 just cos it was a cheap customer return and you could see prices were about to shoot up. Should do me a while yet; other components will need an upgrade first!

    Re: QOTW: Which brand of graphics card do you use?

    Been using MSI cards for the most part, not for any particular reason, just that they were available, decent enough price and adequate cooling. My last 4 generations of GPU purchases.

    MSI GTX 970 Twin Frozr 3 or whatever its called
    EVGA GTX 1070 FE
    MSI 2070 Super Gaming X Trio
    MSI 3080 Suprim X

    Re: QOTW: Which brand of graphics card do you use?

    Got an ASUS ROG GTX 980, been pretty happy with it over the years. Next one will be based on: 1. what's in stock, and 2. what's reasonably priced.

    Re: QOTW: Which brand of graphics card do you use?

    I currently run two Gigabyte Radeon R9 290X OC in my machine. For the next rig I will use Sapphire Radeon RX6800XT Nitro OC+ . In the past I prefer to use Sapphire cards or MSI TwinFrozR series, and back in the 90's I had ELSA/Colorful/Gainward nVidia cards. The first card I had was a Voodo I.

    I've got a few. GTX 1060 GB. Quadro K5000. RTX 2080. I'd like to get a 30-series card but they keep selling out everywhere and I won't pay extortionate prices.

    welcome to the club of disappointment! At least you have a 2080. I have a 3070 on preorder that I'll hopefully send back if I can either find a 3060ti or 3080 for now I'm on a gtx460. Yup 10yr old card. Still, at least it runs Crysis ok...
