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

KFA² (aka Galax, aka Galaxy before they got sued) and MSI here for the most part.
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!
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
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.
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.

Still using my Nvidia GeForce 970 GTX, still able to play games like Cyberpunk but is creaking somewhat! I am now thinking its time I built myself a new pc!
