Galax is good, just not as popular in NA where major players like ASUS and MSI have more control and reputation.

More control and marketing indeed, as their reputation as GPU manufacturers is questionable. I'd say EVGA and Inno3D have reputation in NA.

Definitely not a name that pops up enough on this forum. I'm actually surprised someone mentions it now.

Some of you may know Galaxy(now Galax) as KFA2 previously.

The GPU chip itself will always be designed and manufactured by NVIDIA or AMD themselves anyway. Unless you're looking to OC the whole thing to the extreme thus requiring an improved PCB design and other secondary controllers, these lesser brands are more than enough for most gaming requirements.

Think about it, AMD nor NVIDIA wouldn't have partnered with these companies if they can't meet all the international recognized manufacturing standards in the first place. You think some random guy with a workbench and soldering gun in his garage can just give Jensen a call for a few TU102 chips and tell the world that he's got 2080Ti ready for sale a week later?

I deal with a lot of old hardware, and of all graphics cards that still perfectly work after many years Inno3D on green side and Sapphire on red side appear more than any other brands. I would especially advice against ASUS and MSI when it comes to cards, and I always do, as those companies spend way more money on placing as many "Gaming" on their products than on actual products. Also I absolutely do love Inno3D iChill series, those indeed are something to check out if one wants their card to last long.

nvidia makes the chip, the gpu mfg makes the pcb, cooler, fans

10xx and later gpus are very flexable on performance, depending on power delivery and cooling

with gigabyte, msi, asus you are paying a little more for the name and advertising
galax, gainward, inno are cheaper but can perform as good

but r the build quality is on par with them and will also last as long as the others if taken care of properly ha
