interesting, i always thought zotac ia better than gigabyte, because when i watch youtube, i havent see anyone benchmark with gigabyte gpu.

Not really, because the people may think that's the amount of memory on the GPU, but their hardware will probably function quite well. I've never had any serious technical difficulties with that brand.

Those benchmarks could be sponsored, maybe that's why you see them often on YouTube, for the purpose of creating brand awareness. Gigabyte have been around for over a decade, so they may not need that.

When you see Aorus, that's Gigabyte. They're included in plenty of reviews.

Haven't tried their GPUs, but their motherboards especially for the AORUS line are really good.
Safe to say an AORUS or otherwise regular lineup of Gigabyte units should be fine.

EVGA, Gigabyte, NVIDIA (actual nvidia branded gpus) in that order for who I'd use for GPUs.

They're good for NVIDIA but iffy for AMD. These days it's better to go NVIDIA because of the new cooler design, or EVGA.

For AMD, Sapphire.

thats nice to hear, cause i can save up extra money from buying the gigabyte one and buy a wireless controller.

Asus is also a decent brand to consider, although their lineup can be slightly more expensive than other brands.

I mentioned it wrong, i meant gigabyte not msi

Be careful with their cheaper cards. I've seen a few issues with their latest Vision and Eagle models with RTX 30 series.

What do you think of their "Gaming OC" cards? I've been considering buying one of them. I assume they are Gigabyte's mid-range cards, being more expensive than Eagle but cheaper than Aorus.

You should never go for the most expensive models when buying a midrange card imo

You have to look at individual models and reviews. There is no point talking about brands because quality changes with each model and price range.

reputation means nothing in pc components or gaming for that matter.the industry and
those who buy,review,play and sell are by large bias.was a huge ASUS fan for years
partly due to reputation started breaking away from said brand and have found
better products off the main stream.be it fans,M.B,AIO and viveo cards.EVGA cards
have owned 5 over the years just bought a ZOTAC and it holds par with all the EVGA
ive had w/a better warranty.

they all pretty much give the same performance if all things are equal warranty and price
are pretty much main factors when choosing.

Gaming OC has been decent.
