Now that EVGA is gone ?

[Guydodge]

what cards are you considering for the future.personally i have no idea the true power
and quality of their 3090 ultras are showing even now against the new 4090s.im running @ 2100mhz with no O.C effort.and still have allot of headroom.theres nothing i see out there that even compares yet IMO.what do you think ? and where you going from here ?

I'd go with ZOTAC if I was upgrading as I have a GTX 1070 and found it very good.

Where possible I've always went with EVGA, my current build has a 3080 and I've a 3070ti as a just-in-case for backup.

So t'will be a while before I need to upgrade and maybe EVGA will be back for the 7000 or 8000 series or something

I don't think brand names are as important as way back, If you got an Asus Geforce 2 that was top (did anyone see the Hercules Geforce 3 ti 500, Nice!), But these days you're looking at 5% in difference i reckon, There's not a whole lot between them.

A nice brand is nice but keep in mind some cards are good bang for buck.

I joined the red team around 2016 or so, and I don't really plan on looking back. I'm particularly fond of Sapphire's designs like the Nitro+.

I tried out amd hardware for a while now. mainly testing them out and I've come to the conclusion that the low price comes with a few caveats:
- system stability
- software quality control

with my 5600x I had higher input lag in every usb port that wasn't directly connected to the cpu and in some cases those usb ports wouldn't work at all, making me thing that it might be a motherboard or pc case issue which it wasn't since intel shows no problems at all in the same case, using the same branch motherboard brand for b660.

for gpus I tested 6700 xt, 6800 xt and the drivers are terrible. I would experience black screens randomly in desktop mode. sometimes a black screen would occur during alt-tabing and I had to force a restart.

artifacts on both gpus during browsing and content consumption. insane stuttering on both gpus in any game I tried out and it wasn't a shader issue since I gave it a few days before I made up mind.


the only thing I like about amd, is the color profile they offer: vivid for gaming which is imo better than increasing the vibrancy slider in nvidia control panel.

None right now.

i absolutely love my evga rtx3050 xc gaming. i even loved my evga gt1030. once i heard they were done with Nvidia, i boxed them back up, stowed them away for safe keeping, set all my alerts to some used evga variants of pretty much anything 30 series to hopefully add to the collection, and I immediately bought an RX 6700 XT for 300 bucks, my first amd card. I still love EVGA and all of their products, but i paid 350 for my 3050. its not an apples to apples comparison, i know, its a legitimate upgrade, but holy cow... how could it possibly get any better than this? do i even want to collect any more nvidia based cards or DO I WANT EVGA TO MAKE AMD CARDS? i am so high right now

I switched to nvidia because I heard that the have superior drivers and the color ans sharpness is way better compared to AMD.

But from my experience, the driver sucks. It took them months to fix rainbow artifacts in FH5, I get random blue screens on the new drivers. After driver update sometimes the control panel is missing, other times it doesnt detect my other monitors correctly or at all. I have more issues with nvidia after a year than on ATi/AMD after 15years. I'll go back to Sapphire Nitro+ after the new gpu's come out.

It's almost like you didn't DDU your drivers before switching cards.

I have been reading up on this, this year! It's time I bought a new graphics card. I've really been disappointed with "rip-off-nvidia" though, the 4090 is a good improvement over the 3090 but the 4080 is average and can't even start to justify it's 100%+ price increase over the 3080. This, together with the melting power connectors, has put me off buying a new card this time around. It's possible I will get a 7900xtx when I see the reviews. In the mean time I am going to buy a new monitor, which should give me more speed and a much better experience.
Seems to me that EVGA got out at the right time.

Did you know that there is a USB controller between the USBs and the CPU? If you want a more direct connection and better response time, use a PS/2 mouse and keyboard.

Interrupting is also better than polling.

TBH AMD drivers are not flawless too. You often get so many Adrenaline icons in Tray, and that's the least you can get

There's nothing inherently wrong when someone mentions AMD cards because OP had said, "what cards are you considering for the future.", he did not specify that it MUST be about nVidia cards. For me, when I do buy nVidia cards, I usually avoid the big three, that is, MSI, Gigabyte and Asus.

Like the nVidia card I do have right now is a Leadtek GTX 1080 (I don't mind snagging Palit, ZOTAC, etc as long as they're good exclusive AIB partners of nVidia), and the present AMD cards I have is a PowerColor RX VEGA64 Red Devil, and my main right with a Sapphire Nitro+ RX 6900XT.

I tend to stick with exclusive AIB partners, besides, I find the price being asked by the big three can be rather ridiculous. For example, I saw a leaked price list for the upcoming RTX 4080 16GB and Asus is asking for ......... wait for it.......~1550USD for the Strix RTX 4080 (IIRC), that's a freaking 50USD shy of a base RTX 4090! I can stomach a price difference of, say, 150USD, that is, 1350USD for an RTX 4080 IF the Cooler and warranty justifies the price difference, but asking for 350USD over MSRP is a tad.....greedy. Just to prove I ain't talking out of my posterior, here's the link to the Asus card at BB (same price at MC as well):
https://www.bestbuy.com/site/asus-nvidia-geforce-rtx-4080-16gb-gddr6x-pci-express-4-0-strix-graphics-card-black/6525658.p?acampID=0&cmp=RMX&irclickid=UEQ2%3Ai3jKxyNUCITQAzfAU%3AAUkDSvLwB02Zf1U0&irgwc=1&loc=Narrativ&mpid=376373&ref=198&skuId=6525658

My next card would most likely be a Sapphire Nitro+ or PowerColor Red Devil or XFX MERC 319 (whatever the heck it's gonna be called) RX 7900 XTX. No MSI, no Gigabyte, and certainly no Asus for me! I think they make pretty great mobos, myuself using an X570 Aorus Xtreme, but I do think the prices they're asking for their GPUs is a tad much.
