Is gigabyte a bad manufacturer?

[ViruZ_HUN]

My friend keep telling me that Gigabyte make bad products. He says that gigabyte GPU have driver problems and much more.

 

 

is that true?

 

Gigabyte have good prives thats why i want to buy it!

[ExDreamer]

Gigabyte offer good products.So nothing to worry about.

[Xelithium]

Gigabyte GPU driver problems? What? Gigabyte doesn't make any GPU drivers.

[M-ursu]

Gigabytes drivers?

nVidia made one bad driver and that is all.

And any GPU maker had this driver.

So it was not only for gigabyte cards.

[JamesDwho]

nothing wrong at all with Gigabyte, I've been using their motherboards and video cards for years

gigabyte GPU has driver problems ahhahaha i need to print screen this xD

[DrunkAssassin]

gigabyte is a good manufacturer i have one of their boards right now the only problem is their ugly blue PCB

No i mean is the Gigabyte prodocts problem free?.

Do not troll him he is just new in tech.

But my friend told that to me and i want to make sure if its true or not?

Is a GTX 770 4 gb better then GTX 780?

Your friend obviously doesn't have a clue what he's talking about, like Xelithium said above, Gigabyte doesn't make GPU drivers. What gigabyte does do for the GPUs it makes custom PCB's (those are GPU boards, the chips are the same), and custom coolers.

 

Now regarding the coolers, I've had 2 Gigabyte cards, and on both the coolers were less than ok, on an old 4850 the reference cooler started to melt and deform on some parts over voltage control modules, and on a 6850 one of the fans stopped working.

 

So as far as my experience goes, Gigabyte makes bad video cards, altough I might be a rare case, and I've only owned 2 of Gigabyte's GPUs.

there is absolutely nothing wrong with gigabyte they're one of the best component manufactures

-It isn't, it's cheaper, and brings better price/performance ratio though (you get more bang for your buck).

So gigabyte makes bad video cards-.- well someone say they make good and some say they make bad video cards. What shoud i believe?

I still have a functioning Gigabyte 9800GTX in my second rig. i think that should tell something about gigabyte graphics card quality.

'Is Gigabyte a bad manufacturer'

 

No, not at all, they've had some things die but then again so has every manufacturer, if I'm not mistaken I think MSI has a fractionally higher failure rate (still low though) compared to Gigabyte though I could be wrong, I'm sure I was reading it somewhere.

 

On the drivers they are from NVIDIA though you can download them from the different graphics card manufacturers.

no

Is a GTX 770 4 gb better then GTX 780?

No.

Only if you are running 3x 4k monitors in surround.

And still it might be slower.

i have two dead 9800GTXs but thats because i was using them hard since i bought them

and its not their fault they dont make the chips

I guess I approached your problem form a wrong angle, to simplify:

 

-I've had bad experiences with Gigabyte's GPU

-That doesn't mean they're a bad manufacrurer, not at all, especially when it comes to motherboards

-Would I recommend a Gigabyte product to a friend in a dillemma? -Yes I would, and did on multiple occasions, none complained.

Do not troll him he is just new in tech.

reminds me when i was young :)

but i never asked questions

just read a  LOT for a year :) good times 2007

They do make custom PCB's, so yes, they make the chips too. But not all of them, just the custom ones. Correct me if I'm wrong please.

 

:EDIT: I didn't read your post thouroghly and I apologise, Gigabyte DOES NOT make the chips. To make things worse, I've said the same thing a few posts above O_o

Also i didn't have anywhere to ask so i had to read a lot.

Now i know anything! :) B)
