Considering Sub-MSRP brands

[williamcll]

I've been looking at lesser brands like Palit, Inno3D and Galax (with considerations for Zotac and MSI which is AT MSRP), do they give just as good performance in contrast to other brands or are they servely lacking?

 

For reference I am looking for 2080 /2080TI cards.

EVGA has a 2080 Ti, for $999, making it the cheapest 2080 ti available afaik

 

The only real difference is the cooler and the non binned 300 instead of 300a chip found on other cards. 

 

But as far as it performs. it's identical to a 2080 ti reference edition with slightly better bios/cooling.

 

The non binned 300 chip may make a difference under water, but if you only plan on watercooling it performs just as well as the most expensive cards without power/shunt mods.

I cannot find an EVGA at that price. And as for binning, does it mean it is getting the better one or worse?

The  300 (NON-A) chip found in reference cards just means that it isn't rated for a factory OC.

 

This is what i have and it performs on par or better depending if i OC or not to most benchmarks.

Today I was introduced to a brand called Manli which sells their RTX 2080 Ti at an even cheaper price, about 100$ cheaper than the EVGA model at roughly 1060USD. Anyone here know about this brand?

Manli, Palit, Galax, Inno3D, are common in Asian market region since long time. Even I still can find many used Manli GTX 750 Ti being sold in my country.

 

If I have to choose between them, This is my priority order: Galax, Palit, Manli, Inno3D
