Gigabyte vs MSI

[Hinder]

Hey guys!

 

In the idea of building a new PC, what would you recommend as in with a better reliability, performance and warranty between the following (they are having around the same price) :

 

GIGABYTE Z590 AORUS MASTER + GIGABYTE RTX 3080 AORUS XTREME (plus AORUS COOLER)

OR

MSI Z590 ACE + MSI RTX 3080 SUPRIM X (plus MSI COOLER)

 

Thank you!

I've used both MSI and Gigabyte products, never really saw a quality difference. MSI have been highly unethical as of late, so there's that if you want to take it into consideration.

Gigabyte has some of the best mobo VRM’s right now, especially for the money. They get the nod for mobo 100%. GPU, honestly all about the same. I always go EVGA personally as they have won my brand loyalty with their outstanding customer support over the 15+ years of buying their hardware. But either would be fine. MSI has been a bit unethical lately, and gigabyte wins the mobo VRM, so if you wanted all parts to be from one manufacturer (which they don’t need to be...) I’d go gigabyte.

The whole unethical thing is stupid. It came from a video by GamersNexus, which is run by an idiot who barely knows what a BIOS is.

What..? Lol. It didn’t “come” from him. He just spread the word. It affected gamers unboxed or something? I forget their channel name.

 

Also, Gamers Nexus is one of the most technical channels out there, so, “barely knows what a BIOS is” doesn’t make much sense - your either trolling or you don’t watch their content. They are hands down one of the better channels for technical info that is also marketed to a wide audience. Yes, folks like buildzoid or Roman are “more in-depth and more technical”, but those channels are more targeted at very specific hardware and overclocking.

I'm a huge gigabyte fan, MSI products have less cosmetic features like m.2 sheild at lower prices but at your price range theyre pretty much the same...depends where you want your lights.

I love GN, but they're too hung up about ram timings and stuff,  and they do *not* explain it well. 

 

I've seen some benchmarks where ram tuning alone would be good for 20 fps, which often sounds like bs to me. Like even if it's actually true,  he does not explain it well and therfore it comes off as made up,  and a couple of graphs alone aren't exactly convincing in my opinion. 

 

Also he seems often quite biased,  again I really like him but more for entertainment factor than actual info.
