Graphics Cards Brands

Go to solution Solved by CoolBeans,

1. Depends on clock speed, otherwise no

2. MSI, Gigabyte, Asus, EVGA, Sapphire

Hello LTT Community! 

 

Good day!!

 

 

I would just like to ask the following:

 

1. Would the Brand of a certain GPU affect it's performance?

 

2. What GPU Brands do you recommend which will not be that costy?

 

Thanks LTT Community!! :)

first off what particular graphics card are you talking about?

1, yes, but only to the clock speed difference, which is negatable through overclocking

 

2. depending on where wou are from, ASUS, Gigabyte, MSI, EVGA, Zotac, Gainward, PNY, Galaxy, pretty much everyone actually since NV and AMD have some standards in place that the makers need to stick to

The brand doesn't matter, the clockspeeds do.

I've got an EVGA GPU myself but any brand with decent build quality and cooling would be fine for me.

In general. will brands make a difference?

 

Are you asking the difference between AMD and Nvidia? Or are you asking the a difference between say EVGA, Asus, MSI, etc?

No not AMD or NVida but the brands like Asus

you will generally see little to no difference between the brand like MSI, Asus, Sapphire, gigabyte, XFX etc... some have better cooling designs but it will only affect performance marginally, you want to look at core clocks, core count, and memory capacity and memory clocks.

Some brands will make their own PCB for let's say a GTX 780. The non-reference PCB's are usually quite better than the stock one from AMD/Nvidia. The main feature usually being better power delivery components.

 

Some brands make better coolers. Some people such as XFX, Powercolor, Sapphire, and a few others that I can't think of right now don't exactly make the best coolers, which is why I would stay away from them. If you can, get something from Asus, Gigabyte, EVGA (Nvidia only), or MSI

 

I had two XFX R9 270X's for mining, and those things at 100% fan speed got to 75c easily. Then, I switched to MSI R9 270X's, stayed at 55c with something like 50-60% fan speed.

Thanks for suggestions! but I think MSI and ASUS are very expensive atleast here in my Country

Thanks for suggesting but I heard Gainward is not that long lasting

I myself have gainward in most of my builds, and not ever has anyone complained over it. and their coolers do a great job :)

Okay thanks for the feedback about Gainward, I might put them into consideration in my upcoming build :D

yeah they are awesome :)
