Hello,

 

I've already made a Build Help Thread here. But I am looking to have some advice over which Manufacturer is best in terms of Quality Build, Support and Warranty International?

 

I live in India.

 

Thanks!

I like in India.

 

 

Then you should get something manufactured in India. (Seriously though, you mean that you live in india?)

 

From all of the companies listed above, all are reliable. Depending on which you like better, EVGA for their clean look, MSI for striking look + Red/black color scheme, Gigabyte for good cooling, ASUS (used to be good with Direct CUII) If you want striky owl eyes.

I am sorry for the typo. I have corrected it.

Actually I am sure about the availability of the Giga, MSI and Asus. But as I checked from E-commerce websites for India, None of them is having EVGA's stock in terms of GPU.

 

Also, I doubt if locals are also selling it. But if you know or have any idea that EVGA is available there let me know? :)

I'm not concerned about the looks. I am concerned about the services, quality and availability. I would go with EVGA if that is available in the local stores as I have mentioned in my build thread. But EVGA's Quality is good and long life?

EVGA - best customer support. ACX cooling. Nice clean build.

MSI - sexy red/black card. Great cooling. 0 db fan technology.

Gigabyte - G1 binned chips for OC. Great cooling.

Asus - shitty power delivery. Also 0 db fan technology.

Just get what ever is cheapest, and fits your color scheme if you have one. If not, if you want to OC go with Gigabyte. At stock speeds, anything should be fine. Only +-1 Fps difference in games most of the time.

Okay all, I am going to look for the EVGA in the local shops and get the pricing. But the guy here shared a PCTracker Link which shows 50$ discount on 980 GTX it's newegg. It's not working. Also, Shipping of Newegg is really high. So that discount is particularly is from Newegg or if it's internationally discount available to local shop also?

Evga out sources their manufacturing. They only design the cards and have a third party manufacturer build it for them. But their customer support is great. Asus designs and builds their own cards.

Why there is so much price difference between the manufacturers?

For me in local shops it's like range from 50$ to 150$ for the same model but different manufacturer.
