Hell everyone I was wondering if anyone had experience with any Gainward graphics cards?

 

Specifically im looking to buy their Phoenix Gtx 1080 GS gpu, because its the cheapest gtx 1080 in Australia right now at $1069.

They aren't available in NA but EU speaks pretty highly of them.

Palit owns Gainward, they're both good.

 

I know the Palit 1070's and 1080's are the quietest ones on the market due to their larger coolers that take up more slots and quiet fans.

Gainward is probably pretty quiet too, though the fan design is different.

 

This is all I know about them.

The Gainward GTX 1080 Phoenix is a pretty solid card in itself to be honest. If it's the cheapest, I'd shoot for it.

'Fanboyism is stupid' - someone on this forum.

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

Same here it's difficult to get good value PC parts in Australia, I tried Newegg and postage cost more that the graphics card, no help from amazon too. I Got my parts from a small company; MSY.
