EVGA for its customer service and quality. MSI to be all "cool", ASUS for just overall quality. 

Gigabyte and Zotac I'd say are still fine, but not as good as EVGA, ASUS, or MSI.

 

 

MSI trio is amazing

EVGA FTW3 is amazing 

ASUS Strix is amazing

^^^^

 

EVGA is my all time favorite card maker, I have a bunch of their GPUs (am totally not planning on collecting more just because I'm obsessed with them...) and they're amazing, have had 0 problems with them. My MSI 980 Ti has been bueno as well, and everything I've heard about ASUS is good (and my multiple mobos from them are awesome). 

 

It basically goes EVGA, ASUS, then MSI. Next up would probably be Zotac, I've heard a lot of good things about them. Galax and Palit cards are nice too IIRC, as are Gigabyte but IMO they stuff too much crappy plastic on their cards and I'm not a big fan of them.

Yee, AFAIK they've gone all super G@M3Rz LyFe like MSI, but skimped even more on the quality. Apparently their high end AMD and Intel boards are nice though, but I don't like the GPUs very much. ASUS is probs the best example of super gamer styled products that aren't totally in your face and are also supremely high quality. Speaking of which, gotta go home and unpack my sooper sexy Crosshair VII...

Depends on the actual card itself. I’ve had a few of each. My pny oc’d The best and had the lowest temps. My evga sc’s look better and overall perform better than my strix. Prefer an fe from any company as only the o/i bracket is the only thing that really changes.
