I'm using Galax also, good brand. Reliable so far.

Imma get MSI to matchy matchy with my motherboard when the price drops further or might as well wait for next gen

Its a good sign that we can now choose the brands we want . Haha give it a year ago Zotac, Colorful, what tac also makan only.. asalkan the price is near retail haha.

Nvidia is allegedly investing a lot of money into the RTX 4000 series' manufacturing to avoid the problems it faced with RTX 3000 GPUs.

As reported by Hardware Times, Nvidia is paying chip foundry TSMC about $10 billion to ensure it has reserved enough capacity to meet demand. Whether that eye-watering sum is enough to ensure a steady supply is another matter though.

The Nvidia RTX 4000 cards are apparently using new Nvidia Lovelace architecture built on a smaller 5nm process, down from the 8nm process used to make the current Ampere-powered cards. Decreasing the process size allows increased and more efficient performance into the same sized chip, so we could see a particularly big performance jump between the current and upcoming RTX cards.

Ada Lovelace won't come cheap. It uses bigger chip. It will be more expensive.

Yeah if they can normalize the supply and all, maybe getting a 3070 at launch price isn't a bad idea at all. Sometimes we don't need the latest ones. 1080p gaming is still very nice.

Go for Galax. Avoid Zotac. Some of the rest on this list is fine too.

If you can hold on longer, GPU price could drop some more.

Agree. Zotac twin edge design is crap. Noisy fan and weak temp design.
Been there, get other brand with similar price tag.

Fan stop saves the wear and tear of the fan. Its better to have it.

i prefer zotac 5 years warranty. If worried about fan, additional warranty is best. fan issue by luck one. Some with stop fans also spoil in few months.
