RTX 4090 Brands: Which to Buy? MSI Gigabyte Zotac Nvidia FE & Asus Ranked - Beginners Guide to RTX

I bought the gainward phantom GS. 400€ less than the TUF & Co for the same power.

You forgot EVGA they are big in the US and very good.

Asus the worst and everyone thinks they're a premium PC components brand.

PNY?

get a better mic dude

Imo pick up the PNY very underrated brand and you can save some money for other things and get same peformance. PNY has 5 years like Zotac by the way so the longest next to Zotac

Is this a joke?

Emmmmm…

1. Obviously you’re going to see more complaints with Asus on Reddit than MSI because Asus has over 2 times more members….

2. What is the methodology you use for durability rank? How did you able to come up with 1 FE cars return in 5 years… but no matter what methodology you use…. Its most likely to be inaccurate anyways because there’s no way you can really compare the durability if each cars fairly.

3. Asus definitely have more than 4 products. There’s 4090 strix, 4090 strix OC, 4090 Tuf and 4090 Tuf OC so that’s 4 already for 4090 not counting 4080 which should have at least 2-4 more products.

And there’s no way MSI have 18… I mean, Its only 2 GPU! 4090 and 4080. Even if they did really able to launched that many, I don’t see it as a positive thing that a manufacturer is able to milked 18 products from just 2 GPU… its basically 18 versions of 2 very similar products. Its almost trying to confused and scammed their own customer!

Went with the 3 year MSI Trio

Avoid gigabyte...has too many cards vram problems. They really cheap out on core components like vram and had worst experience with 3060ti gaming oc.
Brought zotac trignity 4080...wanted to buy ventus 4080 but idk shape of zotac trignity attracted me more.....avoid gigabyte eagle oc have cheap vram's.

Meh just picked up an asus 4090 strix oc, the best one. The 4090 is an enthusiast card so we really don’t care about the warranty. 99% of the people who are buying the 4090 are going to upgrade in 2 years when 5000 series comes and so on and so on. Me personally never had to use a warranty because I build a completely new system featuring the best of the best each generation.

Ive bought the 4090 msi x trio pretty happy until now no issues amazing temps and fps.. nice review 👌

I disagree with this on so many levels. Cheer :)

Before, it was easy, EVGA was the way to go... Now, I'm so lost... Thanks for this video!

I agree. I own a pre-built with a rtx3070 dual and a ryzen 5 5600x. The pre-built on its own from the outside looks great with RGB Lighting and a carrying handle on top and a little notch that flips down to carry a headset but the cooling inside is horrible. The cooling for the CPU is a cooler from the early 2000s or a school/Dell PC.The case is extra slim so you cannot modify it with the proper cooler or a water cooling system either since you cannot fit a 120 mm fan. I ran it without the side panel.
I got it RMA twice because it's artifacting. the first time I sent it I had to spend $100 to ship it to them and when they got it they sent it back saying they replaced the CPU and motherboard. Then I used it again and saw it's still artifacting and now they paid for the return shipping and I'm waiting for it.

what even is this?

i upgraded from my 2014 build z97 pro with 4790k and asus stx 1080ti to and x670e-e mb with razen 7 7700x and pny rtx 4080 oc and love my new pc

Not a lot of info in this video, what about PCB design, parts quality, power stages, thermal contact, cooling design? Literally none of the real info you will need to make a decision

jcngawafmfjc

Albeit a bit of an odd question, what sort of microphone/setup do you use? it sounds really crisp!

is the KFA2 4090 OC a bad choice? :)

PCSpecialists included a Gainward Phantom 4090 in my PC, I didn't have a choice to specify a brand at the time of order. However I have to say I'm very impressed. It runs very cool and performs exceptionally well. I think it compares very well against more expensive cards like the Asus Strix and MSI SuprimX. Maybe this card doesn't look as flashy as some of the more expensive cards (I paid around £1650 ) but I'm very happy with there choice and I do think Gainwood deserve more credit than they are getting, I.e. not being included here for starters.

Finally, the video I need as I stare at shelves of 4090's, overwhelmed with choice

I have al;ways bought MSI Gaming X Trio cards. Is Zotac better?

My zotac 3090 started overheating so I tried to RMA it. Guy from zotac said they don't RMA for overheating and told me to repaste it. I asked about voiding warranty his reply was that they don't open up returned cards so they wouldn't know. But officially yes it voids it but unofficially they don't check. I repasted it and all was fixed

First time having a Gigabyte Card with the Gigabyte OC 4090. I would usually go for EVGA, but the Gigabyte seems to be a really good card. 4 year warranty, barley gets to 60c in most games, and runs like a monster. No complaints here.

Your US Warranties are off. I know for sure MSI is 3. Zotac is only 2 years and 3 years if you register.

Thanks. Glad to know I went with a good one this time around. Got the MSI. See y'all again when the 5000 come out

My MSI says 3 years, US here. Bought from Best Buy.

CHALLENGE TO ALL PC FANBOYS!!!
LMAO! PC gamers getting scammed. They spend thousands just for bragging rights, so they can brag about all the specs of their giant car sized GPU. When it offers NOTHING I need for gaming that my Series X cannot give me.

MY CHALLENGE...
Name ONE THING a 4090 offers, that I NEED for gaming, that an Xbox Series X cannot give me.

Is no one questioning the beginning when he labeled the rtx as "gamers and creaters" and gtx cards as entry-level gaming. I guess you could say that for the 20 series, but the last best gtx card, gtx 1080 ti, is still better or similar than some of the rtx cards like the rtx 3060 and rtx 2070

Please do this for AMD cards.

I have religiously bought ASUS GPUs for years... my 3080 was the tuf gaming variant. This time round I bought a gigabyte 4090 oc edition as it was the only one available in my area. So far I believe it to be as good if not better than my old ASUS cards. The RGB is much more customizable, and the performance well... It overclocks like a beast. The windforce 3X is truly a great setup. Every other manufacturer has transitioned to this three fan design over the years so... SO far so good.

i would wait for rtx 4080 and save some cash

Sadly no white version this gen

And the answer to that is, the one you can get your hands on.

None of them...

I can hear you licking your god damn lips.

A few more areas you might cover: 1. Price range when prices stabilize within each manufacturer's models. 2: Dimensions of the cards. 3: Number of slots needed. 4: Number of power connectors and type, pin count. 5: If video card support is included. 6: Cable wires that are included.

In the US, MSI covers GPUs for 3 years from the date purchased if you have an invoice, and 3 years from the date of manufacture without a warranty.

The most attractive the FE has ever been

Evga doesn’t make graphics cards anymore get ur info straight ma guy

Thanks. Was considering ASUS but I will not deal with companies that don't respect warranties. FE it is. Just saved several hundred as well.

The Zotac warranty also existed with the 1080 GPUs. My GTX 1080 warranty was also after registration 5 years. Really awesome.

Evga hands down.

Grabbed the Asus Tuf slightly more expensive but seems like an overbuild card. think it will do great.

i went msi gaming x trio

I have had so much bad experience with MSI that I will never buy anything from them again.
