How are they for a manufacturer of graphics cards? Was thinking of getting a new card, and these guys do the cheapest version (which leads me to ask questions...).
 
They're all the same, made by nVidia with a different sticker/bundle. They all use the same reference design, I've ordered one and had one of their cards before in an odler system, it was fine :)
 
Ive got an Inno3D 8800 GTS for real cheap and its great, came well packaged, 2 years warranty and a free game. Fortunatly have yet to test there RMA support
 
I'm gonna join the "got an 8800GTS and it's running fine" club, it runs perfectly, clocks well, and well, just very satisfied with them :D

Besides, they're all the same chip, however much EVGA and others want to claim otherwise, and warranty only really matters to me for a short while, it just needs to be long enough for me to be able to sell the card.
 
So is warranty and various overclocking (on some cards) all that differs these companies? Cause the prices range quite a lot...

Warranty, clock speeds and bundle.

The cards are all identical, all use the same cooler and components.

Oddly it can be better to buy a cheap card from a company that doesn't make overclocked versions rather than BFG or EVGA as those companies will cream off all the best cards into the overclocked versions.

That's right... all standard designs with different stickers and warranties!

My GF's PC uses an Inno3D 7800gt. It's a great card. Plus the 2 year warranty pretty much covers the lifetime (in terms of £ value) of a graphics card these days!

In the case of my 7800gt it's still within its 2 year warranty but is only worth around £40. :( :D

Ignore the brande name, all 88xx cards are made on the same production lines. Inno3d are just as good as anyone else.

I have ordered Inno3d 8800GT, plus a Zotac AMP edition (cocked at 700/2000). I will keep the one that's shipped first and cancel the other.

Warranty really :) Unless you can stand there when they test the cards and make sure they give you the best chip they've made all year, it doesn't matter which brand you choose, and yes EVGA and other high-end manufacturers will take their best chips for their own OC versions.
 
I've had a couple of Inno3D cards over the years, never had any problems with them. They always seem to be priced competitively:)
 
Had a Inno3D 8800GTS 640mb card a while ago and it was great.

No problems at all with it. :)


edit---------

Or was it a GTX, Ive forgotten ive had so many graphics cards. :(
 
Just ordered an 8800GT, place had five left which was lucky. Delivery tomorrow all going well. Would have ordered from OcUK, but the unknown wait was too much.

First new card in about 3 years i think. :) ...or whenever the x800xl was released.
