Buying a GTX Titan, need recommendations on brand

[phytoplankton73]

Hi I'm building a new PC for the first time in a 4 years, so I haven't been keeping up on how the brands are doing quality wise. Is there any difference in quality, support or software tools I should note?

Right now these brands are available to me here in Denmark

eVGA
Zotac
ASUS
Gainward
Gigabyte

Any opinions on which one is better or should I just go for the slightly less expensive model (currently Gigabyte)?

EVGA are the best IMO followed by Gigabyte. But it just comes down to warranty as the Titans are all reference so all the partners do is put their stickers on it and box it up.

The cheapest mate.

They are all reference design and non screened chips. Any one will do. They are all the same.

Down to warranty and Rma then, so EVGA or Gigabyte(UK Rma).

Ah hold on, see you are from Denmark, dont know about Rma then.

Damn you guys are fast... Get a life

Thanks for the replies. I'll probably go eVGA for the extra service options.

Gigabyte first as UK RMA then EVGA as its Germany RMA.

But really which ever is cheapest

Thanks, I speak German and Denmark borders on Germany, so shipping is cheaper. They're not that widespread in pricing and Gigabyte and eVGA where some of the less expensive one

Oh btw, superclocked versions? Is it me or are they rather pointless? Can't I just overclock it myself?

It is the same card with a different BIOS. You can flash the SC BIOS on any of the Titans and get the same effect for less money.

I've thought about doing that - but chickened out as I'm too feart about borking my cards.

I have used it, as well as several big clocked BIOS's but the difference doesn't even notice in games. I flashed the original BIOS back on (better to be safe) and I wouldn't have a clue what the difference is.

They are so fast already, no need to bother IMO.
