Are PNY gfx cards any good?

[Domo]

OC don't stock them but has anyone got any experience with these? Looking specifically at the 8800GTS. Usually go for HIS or Asus myself but seen one of these for a v. low price. I won't be stating where of course.

Cheers,

They're probably just nvidia reference boards like most others. Probably not as much warranty as BFG or eVGA though.

They're not too bad, mostly reference design cards afaik. They're sold in droves by the famous purple competitor, as one of thier primary suppliers of Nvidia cards, so I'd say if its a good price, go with it, they're a solid reliable firm like most of the others, they can just tend to be a little pricey sometimes.

Thanks guys.

Yeah not to bad at all those, will just be the same as any other GTS/GTX as they are all made in the same factory, so only differences will be warranty, software you get, and if they pre-clock em or not, and stick their own logo's on the HSF's.

ive got 2 pny geforce 4 cards lying around and they worked very well when they were getting used

in the past (geforce 5 + 6) there was a lot of bad reviews of PNY graphics cards dying :/

ah that reminds me my pny geforce4 mx440 still works and my dads geforce 4 ti packed in he got it replaced by the purple brigade with no problems and the second card is still working "at time of pulling it out of pc"

on another note if any one ever encounters a xpert vision graphics card their decent had a geforce 5900xt one and it went to 450/780 on the stock cooler and stable while stock was 390/700

think its a pny 6800gt i've got atm, got no complaints about it - it's running at std right now, but i have had some good clocks out of it when it was clocked.
