He's going to post in the main 4000 thread around Midday on Weds about what stock he has, cards are still due into OcUK atm.

I like ASUS but their stuff has become bloody expensive which is starting to put me off them.
But the Gigabyte card does look like the business on the cooling front this time around (4 year warranty as well).
*Notice the larger fans on the Gigabyte.
*Nice open backplate, for heat blow through.
*Nicely exposed fin stack.

Do you really think you will last the length of the warranty?

No reason they shouldn't, overall these are probably the best quality built cards yet.
I doubt Gigabyte would offer it if they were not confident.
But it depends as well, as you wouldn't believe the state of some of the PCs I see, some people just don't know what a can of compressed air is used for.

No I meant will you keep the card long enough to find out?No reason they shouldn't, overall these are probably the best quality built cards yet.

It helps with resale value. Lots of folks won't touch a second hand card if there's no warranty remaining.
Likewise, I'll never buy an MSI card again as their customer service and RMA is a joke. They regularly just send people their hardware back without testing it and it costs a ****load to post.

Do some companies offer a transfer of warranty, I thought that wasn't a thing?
Thanks!

4 Years probably not, but with prices the way they are some may opt to keep there card for that long.
I am sticking with my 3090 Ti TUF this time around and skipping Lovelace, and that is primarily to do with prices.
I refuse to pay £1600 up to £2200 less than a year later, no frigging way, NVIDIA can get stuffed lol.
Nope, hopefully I’ll be here in the 5000 series thread where everyone is moaning that nvidia msrp is £2,099.99 and a Strix is £2,999. Warranty is good for reselling.

I thought it was only EVGA that had a transferable warranty?
Gigabyte sent me the wrong card on an RMA years back, a lesser card too but fixed it when I pointed it out at least.
Same card, Same name but 2 versions one with 256bit memory bus and another with only 192bit.
It did make a difference too

Gigabyte need to get rid of all the ugly black plastic IMO - even on their £2300 Aorus Master, the front edge of the card (with the LCD display) just has cheap plastic surrounding it.
The Gigabyte Gaming card should be good for cooling, though also looks really cheap and plastic compared to FE, Strix and even the Zotac AMP, IMO.

I had to RMA a Gigabyte X570 motherboard and found the process "acceptable". Not particularly impresive but fine overall.
Man I’m still torn between the zotac anmp and the msi suprim x. I honestly think these are all going to sell out in mins, so if I go for an FE I might miss one of these.
I’ve heard mixed things about both, from zotac can often have coilwine to msi isn’t great to deal with.
Ahhh man, just over 24 hours to decide lol.

I’m not sure either between the two. Zotac has a better warranty but looks awful. The MSI design is largely unchanged from the 3090ti and had good reviews.
FE has been described as "limited" in Nvidia's own videos on youtube. We don't know stock levels yet, though they could be gone within minutes and not replenished for weeks if ever.
I'm most likely going to just order the card I want from OCUK and wait for it to arrive, even if it means I don't get a card on launch day. Not in as much as a rush as with the 3000 series, when I really needed a hdmi 2.1 card for my CX48 OLED.
