Have kidney, will swap for Gigabyte RTX 3090 Vision

[Franz72]

I already have another 3090 on order, but the more I look at the Gigabyte Vision, the more I think it will just look perfect in the new build. I know I'm mad to think about aesthetic in this market. Anyway, when's the next Gigabyte RTX 3090 Vision drop happening??? I just missed the early Feb one and it's eating me inside. When is the drought ending?!?!?!

 

[Franz72]

is your kidney white? can it do 200FPS?

LOL. Sadly no and no, otherwise I would have already vertically mounted it

 

[Franz72]

I’ll give you one for a kid and a kidney

Which kid would you like? The older or the younger? Would you like me to gift-wrap her?

 

[Franz72]

I wouldn't touch another gigabyte board ever again.

How come? Please do tell.

Had bad experiences with gigabyte over the years.
Starting with a top of the line mobo that gigabyte stopped producing update bios half way through its lifespan and made it eol.
Whilst all other mobo manufacturers continued to support making me unable to upgrade my CPU. And this wasn't their bottom end mobo but their flagship. Still makes my blood boil that does.

Next up was a gfx card Rx 480. Gigabyte G1 which used to overheat like crazy. Until I took it apart and saw that it was assembled by a monkey . **** thermal pasta no right thickness pads etc. So I had to by a new cooler from artic just to keep it going.

At that point I decided no more gigabyte for me. I was done with this company.

But... but... the RTX 3090 Vision looks so beautiful!!!1111!111!1

No trading outside the MM Infact the MM isn't allowing Kidneys as currency at the moment @Space Monkey to confirm.

We moved on and are using kids as currency now. Very volatile market, I tell you.

 

[Franz72]

You've got to be kidneying.

It takes some "digestive system" to say that!

 

[Franz72]

Is the 3090 vision 3 slots on the back of the case?

Think so, from what I read on the interwebs.

 

[Franz72]

But then again I haven't owned anything from gigabyte for a while now so it could have changed.

So, in your experience, what's the most reliable brand?

 

[Franz72]

I think there is swings and roundabouts ever generation. Its not as simple as pick one company and stick with it forever.
But generally i would say
nvidia =
evga is up there, but it looks like their RMA dept is gone from UK. which is not good.
Asus line is up there but they charge extra $$$. Zontac is a no-no due to their blatant encouragement of Mining via their cards through the recent tweet.
Gigabyte high end stuff looks good, their low end has endless problems with power connectors and adaptors. I like MSI but again their quality and bios have been a bit poor recently. never had KFA, or Palit but they look ok if you can get them that is.

Thanks for the tips cumpa', much appreciated. I'll sit tight on the EVGA 3090 FTW3 Ultra. If OC decide to ship it, that's it. Still... the 3090 vision... form over substance... oh man... choices!

Just an FYI - i have a Gigabyte Eagle OC 3090 and have not had a single problem with it. They did have issues with the power connectors in the early revisions (like mine) but they have a huge thread on that and there customer service was outstanding. It also has now been corrected for a while now
As always you will have people with bad experiences and some that haven't had a problem once. Just get whatever you would like!

I concur. The sample size of 1 is too small to draw conclusions. As they say, YMMV for everything, let alone GPUs. What I'd like now, is for the EVGA 3090 TFW3 Ultra I paid for to be delivered. That will, at least, stop me from coveting other cards just because I haven't got mine yet!
