June 16, 201510 yr Hi guys, I'm planning to buy a Nvidia 980Ti and was wondering which is a better brand in terms of quality and design of card as well as the output? Your feedback is much appreciated . Regards Dushantha Baduge
June 16, 201510 yr I'd vote for EVGA based on the warranty they offer. My computer: ABS Gladiator Gaming PC featuring an Intel 10700F CPU, EVGA CLC-240 AIO cooler (dead fans replaced with Noctua fans), Asus Tuf Gaming B460M Plus motherboard, 16GB DDR4-3000 RAM, 1 TB NVMe SSD, EVGA RTX3070 FTW3 video card, dead EVGA 750 watt power supply replaced with Antec 900 watt PSU.
June 16, 201510 yr Asus and EVGA BOTH offer 3 year warranties, however there is a free upgrade available for certain new EVGA cards to extend it for another 2 years. Lifetime warranties are only available on certain EVGA products none of which are the 970,980 and Titans. Either way, they are both great manufacturers. i7-13700KF, 32gb DDR4 3200, RTX 4080, Win 11, MSFS 2024
June 16, 201510 yr I'll throw in the EVGA vote. The trade up program is great, and the boost clocks are usually a little higher out of the box. Asus for mobo, EVGA for graphics, for me, anyway. <p>Dassault Falcon, Lear, Embraer and Challenger and Cessna Mechanic.Broadcasting live from former Soviet Missile Silo.Rhys Legge
June 16, 201510 yr Some of the EVGA cards have higher speeds than other options and some have less. Speeds out of the box mean little as it's so simple to bump them up yourself. It's a simple marketing ploy to nickel and dime buyers. i7-13700KF, 32gb DDR4 3200, RTX 4080, Win 11, MSFS 2024
June 16, 201510 yr My last 5 or 6 cards have been EVGA. I've never had a problem. As stated above, they have an upgrade program for certain cards. I don't believe it is free though.

June 17, 201510 yr Rock solid return policy - life time - cant beat that Hey Rich. I'm thinking of upgrading my GTX660. I'm running an i7 2700k, probably won't upgrade for a while but some advice on what to upgrade the GPU to? Using FSX DX9, everything runs pretty good now however wouldn't mind trying to lock down a steady 30FPS if possible.
June 17, 201510 yr There is no beating EVGA in terms of customer service, providing you register your new card as they ask. I can attest from personal gcard RMA service that it realistically can't get any better. Though for non-reference gcard design I prefer MSI, of which my last two gcard purchases have been. CPU: AMD 9800X3D PBO MB +200 CO -25| Motherboard: MSI MAG X870e Tomahawk WiFi | GPU: MSI RTX 5090 Ventus 3X OC | RAM: G.Skill 2x32GB DDR5 6000 cas 30 | M.2 SSDs: Samsung 990 EVO Plus 2T, WD Black SN750 M.2 1T | Hard Drive: WD Black HDD 6T 7200 | Optical Drive: LG Bluray writer, internal | Cooling: Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 EVO | Case: Fractal Design Focus G | PSU: NZXT C1200 1200W Win 11 Pro 64|HP Reverb G2 revised VR HMD|Asus 25" IPS 2K 60Hz monitor|Saitek X52 Pro & Peddles|TIR 5 (now retired)
June 17, 201510 yr Just because nobody voted for Asus, I'd like to note that my last three video cards have been Asus cards and all have worked well. Currently running a GTX770. Solid performer. Bert

Using FSX DX9, everything runs pretty good now however wouldn't mind trying to lock down a steady 30FPS if possible. Jas for the money I would go with 980ti - if you sli that would be the most economical as I have stated I didnt notice a huge difference between titan and titan x Rich Sennett
June 17, 201510 yr I don't believe it is free though. It's free, as long as you register for it in the first 14 days. <p>Dassault Falcon, Lear, Embraer and Challenger and Cessna Mechanic.Broadcasting live from former Soviet Missile Silo.Rhys Legge
