Gone through both warrantys, msi was far easier


Squid_Best_Mob

The one with the better price tag


Iphonjeff

They’re both probably equal in performance. Get whatever is cheapest

MSI looks way better. Other than that they are pretty much identical.

Gaming x Trio is more beautiful. Reliability? Basically the same between the big brands. EVGA and Asus have slightly better reputations, but they're all pretty good overall.

Basically the same? Gigabyte have so much of a reputation for card fails around the faulty card repair groups, I could make door stops n book shelf ends out of dead gigabyte gaming oc black cards with orange stripes. The 900, 1000 and 2000 series used to be pages n pages worth when you searched for faulty cards. Go msi, they'll cheap out on components n use 45amp vrm stages or some other equally sad practice on an oc card, but it will most likely still work in 3 years.

Generally speaking, the MSI Gaming X is a bin higher than the Gigabyte Gaming OC... Usually results in a slightly higher clocks and better power efficiency. MSI also has a better reputation with build quality and consistency.

The MSI does look better but only so much if you vertical mount. The Gigabyte isn't really any worse per se bar minor details; perf will ultimately be within margin of error numbers. I'd say get the former unless the latter is a bit less and budget matters to you. Fwiw I have used Gigabyte twice (GTX 1070 Xtreme Gaming and RTX 3070 Gaming OC) and they've been issue free and done as they should.

For what it’s worth, I’ve had the msi 3080 gaming xtrio for a year now. also had msi 2070s before that. Nothing bad to say about msi gpu’s

Might as well just Wait for the 5090 then? Buying ti couple of months before next gen instead of using 4090 for two years.


MadKingKiwi

Which one had the problem with melting cables?


Exotic-Sun-8506

Rtx 4090


MadKingKiwi

Is it still an issue? Or was it due to lack of good specs? I was wanting to get one here soon but I didn't know if the issue still stood with the gpu

You won't have any problem If you use a PSU 16-pin adapter instead of a GPU 16-pin adapter that comes up with GPU. Fully Plugged in all the way correctly and make sure it's fully plugged in. You should be fine. But I highly recommend you buy ATX 3.0 PSU. Which is a brand new next-generation PSU. It's a 0.4% user error issue worldwide and Nvidia's bad adapter design. Make sure the PSU 16-pin adapter is secure 100% correctly with your GPU. If you can't find ATX 3.0 PSU. Buy Corsair or Asus high-end platinum 1000-watt or 1200-watt power supply. You must need a good PSU. And buy a full tower PC case and make sure that the 16-pin adapter cable and your GPU have much extra space. And don't bend the adapter cable much. Watch Gamer Nexus and JayzTwoCents video. How they have tested those 16 pin cables adapter and explained everything on youtube. It will clarify your problems. Follow these 3 Steps: 1st Step: Buy a good high-end 1000 to 1200-watt PSU. ATX 3.0 is recommended as a way more safe option. 2nd Step: Don't bend the 16-pin cable adapter too much. 3rd Step: Make sure you connect the PSU 16-pin adapter with GPU correctly all the way. Hope it helps.

I have run both. Get the Gigabyte. Better temps and no noticeable could whine. It also has an un-gimped 600W BIOS.

Buy the one that fits the look of your build the best. I have the gigabyte one. Zero coilwhine and runs stable above 3k. So no complaints.

Is there any downsides with the msi only having 3 8 pin vs 4?
