My experience with graphics card brands is limited to MSI and EVGA, both of which have been 100% solid grade A performers for me.

Motherboards, I've used ASUS and MSI and both have been solid.
In my experience MSI has been a middle of the road brand and the few EVGA products i've had(motherboard, video card) have been garbage. I have an MSI gaming laptop and it's quite cheaply made for being top of the line in it's time(980 gtx + I7)

Gaming laptops are a whole 'nother conversation; I never understood why someone would want one.

You are saying EVGA gpus are "garbage"? You'd pretty much be alone in that opinion. Their product and customer support is always rated among the very best. What makes you think that?

I've had all kinds of GPUs over the years.

I currently have an EVGA and zero complaints so far *knocks on wood."

I had an MSI card before this EVGA and it had a major DX12 issue with Battlefield 1 at the time (known MSI issue with that game in that setting). It also had some other minor G-Sync issues but was fine overall.

The few EVGA components i've used I had nothing but problems with, just my experience.

I got my MSI from a pawn shop for well under half price so I'm not complaining as it's still running. Compared to the ASUS Laptops they're made very cheaply, the space bar i've had serviced several times and it still doesn't work half the time.

Thanks for all of the input.
Are the 3 fan versions of the 3060 worth the extra $100 (or more) cost compared to the 2 fans?

I'm going to start another thread later about the rest of his component list to get more input. I don't want to hijack this thread.

The only difference, really, is going to be noise as the two fans (assuming they are the same size as the ones that come on the cards with 3) will be need to spin faster than the ones with three in order to maintain cooling for safe operating temperatures.

Up until this latest card I got, a Power Color Vega 56, I've almost always run two fan GPUs with absolutely no issues.

Received this email today from a stock bot I signed up for to alert me to 30xx cards as they come available. I’m not looking for a 3090, hopefully it’s a sign more cards are coming?

Hi
Just to inform you that Amazon currently have online stock of PNY GeForce RTX 3090 24GB XLR8 Gaming Epic-X RGB Triple Fan Graphics Card for $2,279.99.

PLEASE NOTE – Emails are not always received or read immediately. This email was sent Feb 1 2021 16:01 ET at which time the stock information contained in this email was correct. Unfortunately, it’s sometimes the case that stock can run out by the time you have read this email.

$2,279.99?

Well, I was saving up for a first vehicle for my daughter. I'm sure she'll be fine with a bike...

That is no shit! I’m getting ready to buy my high school son his first car from a family member. Hyundai Sonata Limited. Nice little car. Paying $6k for it. You hit it on the head. This goddamned gpu costs damn near half as much as a frigging car.

Seen some really good benchmarks from the Radeon 6800s. But I've also seen some scary stories of drivers not working worth a shit, and performance close to the GeForce cards with half the RAM. The Radeon card apparently suck at ray tracing right now too.

AMD RX 6800 XT runs at almost half the frame rate of Nvidia's RTX 3080 in Vulkan Ray Tracing tests

Still too early for me to jump on the Radeon wagon considering the prices they're asking.
