For some reason, Gainward sparks warm feelings. Had one of their cards in early 2000s, got a Palit after that (I know) and then all EVGAs.

The only Gainward GPU I had was a GTX 450 that died for no apparent reason. I'd have bought this Gainward however, it seems neutral in design enough for me to put it in any PC and still have okay aesthetics. No money on hand unfortunately.

I have fond memories of their golden sample cards. There was a point when they were actually really competitive and overclocked well too but i've lost my memory, I think it was during the Ti4200 days.

Now if I can their 5090 it would be great as Heatkiller is making a block for it and I want it.

Damn we've gone from 4200 to 5090, full circle right there.

In South-Africa, they are charging us anything from R27000-R38000, that is anything between $1450-$2050, ********** scum of the earth. Some units sold, and some are just sitting there. It's truly unbelievable, and you should hear their excuses!

Which makes zero sense, especially when you look at the RTX4080 Supers they are selling, wait for it... wait for it... for $1100 LOL.
