EVGA Upgrades 790i SLI FTW with Digital PWM

lol I agree... most often XfX just take an OEM nVidia product then slap a sticker and add warranty on it. Evga on the other hand revises reference design.

But in this case, both XFX and EVGA's origional 790i Ultra were standard reference boards and XFX was the best one!

People still actually buy nvidia chipsets?

Before the fanboys tar and feather me, t'is just a joke.

People buy nvidia chipsets cause they want SLI or out familiarity with them. It doesnt mean all of them are fanboys. Their partners made some pretty good boards that overclock very well, almost as well as intel chipset boards. Besides, if intel will be the only chipset producer for their CPUs it will monopolize the market.

@tatty. i think they are almost the same if not the same. I personally prefer EVGA cause XFX support is simply horrible.

They are the same, but many EVGA members on the EVGA forums were using the XFX BIOS in the early days of the data corruption issues because they said it was a more stable BIOS!

I also thought that XFX support was cr*p, until 10 days ago I sent them my board that refused to boot because I did a bad flash (although followed the instructions) and it corrupted, within 6 days I has a brand new board on my doorstep warranty replaced (it was 5 months old), they paid for the carriage both ways and the new board was sent and from and the old board sent to mainland europe so not even in the same country.......so in this case, I personally cannot complain, although I have had issues with them in the past, like they seem to know less about their boards than my 1 year old granddaughter does

looks like you were fortunate. It seems their US office is the one thats messed up. Not only do they not know much about their boards but they take forever to reply to emails, make you pay for shipping and their level of customer service is plain bad.

EVGA, in my experince, have been much better. I suppose it is a regional difference.
