_ALB_R3D X · Jul 12, 2012, 08:28 AM

Couple of guys I know say it's a very reputable Brand...no personal experience but I trust them!

micropage7 · Jul 12, 2012, 08:34 AM

yep, although not so famous PNY looks good
ive seen many UFD, memory card from that brand

umm like this

Jetster · Jul 12, 2012, 08:56 AM

There good

entropy13 · Jul 12, 2012, 09:08 AM

They're the brand that have cards with all-in-one liquid cooling kits, whether GPU only or GPU and CPU.

95Viper · Jul 12, 2012, 10:04 AM

PNY... I have owned one video card, usb sticks, and a lot of memory from them.
They have excellent quality control, IMO, and the only contact I had was about a year ago, when a usb stick died and they sent me a new one before I had to send the other one back.

They got my business.

Crap Daddy · Jul 12, 2012, 10:20 AM

If I'm not mistaken along with EVGA it's the only American company in GPU business. That's good in my book.

20mmrain · Jul 12, 2012, 10:40 AM

I have GTX 680 3 way SLI in my system right now. Two of the GTX 680's are EVGA and the other is a PNY GTX 680.
I never used them before now.... but to my surprise ... the brand seems very stable. The card itself overclocks and works very well.....and they also have a life time warranty on my card as well as many other versions of their cards.
I would compare them to....Visiontek on AMD's side. Good brand but less well known.

Thanks for the replies

Never owned or worked with their cards, but I've read somewhere (can't remember where, so don't take this seriously) that people were complaining about their cards dying early or after warranty's done. No idea if that checks-out or not.
Anyway, their cards are usually cheaper here and are almost always reference versions. I was/am considering them, if I ever buy an nVidia card. Either them or EVGA.

Yeah i readed it too! on overclock.net Sorry forgot the link!

The PNY Card died after 3-5 days after warranty! alot of people complain about it! and also their Support are not good or you can say they are terrible!

My friend have a PNY GTX 570 and it is worked so well till the warranty and after 2-3 month after warranty the card died and my friend wasn't ocing the card so even more less life if you oc it!

Well anyway why you want PNY Card?

There are many other good brands like MSI, Sapphire, Zotac etc.

Were do you get that a reference card is cheaper than a non reference card?

FordGT90Concept · Jul 12, 2012, 11:42 AM

I wouldn't call PNY good but it's your only choice, really, for NVIDIA Quadro cards. I would not buy a PNY GeForce.
