I am flabbergasted by the EVGA statements and stance on this issue. Have always seen them as the premium Nvidia card supplier, with the best conditions and warranty plans, and with solid QA. But this is enough for me to never turn to them again for GPU. It all shows a glaring lack of dedication.
On the other hand, MSI keeps surprising in a positive way both in price, quality and communication and TwinFrozR V just strikes a perfect balance. Gigabyte seems to be at a standstill, or just lazy, but maybe thats just my personal impression of the WF cooler which seems long overdue for an update.
About Asus support and aftersales I can only agree that it is horrible. Also Strix seems like a rather overpriced and overrated cooler since you don't hear idling GPU's anyway, any other casefan will drown out the noise in the first place.
