Hi guys,

I have one more thing before i buy a new DS pc. I am very concerned about what brand of geforce 570 does DS use? I have heard that some brands are not reliable. Sorry, do not want to look like annoying costumer.

Thank you for your help

I believe they have used MSI and ZOTAC as their defaults in the past, but for normally less than $20 more you can get the EVGA, which is a brand I trust.

Brands are no different than another, unless talking in terms of non-reference designs like a few of Gigabyte's own takes on cards and some other companies' non-reference design. Reference design for nVidia cards lately is a single blower fan mounted at the back of the card, any vendor that has a card like that is identical to all other vendors with that reference design. Non-reference wise, companies may be debatable.

Thanks for help guys. I needed to know that DS uses a reliable brand. Some people have said that gigabyte 570 had problems with overcklocking and evga did not wotk properly after a month.

Evga is a great brand and I stand behind them all day, for my heavy use, (24/7 under full load), evga cards have lasted longer, they are all pretty much the same this is true but I find evga more reliable, maybe its me, plus they have an amazing tech support.

thats what I have in all my pcs.

when you order the PC and you want a specific brand just call up and ask and they will take care of you. EVGA all the way IMO.
