It has been slightly lower before for the RTX 4080 - but this SG version is actually an OC version with a higher clock speed. Free Diablo IV game too as a bonus…

I have not used GALAX myself but in general, from what I hear their built quality is good, especially since this particular variant is not your usual cheapest/lowest model in a brand's line-up making it appealing.
It is said that GALAX ranks below Asus/MSI/Gigabyte, head-to-head with Colourful/ZOTAC, and above the likes of Inno3D/Gainward/Maxsun etc.
I saw the link you posted before too….I think it is the same model but I can't be certain…would anyone be able to confirm? :D
From the link:
Instead, the OC team used a more ‘budget’ Galax RTX 4080 Serious Gamer (SG) 1-Click OC edition.
Galax GPUs are good but my only problem is - their warranty period is 2 years and not 3 years like others - ASUS, Gigabyte, Zotac, MSI, PowerColor, EVGA and few others.. Hence why I too also avoid Palit/XFX/Sapphire/Asrock if I can
Agreed, I got the Zotac RTX4080 for $1900 from CL for this reason.
I have a Zotac 3080 Still going strong no real concerns with quality.
The fan bearings did start to go bad and figured ill custom loop now it oc's really well.After how long? Sounds like you could have just RMA'd it?
@Jexla: Most cards have to go back to Taiwan for warranty.
Not worth having it gone for any lenght of time and Custom loop would be quieter anyway.
haha I simply don't like the looks of ZOTAC cards….lol even Inno3D looks better… :D
D.W?
Yes :)
@Jexla: Hey bro:) .I recognised your username from years ago on steam- battlefield 3,small world. Hope all is good.
@Vishnu Masala: Oh that's crazy, I still am not sure who you are! You are one of Nathan's friends? :D
I just came here to say that, at least in NZ, manufacturer and extended warranties are a bit of a scam - it has to have a warranty by law, for a reasonable period of time. I don't think anyone expects a $1800 graphics card to die within 3 years, so you'd be covered by the consumer guarantee act, and PBTech as the seller (not the manufacturer) will need to resolve.
Of course, it usually means speaking to a manager and showing them the law, as most don't seem to know this. Usually works like a charm though.
See consumer guarantee act here:
https://www.consumerprotection.govt.nz/general-help/guide-to…Yes, but that's one less thing I have to deal with. Manufacturer warranties are also a good indicator of a companies belief in their products.
Anyone got any experience with Galax's build quality, customer support etc?
Add an LN2 pot and it seems to work well… https://www.tomshardware.com/news/galax-rtx-4080-overclock-w…
