Question Which is the best card brand for an RTX 5070 ?

[ltsKan]

I'm looking on buying a rtx 5070 and I was wondering which card brand should I go for,
eg, MSI, Gigabyte, Zotac, Asus etc.

Gigabyte Windforce is the cheapest out of all of them but they have a rattling problem with fans when they hit 0 rpm, and if I'm not wrong the thermal paste sometimes spills out.

the MSI Ventus is another cheap option, I like the aesthetics, looks good but there's various opinions about it. Some people said it's loud, others said they never had an issue and its pretty silent, so I'm doubting about this one but maybe it is a strong option.

the Zotac model is another option, but from what I got told and with some research, the quality of materials isn't that great, also some people recommended me MSI, Asus or Gigabyte way over a Zotac.

And then there's Asus Prime which are decent but too expensive for what they offer.

Other options may be PNY, Inno3D , Palit,etc but apparently these havethe worst temps, noise and quality materials.

Then there's people who told me that it doesn't matter and that I should buy the one I like the most, which is the MSI Ventus but i'm not sure about how silent it is or how it performs with the fans.

if you have got any of these models let me know and tell me your experience with it.

The Ventus range was considered the entry level for GPU's as is the Prime range. Asus also tends to command a higher price tag on all their products, not just their GPU's, when compared to their competition.

Where are you located? What is your preferred site for purchase?

IMHO, you pick the card that meets your build's requirements. The notion that a card is great tends to be broken after you have to deal with the brand's warranty department. EVGA was the best brand out there but after Nvidia's strongarming tactics and EVGA's departure, any brand would be hit or miss in the GPU industry.

My 2 cents.

I'm from Argentina,so prices here aren't the same as in America or europe,they are more expensive.Tbh,any site except ones like amazon or ebay.For me buying from foreign sites is way more expensive than buying locally due to the shipping cost and taxes.

tbh with you,the only ones that meet my requirements are asus prime and msi ventus 3x models,both are black,fits in my case,doesn't have any rattle problem,both quality of materials are decent compared to other models apparently.
Now I'm just doubting which one of those because I have seen people saying the msi ventus is loud,others saying its very silent and it isn't that loud,the same with asus prime so now I'm doubting if it's as loud as they say or not.

EVGA was the best brand out there but after Nvidia's strongarming tactics and EVGA's departure

yeah,back then EVGA was a solid yes but sadly they stop making gpus with nvidia due to some problem.
