Is PNY worth buying or is it bad ?

    It’s fine, it has a large cooler with 3 fans, that’s all you could really want from a board partner.

    PNY makes quite high quality components in my experience, but god help you if you have to deal with support. Hands down the worst support experience I’ve had in my 20+ years of working with computers.

    From the past year’s reddit comments, PNY hardware itself is good. The reddit complaints have generally been PNY support and customer service are so-so.

    Pny is good, bad is like Gainward or Inno3D

  5. Lewdeology

    Nothing wrong with PNY, they just don’t do anything flashy.

  6. SluttyRopeGirl

    Used a PNY reference 780 for like 7 years. Still worked when I sold it.

  7. Meatslinger

    PNY makes NVIDIA’s reference cards, if I remember correctly, and I think they make their Quadro workstation GPUs as well. So yeah, I’d say they’re considered more than just a bit reputable.

    Got a pny 4080s, it works, no complains.

  9. Humble_Mix8626

    its better to have a lower tier brand then having a weaker card

  10. Comfortable_Call6870

    Got this card since release, works great

    My PNY RTX 2080 Ti had Micron memory issues. But I guess that wasn’t on PNY.

    Have the 4070 from PNY in my pc, works amazingly well.
    Can’t speak to their customer service as I have never had a reason to use it yet and hope to never need to.

  13. Eazy12345678

    fine will perform like every 4070ti super.

    I used to have a 1060, for a long long time, it still works like a charm, it always performed decently, stayed very cool, and was pretty cheap, it was plasticky and didn’t have a fancy backplate or rgb, but I never had any issues with it and never failed me

  15. EPIC_NERD_HYPE

    I ran my SLIed PNY 760s OC into the fkn ground. The duel fanned w/ the yellow racing stripes. One still works and is my backup. I trust their stuff. Had to call customer service once and it went great.

  16. I had a PNY 970 for three years, and the friend I sold it to used it in a system for three more years. It was still working when he replaced it. Granted, that’s anecdotal, but it seems to fall in line with most people’s experiences.

    My 3060 worked perfect for it’s entire life, probably still will when I give it to my son.

    I’ve had a pny 4090 for about a year it fucks….

  19. KurtKoksbain

    pny is in the shadow but still exists , their cards are allways solid but never the best. bank for buck is good

  20. RiverdaleStomp

    I’ve had this model since close to release. Very happy with it so far. Like everyone else says, if you have a problem with the card I wouldn’t count on their support being too helpful. The card itself is great.

  21. 7th_Banned_Account

    I use to like their SSDs because they have great quality and were cheap… but now they aren’t that cheap anymore and went up in price a lot

  22. RLIwannaquit

    I think I’ve heard their RMA / support is shit but I don’t shy from buying that brand on other things, it usually works

  23. 0Shaunix0

    Cards are good. Have not needed customer service before. Legit brand

  24. Hyper_BigBlack

    Had a pny 3080 for a year and a half after getting an rma for a msi card and I’ve loved it. Just last weekend I ordered this same card from Newegg and have been using it since Wednesday and have had no issues and has been fantastic at 4k.

  25. TheReaperSovereign

    I returned my PNY 4080S. The fans would ramp up to 100% when the card drew over 1v (which it always did when boosting) and it would ignored all software control

    PNY was willing to RMA it but I was within my return window so I returned it for a TUF which works perfectly

    I suspect they screwed up the firmware or the bios or something. Idk but it was dumb as hell.. Fans were loud and annoying at 100% for no reason because the card wss only sitting in the 50s.

  26. GrimReaper-UA

    PNY manufacturer that creates nVidia reference cards, and quadro workstation cards. I think dudes who able to make something for workstations where if you f* up something it’s cost a lot of money and money that loses, and they still on business, they probably can create graphics cards for gamers.

    Same with AsRock. They make 2CPUs motherboards for servers, so they know how to do this and again, can MB for gamers.

  27. Helpful-Work-3090

    Absolutely. PNY is the only company that makes Nvidia’s professional cards, there must be some reason that nvidia chose them instead of someone else. I have a PNY card and it works great

  28. I bought this exact one. No complaints! It’s light, cool, quiet and no coil whine on mine atleast. It’s actually smaller than my 3070 rog strix which I like.

  29. leftcoast90

    Pny is quality for sure, been around a long time. I had bought a msi 4070ti that has coil whine you could hear across my living room. Returned and got a pny that is completely silent

  30. Original412

    Had a PNY 960 worked great till I had to RMA it and it took a month to get my card back

  31. Snotnarok

    PNY has been around for ages, I have this exact card and it’s been great

  32. CoIombian

    ive had a pny 4090 since october of last year and its been holding up great. super quiet and no coil whine either

  33. Greentaboo

    PNY handles nvidia’s enterprise hardware exclusively, iirc. I’d assume that they make quality products.

    I own a 4080S XLR8, its great. No weird noises, playing games at 144, max settings, 1440p. Doesn’t go above 55c, and honwstly stays at or below 50c for 95% of my game time. Its cool and quiet.

  34. MildLoser

    all gpu companies these days are pretty much the same. except asus, they suck.

  35. No_Interaction_4925

    PNY is good. They were actually the vendor for the founders cards. Not sure if they still are or not.

  36. I have a PNY 4070 Ti. Works well and runs quiet.

  37. MotherBeef

    Had a PNY 4080 for 4 months after doing similar research into them. Everything I read suggests they’re a fine GPU manufacturer – if anything they seem to have LESS controversies or mass-scale failures than some of the other “bigger” brands.

    Understand customer support leaves something to be desired. But to be honest, that is every single PC component company except EVGA and Noctua.

  38. I bought exactly that card I think. Works fine and, mine at least, is notably quiet. Very limited software, relative to say the evga overclock software.
