Experiences from MSI GPUs

Joona Parviainen · May 27, 2014

Hi!
My gigabyte gtx 660 ti died and I sent it to warranty because it died
1 and 1/2 year before warranty. They sent me back msi 760 oc and I have no any experience from msi gpus. Are they as reliable as gigabyte is? How long msi gpus live after warranty?

I have that exact GPU and trust me, it's awesome (it's really, really quiet). I've had some driver crashing issues when I tried to overclock but that has nothing to do with the card (I think, the temps never got over 65C and changing voltage didn't help). I haven't tried that in a while, but it might have just been the driver.

Some people think lowly of MSI, but personally, I have chosen them over ASUS, EVGA, and Gigabyte. I've had a MSI 260, 460, 660 Ti, and now two 780s. I've parted with the 260, 460, but they both worked last time I had them in my possession. My 660 Ti is still running strong and runs extremely cool still. So they're a fairly reputable brand, at least in my experience.

Hard to say, each chip is different. I haven't personally heard of any major differences between manufacturers when it comes to longevity, so I would expect it to work for years to come.

The biggest factor in component degradation is heat, but you don't have to worry about that in Finland since the ambient temps rarely go over 25C
