Is this card any good?

Sorry,

Meant to ask about INNO3D in general as well. I have never really heard of them.

It's a reference design so it should be OK, but I don't think you get the support and warranty that you get with the 'premium' brands like XFX and eVGA.

I think they're popular in Asia but don't have the presence in Europe for after-sales.

So if things do go wrong, you may have problems, but I could be wrong. I've always had XFX and have always been happy.

Anyone else here vouch for Inno3d products?

Cheers for the info guys.

I am already pushing my budget with this card so cannot really go for a 'premium' brand. The extra £30-40 really will make the missus too unhappy!!

So i guess it is either this Inno3d 8800GTS 512 or a 3870xt.

^agreed. call them, n c how they reply to u.

It looks a good card at a nice price. I havn't heard too much from them, but give it a try, they havn't got a reputation for being bad. It's a good price for that card, have a gamble.

Incidentally, if Inno3D don't impress you you can try this Gigabyte one for the same price.

It really shouldn't be much of an issue, you're really not going to get the best known brands at that price. I've had a biref 15 minute search and not found much in the way of bad reviews or negative feed back (other than general things) from Inno3D. Besides, if you really don't want it, you can go either way, get an 8800GT (they're as little as £120 now from good brands) or pay £10-20 on a better known brand, like this one;

You won't be disappointed.

Generally the extra cost isn't because of higher build quality but because of the extra support staff they place in their preferred markets.

A lot of American posters here like eVGA because of their step up program and because they are based in California and therefore have a home grown tech support.

XFX have a strong presence in Europe and have support offices in UK, Holland, Germany, Sweden, Spain and Portugal with full addresses. They only have 1 office in Canada for the whole of North America.

Other companies tend to have limited offices in these areas and maybe just have a contact number.
