the problem with overclocking is that the normal GPUs are so extremely powerful that it is not more necessary. For me personally it is the opposite for everyday use, it needs less noise and heat and saves power. I don't like Nvidia but the 4060 is so great for saving money! I hope more cards like this come out with 75W TDP ! But I always love KINGPIN's work! Big RESPECT❤ 👍

While I have moved on, I do still miss EVGA. I bought a 3080 FTW3 Ultra second hand back in 2021 at the peak of the GPU craze. Then earlier this year, my GPU fried itself. I was so sad cause I wasn't planning on shelling out the $$ to upgrade to something better or even equivalent for at least another generation or two. So I decided on a whim to reach out to EVGA support, even though I was not the original purchaser, didn't have the original receipt and was quite possibly outside of the 3 year warranty. To my surprise, EVGA didn't care about any of that stuff and RMA'd my 3080, saving me hundreds. It was seriously the best customer service experience that I've ever had in my life. Ya just don't see that all too often.

@WhatWillYouFind

As a kid I once had a cup spill all over my old 300x series card. I sent an RMA and they honored the lifetime warranty the card carried even though it was my error. I religiously bought EVGA during the lifetime of the company because of that. Treat consumers right, get paid.

@TwinShards

I mean any good company true to their heart and passion will take in defective product so they can see what went wrong and can they fix it. It doesn't matter if they are not making GPU right now, the information they get from the defect can still be used on other product and even though they are not making GPU anymore nothing say they could make a comeback in the future. For GPUs EVGA was/is by far the best company. In the laptop market Framework would take the W.

I never had any luck with EVGA but both the cards I had from them started to fail with getting artifacting from memory errors around a month after the warranty was up. Went back to ATI/AMD at that point and have never had a card die and with Nvidia being what they are now I just don't see myself ever going back. I probably would have tried an EVGA AMD card though if they moved that direction instead of shuttering.

(We're in the UK). We were speechless at how good the experience was. No one tried pulling a fast one. It was "this is not right let us do the right thing". The 4070 has been solid. Zero issues.
