You’re probably right, I should maybe just buy a cheap one. I wondered if maybe some of them are known to use better components or have less coil whine but I don’t think anyone has checked this yet 😅

I agree the reference design is called that because the other manufacturers base their designs on it, but these cards are using exactly that design - without any changes.

Sapphire

MSI

Gigabyte

AMD

Thanks for your answer.

Please forgive me, but I strongly believe they are reference cards. I’m referring to the cards built by those different manufacturers, but still using the reference design - all having identical pcbs and coolers - the cards that all look the same, despite having a different brand on the box.

I don’t mean the cards that are designed by those manufacturers and look completely different.

Thanks for the great answer 👍😁

Do you consider sapphire to be morally responsible compared to others? Also, I’m curious, is there a case of one being responsible for a drought that you’re referring to?

I was trying to send from a wormhole app, which I now see doesn’t work with the website.

Ahh, I see. I’ve got a wormhole app on my phone which I was trying to use to send from. I guess it just can’t work with that website. Thanks

I use wormhole, but when I’ve wanted to use that website for receiving, I can never tell how to do it.

Can you actually use that site to receive files?

Thanks. I’ll consider that. What makes you decide one manufacturer is better than another?

Mine just moves 😉

My wife uses that while I’m away 👍
