Graphics card
Mixed5.5/10Mid-rangeEVGA was long the most trusted GeForce partner, famous for its support, Step-Up programme and transferable warranties, but it stopped making graphics cards in September 2022. Today you can only buy its RTX 30-series and older cards second-hand, and most standard warranties have expired while extended ones do not pass to new owners. A well-kept EVGA card can still be a fair used buy if priced below newer equivalents.
