Does the brand of a GPU actually matter? Ive found the GPU above to be cheaper than other ones available online.
Any help would be appreciated!

I have got a EVGA RTX3070TI FTW3 ultra
Works like a wonder, 12% better than my friend’s RTX3070
Got it at launch around $1.4K
If you don’t do mining this will do fine! Comes with LHRLHR is not a feature its a detriment, when prices normalise lhr cards will drop more than non lhr cards
Colorful are usually fine, as said above, usually better than PNY or Galax. Keep in mind that in terms of units sold, colorful actually sell more than Asus, Gigabyte, EVGA etc
Can also confirm. Have the same igame model. Runs very well for games. Runs a bit hot for mining.
Colourful are a Chinese brand that have been in the computer graphics card scene since the 90's so while a lot of people haven't heard of them they've been around longer than most people have been buying graphics cards.
When I was building PC's at centrecom in the
Late 90s
There was a brand if motherboard I &$+àing hated.. PC Partner..
Zotac… Go figure.. they renamed themselves.I own 2x zotac extreme amp series. A 1070 and a 1080ti
Been fine..
I guess it's kind of a mixed bag out there.
Pny/ colourfulAll these cards are made in china these days.. and even the big brands are prone to stuff ups.
I suggest looking closely at what some known issues are with the series and then Google as much as you can images of the card. Look how the fans and heatsink are designed. Capacitors on the rear near the GPU core section was a known 3000 series drama..
Most importantly look at warranty policy etc. Zotac have a dumb feature if you don't register the product on their websites by xx days it's 2yr warranty vs 3yr .
Anyways just my 2cents

I have got colorful 3060Ti, 3 fans version as default, it's better than my PNY or Galax card in mine opinion.
