Is PNY a good brand for a 4090

I'm looking to buy a 4090 and around here, Asus, MSI and Gigabyte are out of stock temporarily.
But PNY cards are still in stock. Are these any good?

There are a lot in stock. Check this page. https://www.nowinstock.net/computers/videocards/nvidia/rtx4090/

It's been reported that stock is sticking around longer with 4090's even for reference models, but especially if you are willing to pay an AiB markup in the $200+ range.

Also worth noting how that stock tracker shows Best Buy has not gotten any new Founder cards since 2022.

Yeah, PNY is a good enough brand to buy. Warranty is good, not the most expensive, etc.

Nothing wrong with PNY. In fact, they make a large share of the workstation class cards (previously called Quadros). I'd expect them to be textbook reference boards, and perfectly fine for the purpose of playing games, doing desktop stuff and so forth, but maybe not the greatest for competitive overclocking.

If what you really want is Asus or Gigabyte or whatever, just be patient a little longer, and you'll probably find one from the brand you want.

I don't care about fancy heatsink fans, or RGB lighting. I will be removing the stock heatsink and slap a custom water cooling waterblock, so...

I gave up on Best Buy getting any meaningful supply of 4090 FEs after months of trying and went with an AIB
