Recommended Graphics Cards (RTX 50-Series) for For a Real Australian Build

The RTX 50-series cards I'd actually put in a build, picked after years of diagnosing dead GPUs and melted power connectors at our Erina workshop. A graphics card is the most expensive thing in most builds and the part most likely to be counterfeit, ex-mining or shipped with a 12VHPWR connector that wasn't seated properly — so these are current-gen AU-stock cards from AORUS, ASUS, MSI and Gigabyte, chosen for cooling, warranty and the 16-pin connector done right. If a card ever artefacts, black-screens or won't post, bring the whole tower in — we diagnose GPUs on the bench before you spend on a replacement.
