XFX AMD video cards. A good brand? (lemmy.world)

I am going to buy myself a new video card for Christmas. When I look online I see that XFX is usually the best priced card. Are they a good company? Are their cards made well? How about their warrantee service?

If you go for that card, then, just in case, consider getting yourself a GPU sag bracket.

I'm not sure if Gigabyte fixed it with this generation of AMD cards, but they've gotten into quite a controversy not that long ago over quality of their PCBs in 30th series Nvidia cards. Basically, they would crack too easily under their own weight, rendering them inoperable. Gigabyte then refused to cover them under warranty.
