I can't decide really, xfx is louder and hotter but it comes with a free game
XFX and Sapphire are generally considered the best.
Sapphire, Powercolor, XFX are the go to brands. Get their cheapest models, or a fancier one from them if you want to spend the extra $$.
I just heard good things about XFX.
Both great cards though, reccomend looking into XFX for them, v solid.
XFX seem to be the most consistent in terms of performance and build quality too from what I read online as well as Sapphire but I have no personal experience with them.
XFX are the best in terms of build quality too imo
But actually, I should be able to connect say an XFX card. My PSU provides EPS cables, yes, it also seems to provide one 8-pin -> 8-pin and one 12+4 -> 2x 6+2, so I could in theory connect it
The local distributor already refused support claiming their 1-year store warranty expired. Over 2 months later, I have no RMA, no replacement, no timeline, and a GPU that can fail permanently at any moment.
I also tried reaching out to XFX support to understand how their RMA process works in this situation. Unfortunately, I haven’t received any response so far. Considering this is a relatively new card, the lack of response from support has been pretty frustrating and left me unsure about how to proceed.
