So i was a long time Nvidia user, and now i think it is time for me to join the Red Team side.

I was thinking about buying the RX 7800 xt, and iam between the Sapphire Nitro+ and the Asus TUF, the price difference between these two is almost 50 CAD. I know the Nitro+ is getting huge positive reviews when it comes to performance, but i could use the price difference to get a better CPU or RAM.

My question: Is there a big difference when it comes to the build quality, cooling and longtivity between these two brands?

    I would not recommend Asus for an AMD GPU. My top three would be Sapphire, XFX, and very surprisingly ASRock, all pretty much tied. They all perform similar at similar temps, the Sapphire will have better quality control and will run quieter than XFX, and I honestly just find the ASRock cards ugly most of the time. Replacing the fans would improve that a lot though lol.

    Close following is Power Color, but this generation they perform slightly below the 3 I listed and haven’t been great at QC.

    I have an XFX Merc310 because their price was stellar and their performance is on par with the best. Just a bit louder, but I use closed back headphones.
