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?

    It’s not so much brands themself, but every brand can have a dud line up (also on nvidia)

    Sapphire is roughly amd equivalent to what used to be evga.

    Xfx lately has done very well on amd cards.

      I always viewed EVGA as being recommended so much less because they were actually the best, but just because of their customer service, which actually made me weary of them because it seemed so many people had experience using EVGA customer service…

      How often people recommended EVGA due to their customer service scared me off of them. If so many people know how good their customer service is, it made me wonder how reliable the actual cards were.
