Go to solution Solved by Prysin,

For AMD cards, vendors work like this

MSI/Sapphire for best clocks, and overclocking potential (these are BEAST cards. The MSI Lightning and Sapphire NITRO/TOXIC or TRI-X OC series are monsters)

XFX for solid cards, they dont give you good factory overclocks or anything, just stock performance with super nice warranty (lifetime)

Gigabyte, Powercolor, Club3D - quality cards, thats it. Nothing special.

 

Asus DCUII or DCUIII -> run the fuck away from those, they gonna set your house on fire.

I'd say go for the xfx.

XFX is a more well known brand and can be trusted, but it still fall behinds some MSI, ASUS and Sapphire cards.

it goes Sapphire/MSI for the best cards but really bad warranty policy XFX for good cards and better warranty policy and dont touch Asus at least with the X90 cards

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

I say Msi would be the best brand so far.

MSI or sapphire based on most AMD user's preferences. Me personally though I'm not the biggest expert on AMD so take it with a grain of salt! Hehe.

I'm going to punch your face- IN THE FACE.

This would be for a i5 4690k, would it be able to handle the card with ease?
