First and last time ever buying from Powercolor.

vicente c

The 5700xt was the gpu I got for my first ever build, but it died within less than a year in use. I sent it back with the RMA process and waited almost a month for this gpu to finally get sent back. And whaddya know they send back a 5700, not a 5700xt.

 

shouldve listened to my friends and stick with nvidia. 😕

How is this AMD's fault? This is why you don't buy cards from shitty aftermarket manufacturers.

 

 

And this is something you should be contacting their support about (again).

How is amd at fault here? That's the same thing saying I'm never buying Galax again should've listened to my friend and stuck with amd. This is just powercolor being at fault.

i didnt say anything about Amd, I love what they have to offer. What I mean by the last part is that my friends told me to get a RTX card instead of a amd one but I went with a amd because I can trust them when it comes to performance (plus the fact so many people said good things about that specific company).

What you did is the equivalent of buying cheap tires for your new car, then blaming the car when the tires make you slide in the rain and wrap your car around a pole.

By saying "shouldve listened to my friends and stick with nvidia" you are saying that... When you say I should've stuck with Nvidia that means not going with AMD at all. You're contradicting yourself.

Guys, can we not be toxic on one small slip up? This is starting to look like youtube comments on both sides.
