Are sapphire graphics card any good ??

[GOD MAN]

Hii,

So I am going to get a RX 580 next week for my first build(cuz i have a freesync monitor)

The cheapest RX 580 in my region(India) is a- Sapphire pulse RX 580 8GB(It also has a back-plate which is surprising at this price point)

Is this graphic card good enough ?

Can this brand be trusted?

Please let me know.

Sapphire to AMD is basically what EVGA is to Nvidia.

Sapphire is the best brand of AMD cards.

Sapphire is a well known AMD-only manufacturer. Kind of like Galax or EVGA that make only custom versions of Nvidia cards.

Sapphire has pretty much the best cooling but the warranty is mediocre at best.

There, I fixed it.

 

From all I've seen for the later AMD GPUs Asus Strix have been the best cards on the top end. Sapphire is definitely not bad though. I really like the fact that replacement fans are widely available, unlike most brands.

In the reviews and my personal experience with vega 64 the sapphire card does 5-10 degrees better compared to cooling  ( yes I had both Asus and vega 64 in my system )

Sapphire and strix are the best amd cards.

Not any more they used to in the past, anyway that was not the point... It's that they are exclusive to a brand and both make well-designed coolers.

litterally a reference model with no OC and a different cooler shroud.

Yeah. I guess they still do. But the GTX 580 they made was a pure-reference card.

oh really ?

google "sapphire rma nightmare" its not even funny "users lose their warranty if thermal paste replaced"

This is a ... company policy, its counter part evga cares about costumers as long as serial has warranty doesnt matter if its second or w/e it rma's easly.

I wish evga made amd's since radeon 7 and Navis are going to hit high end users
