Hey /g/ who is the best manufacturer when it comes to AMD video cards?
>>54880894
nvidia
Sapphire
PNY
>>54880894
gigabyte has great "superclocked" cards, pre quiet and good cooling
>>54880894
can i use an AMD gpu in an Intel mobo?
>>54880929
this
>>54880894
Sapphire for noise, temps, and quality.
MSI for overclockability.
>>54880894
Zotac
>>54881009
no goy, you need to buy nvidia
>>54880989
gigabyte is trash, worst quality cards. I'm never buying a gigabyte product again because of their shit. 3 cards in a row died
Do more power phases correlate with higher performance?
Does Sapphire enjoy an exclusive partnership with AMD with prebinned chips just like evga for nvidia?
>>54880894
Asus
Sapphire = PowerColor > Asus > XFX = Gigabyte > MSI > In House Reference Cards > Assorted Trash
>>54880894
Sapphire, MSI. Pick one or pick none.
Corsair (1000W power supply)
>>54880894
Sapphire if you OC
XFX if you don't
>>54880894
Sapphire in almost every metric
>>54880894
EVGA
>>54881520
yeah this i can agree with
i'd put xfx above asus but the rest is good
>>54881009
>>54881009
Yes m8. sure its not favorable yet its work fine.
>>54881009
Yes, it's very common.
>>54881520
>'2.5 out of 5 heatpipes' SNSV placed that high
>>54881056
If you've had 3 in a row die on you it's probably your fault you ignorant cuck. Maybe try not jamming it up your ass before installing it.
>>54880929
This. Its the most premium, beautiful, and best cooling of coolers you see in the last few years of AMD GPUs.

>>54883628
I have the same card, it's quite good. Fucking huge though, many cases would be too small for it.
>>54880929
Their warranty experience was very frustrating when I went through it last year.
>>54883628
i love mine no complaints
Sapphire is to AMD what Evga is to NVIDIA.
>>54880894
I care about prices
Who makes best price/quality?
I mean I could make perfectly overclocked polaris card for 1500$ easy but I would not be match for 200-300$ ones
>>54883713
Usually PowerColor, sometimes XFX.
>>54880894
sapphire
PCS+
XFX
MSI
>>54883694
You obviously don't love it enough to take a good picture.
>>54883711
>I believe you mean XFX
Saphire is a solid second though, XFX just has a warranty you can't beat though.
>>54881565
I thought XFX was totally chill if you overclocked their cards?
>>54883804
You seem mad anon, as if you have no life. So you come here to spend your time bitching instead. In that case since you act like a bitch you will be treated as such.
Make me a sandwich.
>>54883628
ayyyyyyy i got dat too
>>54883903
are you fucked in the head or what?
>>54883903
>>54884009
Nerding out on 4chan watching nerds fight over a picture only nerds would understand in the first place. I wouldn't spend my Thursday any other way.
>>54880929
>>54881012
>>54883628
Do people actually believe this? MSI has consistently made the best AMD cards over the years. Sapphire in the past was mid to shit tier but have recently improved their quality with their RX 200 series cards and newer. XFX has always been and still is shit tier.
>>54884047
Shit tier, sure... but the warranty is top notch, anon.
>>54881531
overkill desu. you dont need more than 600w
PowerColor is awesome. Their PCS+ cooled cards keep up with sapphire vapor-X and blow other out of the water. Plus they were the only ones with big enough balls to make the monstrosity in pic related.
>>54881056
My3 980's were also from Gigabyte and they were shit for overclocking, 2 artifacted very quickly, even when watercooled.
>>54881745
Not him, but is there a difference between running an Intel CPU and an AMD with similar specs and/or benchmark results?
I'm looking at getting an RX 480 when they're released, and judging by this thread, probably a Sapphire one. I have a Core i5-3570K at the moment, and it's certainly not the bottleneck. When it's time to upgrade the CPU, Zen will probably be out. If I already have an RX 480 by then, do you believe it would be worth doing an overhaul and jumping to an AMD CPU and board as well?
My first card was a Sapphire 7770 which was awesome. Then I got a Sapphire 270 that refused to boot but I'm guessing I got a dud. I exchanged it at microcenter for a MSI 270 which is still running great to this day. I kinda want to try out an XFX card but I've heard bad things about their VRM cooling.
>>54880894
depends on the model, but sapphire is always a safe bet. for the 290 and 390, sapphire and msi tend to get the lowest temps and highest overclocks, with powercolor close behind
>>54884047
If Msi replaced their twin frozr they could have been on top.
What's the best reliable gpu I can get for under $150?
>>54885545
750Ti or a GTX 960 or R9 380 if its on a sale.
>>54885545
Used r9 290
>>54880894
bump
>>54883871
Voltage locked
However they do have a transferable lifetime warranty.
ITT: anecdotes
The best AIB is the one that is cheapest
>>54884878
Yes/no/maybe?
Gigabyte
>>54880894
XFX for their warranty
>>54886185
>Locked voltage
Wut?
My xfx 290x has unlocked voltage
the best engineered non reference cards are typically gigabyte imo.
>>54880894
nVidia
hard to pick Msi or Gigabyte? both are great honestly
>>54883844
>XFX has a warranty
Only in the USA
>>54884047
if we take the msi 390 that for some reason had bigger tdp for absolutely no reason whatsoever then yes its good lol
>>54885637
380s not on sale are only $170...
>>54888562
newegg have some 380s on 140..
>>54881520
>MSI that low.
I'm sorry niga but MSI is way above XFX or Asus
Is Asus's marketing about having fulling automated production lines true? Are their cards higher quality than the others because of it? I'm considering getting a STRIX card because of the two 4 pin fan connections on them, my mobo only has two case fan connections.
>>54880894
I'd avoid powercolor and xfx, anyone else should be fine.
Sapphire and MSI are the top though
>>54881009
Literally the best combo
>>54888715
>avoid powercolor
Care to explain?
>>54888591
Agreed, ASUS a shit on AMD cards, XFX has meh coolers
>>54888715
This. Powercolor were the top dogs 10 years ago, i dont know what happened but they have dropped considerably
>>54880908
Fpbp.
>>54884253
>4 eight pin connectors
Holy shit.
How much power does that shit draw?
Also
THICC
>>54880894
MSI and Sapphire are your best bet.
MSI
>>54880894
Sapphire

>hey /g/ who is the best pooper when I want to eat shit
>>54889403
That's the Devil 13, it's not a single card, it's a Dual 390 Crossfire.
>>54883628
How's your experience with this card? does it run everything at 1080 without any issue?
>>54884253
Yeah, I have a powercolor 390, perfectly happy with it. The factory OC is very much on the conservative side though.
Devil 13 is ridiculous.
>>54888576
Hnnnnnnng, that's cheap AF. Based ayymd
>>54890109
Don't get too excited, the ones at 140 are the Asus Strix ones, which are notoriously shit on AMD cards. The good coolers are still around 180 or so, which isn't a bad deal, but at that point, just wait for the RX480.
>>54890198
Damn it Asus! Stick to motherboards, fuck.
480 is great but I already have a fury x. Trying to get a nano for cheap so I can xfire with my fury x
Xfx and Sapphire
