Why do AMD gpus fail so often?
Pic related.
What about Matrox cards?

Anyone have intel gpu/igp data?
Because people use them for longer time instead of replacing them because they dont get gimped by new drivers.

More heat output and energy consumption, higher operating temperatures, bigger heatsinks with bigger fans that vibrate more.

mining
It's <2% so who cares? Their testing is clearly shit since it doesn't match the real world. If the test was hitting them with a hammer everything would have a 100% failure rate. Doesn't matter. Real world matters.
>13% failure while testing
How in the fuck are they even testing them?

don't try to trigger me, nvidia jew. I AM NOT FALLING FOR THE TRAP AGAIN

Yeah, what methodology are they using? Sources?
I can only see FirePro and Quadro series being tested thoroughly from work environments. The failure just driver crashes or is it actual card deaths? Or just anomalies/artifacts? I'm genuinely curious.

All good man. I picked up a couple of GT 730's 2GB GDDR5's for around seventy bucks ($35 a piece). Works fine. R7 240 was close in price but not as good and the 250's were too pricey but better. Weird spot to be in IMO.

The manufacturer tests each card to see whether it works before shipping them out.
Jesus. I've always owned Nvidia cards ever since the Riva 128. I almost considered buying a RX 480, but this is making me think twice. Instead I'll probably buy the GTX 1060, which is a better performer in both DX11 and DX12. I'll be able to continue playing my games the way they're meant to be played!

It's sad that people take random images on an anonymous image board with no source as fact.
>>55586812
Nvidia cards die faster in my personal experience. No clue if the image in OP is true or not as I go by my experience. I've been buying cards since before the Riva 128 too. I'd buy another Nvidia card if that's all you've known mate. It's like politics in the USA many folks are just voting for the D or R next to name yours just happens to be an N.

They make custom computers and track which GPUs fail during testing and for their customers in the field.
>>55586375
Testing is just a burn in test before they ship the computer out. A lot of AMD cards just fail almost immediately.
Something, something, buttcoin, something

Two words

Because they are a budget brand, obviously
XFX took away the lifetime warranty of AMD GPU's because cunts who used them for mining returned them in droves as they were overclocking them and running them 24/7
>>55589137
doesnt overclocking void warranty anyway?
>>55589173
it'd be very hard to prove it if you didn't do any sort of bios or voltage mod
I've returned shit damaged via overclocking
>>55586326
That's weird, out of like six video cards only my 6800GT actually had the VRAM start go bad.
No issues on the ATI end though...
>>55586326
only way they can sell to the poorfags.
you know car battery industry? they make their products to fail while it's possible to make much longer lasting batteries. they earn more in the long run.
