What is the best 470, 480 GPU manufacturer to buy?
MSI, Sapphire, XFX?
Msi gamer red led = good I owned 50 of them rx 470 8gb, rx 470 4gb, rx 480 8gb, rx 480 4gb all four models purchased them since last august . 0 failed in my usage I sold off 48 of them the last 2 months 1 failed in someone else's hands.
so 49 of 50 still work they look good with all the leds and they are quiet. I was able to do an rma for the dead one.
sapphire = some good some bad. 2 failed I had 6 or 8 of them the failures happened after I sold them. I was not able to do an rma it was denied
xfx = some good some bad I had about 10 sold them all none have died.
asus strix 480 8gb = good I still have 4 of these. I had as many as 7 of them. 1 died it shorted It may have been my error
i got an rma for it.
to me if I was still buying rx 470's or 480's I would want the best price on 8gb models I would no longer buy any 4gb models
unless the price was stupid cheap like ½ of an 8gb model.
One important thing im interested in is what memory manufacturer will i get on sapphire 470 8gb or MSI 470 8gb. Because i heard that sapphire on 8gb version GPU using always Samsung. I dont know about MSI on that note.
If in my place where i live the difference between 470 8gb and 480 8gb is 35$ what should i buy?
Also can you please name the differnce in hashrate on Sapphire 470 8gb, 480 8gb or MSI 470 8gb, 480 8gb if you have all of them to compare. And do you have statistics what amount of power consumption per kwatt will any of it GPU will get?
Did you ckecked what are the memory manufacturers on your MSI 470 8gb and Sapphire 8gb and how many of them are Samsung and not?
