Topic: Sapphire GPU are poorly built? Or just not rugged - page 3. (Read 565 times)
There is nothing wrong with sapphire GPUs unless you buy used which might have been used for years on mining already, you need to be careful when sourcing for used GPUs as many won't tell the truth about using them to mine for years
Zotac improved a lot over the years.
I have 12x3080 amp holo and they are rock solid.
Yes zotac is good I've been buying their cards since gtx1080ti amp and it's working perfectly till date, I have 12 gtx1660 super that are all zotac too they work very well, zotac isn't a joke I have 12x3080 amp holo and they are rock solid.
Avoid used sapphire GPUs, I don't know how this GPUs are made but they die easily after few years , this have happened to me with GPUs like Vega 56, rx580s and 570s, stay away from sapphire cards
Sapphire GPUs are top of the line in most models. Well built, durable double bearing fans, good cooling, etc. Sure some may need to be RMA'd, but so do all the others.

from what i've heard, sapphire is one of the best vendor for amd gpus out there. have you ever rma your devices or find out why your gpu dies? it might be related to something else, such as bad psu and so on.
I have 5 zotac GPU gtx1660 super and Ti, they are so cool when mining their temp is around 56°C at 31MH each so I believe the maker did a good job on the temp unlike bad manufacturers like maxsun and veinda What about Zotac?
zotac is a tier 2/3 vendor. it belongs to the same class as colorful afaik. temp is definitely the mian issue for gpu issued by them.
Can you share more info?
About the model and what's the issue with these cards
I had some Sapphire GPUs and they were pretty good, probably the best AMD partner in my opinion, specially the Nitro++ models, good and reliable fans, replaceable on some models, easy to clean
Even the entry models like Pulse are good
Only good experiences with sapphire here, the only downside in my country is the 1 year warranty vs 3 years with Asus or Gigabyte (only talking about AMD cards)

I have many of sapphire being working since 2017 i got used sapphires cleaned changed thermal paste some raplaced fans working 7/24 since 2020 i thought they can die but doing great. Another good thing with sapphire is they always uses fuses so it protects pcb from burn. Unlike other venders you can find many burnt pcbs.
What about Zotac? I have a gtx1660 super brand new that's not working anymore, fans run very slow when booting up but no display and I can't even identify the fuse on the GPU because I don't know what they look like, any link to where I can know what GPU fuses looks like?
