Question Does the brand of an RX 9070 XT matter ?

[justinj]

I am seeing all of these for $599:

1. ASRock Steel Legend Triple Fan
2. Gigabyte Gaming Overclocked Triple Fan
3. Asus Prime Overclocked Triple Fan
4. XFX Swift Triple Fan
5. PowerColor Reaper Triple Fan
6. Sapphire Pulse Triple Fan

I read that Gigabyte might be less reliable, and with worse customer service.
Anything to watch out for?

Asus tend to command a higher price tag, XX's tend to have a higher overclock from the factory. IMHO, the Sapphire and XFX cards look super!

check warranty of the manufacturers as well as size needed in your case

Personal preference I would go for 5 or 6 on AMD cards.

I hope for you that you have a Microcenter nearby because it's the only place you can get those cards at this price.

Waited in line for over an hour and didn’t get one…

The one near me had multiple cards but looks like they have about been picked over already. I think I saw at last check, exactly 1 xt at msrp. some more expensive AIB cards. But there was definitely demand. One that I liked the look of they had 25+ and now completely gone
