Question RTX 4090 - which brand to buy if no warranty

[mohamedkhaled21000]

I am shipping an RTX 4090 from Amazon US to Egypt, that means most likely I won't have warranty beyond the 30-day return period from Amazon, as I'd need to ship it again to US for warranty.

Which brand should I go for, if I want to most likely not face issues with the card, aside from ASUS most brands seem to be around 1600-1650 on Amazon, so should I go Zotac, Gigabyte, or MSI? or sth else

Zotac or Gigabyte

Probably best not to chance it, except if vertically mounting. Then again:

I guess that applies to all of them, just Gigabyte's are less structurally sound horizontally.


What brand has the highest service reputation for you locally? I figure that would be the safest bet.
