I am just curious why are XFX cards on the AMD side so much more expensive compared to the other AMD manufacturers? They're usually the most expensive ones in most cases.
And actually Vice Versa why is Sapphire the usually the least expensive in the bunch? And I know Sapphire is an actual decent brand considering that most tech reviews usually always review Sapphire cards, so obviously their quality is up to par if not higher than other manufacturers in most cases, but yet they always seem to be like $10-30 less expensive, and some up to like $50 less expensive compared to XFX.
Cause I love the look of XFX cards, just something about their solid symmetrical boxy looking coolers appeal to me over the Asus and Sapphire coolers which usually look more jagged and rugged.
Whenever I see an XFX card I would always tend to chose it over a Sapphire or Asus in terms of appearance, but sadly XFX cards are usually always $20-50 more than the formers... which is kind of hard to justify.
Are their coolers better or do they just cost more because of tendency to use solid metal cases instead of plastic. So essentially what I am asking here is are they simply just more expensive because they have a subjectively better cosmetic look or do they actually having something more than that?
PS I know XFX had a falling out with Nvidia a while ago and that is why they no long make Nvidia cards.
