    What else would a consumer base things on except their own experiences? Not like it’s a rare story either.

      I don’t know, real world data maybe? Your one, or 2, or even 10 experiences are very insignificant statistically speaking. And of course it’s not a rare story, people who talk online about a product are most usually people with a bad experience, complaining about it, it kinda introduces a bias that you have to ignore. So you go for things like failure rates, which you can find online.

      By the way, it’s almost never actually a fault from AMD or Nvidia, but the actual manufacturer of the card.

      Edit: Not that I care about Internet points, but downvoting without a rebuttal is… Not very convincing

        A persons actual experience with a product isnt real world data? Fan boys for huge companies are so weird.

          Please read my entire comment, I also said your experience as one person is statistically insignificant. As in, you cannot rely on 1 bad experience considering the volume of GPUs sold. Anybody can be unlucky with a purchase and get a defective product, no matter how good the manufacturer is.

          Also, please point out where I did any fanboyism. I did not take any side in my comments. Bad faith arguments are so weird.

              Nice. Did not answer anything, did not point out where I’m simping, or being a fanboy. I’m not pro Nvidia, nor AMD, nor anything (rather than that I’m pretty anticonsumerism actually, not that you care).

              You’re being extremely transparent in your bad faith.
