Just RMA'd my GIGABYTE GPU for a second time, are there chances for a refund?

| Got a GIGABYTE Radeon RX 580 Gaming last December, had some issues with it crashing the PC under load (around 85 Celsius at first, 75-78 now, so I doubt it's overheating) that have become more common with time, with a different PSU as well. RMA'd it the first time, got it back without any changes, except now it crashes even earlier. Shot a few videos of it crashing with an AIDA OSD with all stats and sent again. Are there any chances they'll return money for a clearly faulty GPU?


| no


| what if its the motherboard?


| AMD: buy Sapphire or PowerColor, always.
Avoid MSI.
XFX/ASRock are generally bad.
Gigabyte are 50/50.
ASUS tax is a scam.

Probably not the MB, since it worked fine with a GTX 1050 Ti. Although a 1050 was also considerably cooler than the RX 580.

Yeah, I think I'll be switching back to NVIDIA GPUs after this one... ASUS ROG Strix one aren't too expensive compared to others where I'm from.


| >>593875 nice, switching back to Nvidia just because you got one faulty GPU. You could have absolutely the same with Nvidia videocard.

Not really just because it was faulty, I liked Nvidia's temps and settings a bit more.
