XFX AMD video cards. A good brand?

I am going to buy myself a new video card for Christmas. When I look online I see that XFX is usually the best priced card. Are they a good company? Are their cards made well? How about their warrantee service?

  • I've had two XFX cards, an RX 480 and 6700 XT. Didn't have issues with either one, no coil whine with the fans.

  • Had a Merc 319 6800XT, worked great till it got wet. Whoops. There was some coil whine during Automatic1111 runs, but I don't really remember it during games. Though most of my gaming is of the patient variety and my monitors are only 1440. So it probably wasn't very taxing. BG3 and Diablo 4 at max settings worked great.

  • I have an XFX RX 480 that i upgraded to an XFX 5700XT, that I then upgraded from recently to a sapphire 7900xtx. The XFX cards had crashing problems and issues where video would just cut out and go straight to black. This happened on both Windows and Linux, and on two different motherboards and power supplies. As soon as I switched to the sapphire, every single problem just... disappeared.
