After hearing so many people complain about them I did some Googling, and as far as their RMA goes it seems to be mostly glowing reviews of the lifetime warranty. People getting free upgrades after 3+ years and the like. Apart from losing the double lifetime warranty I don't see many complaints at all, especially compared to other brands.
So what about the cards themselves?
Some of them have high VRM temps, seems to be a consistent problem with a few manufacturers.
But other than that, is there a problem? Are they more prone to failure? I've heard they cut corners on component quality in the last few gens, but again... No sources.
I see a lot of people say XFX sucks but nobody really says why. Is it worth taking high VRM temperatures in exchange for a good warranty? Is the biggest problem just the DD cooler itself?
I like Sapphire but their 2-year warranty and many, many defective product lines is starting to put me off from buying them again.
Sorry if I'm beating a dead horse.
