So I'm sure a lot of team green is looking at AMD for the first time in years. What brands should we be looking at? Who stands behind their warranty? Stick with a reference card? Help appreciated.

What makes Sapphire the best versus the others? Why is any one brand better than another?

They were one of the original builders for ATI self-branded cards. Once they allowed 3rd-parties, Sapphire became their own brand.

They have generally high build quality like Asus, but if anything goes wrong, good luck getting any warranty support.

Best warranty support on AMD is XFX (but due to cost-cutting, their designs are highly-variable in quality, so do your research first).

XFX is a good second choice behind Sapphire. If you want to water cool tho go for a reference design.

Ive had mixed results with XFX customer service.
This was back when we were buying them by the 24ct for display servers for HBO and Universal.
Not like I was mining on them, the purchase orders and ship to addresses were pretty clear.
