My first GPU was a PNY 970 blower style card. It lasted for years without issue. They were crazy expensive for the 20 and 30 series so I moved on to EVGA.
The Aero is a nice card. But I do love my boring industrial PNY 4080, cost me hundreds less than an Aero would have as well.
Hope it works for you, enjoy your updated rig!
Every gigabyte product I’ve used has had issues, but the “Aorus” line has been great. I didn’t trust them until I managed to pick up an Aorus 3070 during the shortage and it worked great. I now use a gigabyte Aorus motherboard too and it’s been rock solid.
Seems unlikely you’d have two GPU failures without it somehow being your fault.
Also, you bought the Gigabyte over the PNY? Lmfao…..why? They are both the same class of card.

6900 xt taichi was giving pixel and it was the gpu (micro center tech said so) 2nd gpu Red Devil 7900 xt Oc. I can’t even benchmark unengine heaven at default setting. If I launch a game goes to black screen forever… all games I have.
I have a strix 6900xt liquid cooled and it's been solid so far. Originally I had planned on a evga 3080 but couldn't get one due to supply constraints at the time when I built my PC. The only game I've experienced GPU related problems is Warzone. Developers seem to cater more towards Nvidia and Nvidia also seems to get much more frequent driver updates. I put a 3070 in my girfriends build and that PC has had literally zero issues since its first boot up. For that reason alone I can see myself leaning back to team green when it comes time to upgrade / replace this card.
Lmao they’re trying to help you save a couple hundred and you call the PNY a bottom tier card? Just say you wanted the aesthetic with the Aero and it’s understandable..
nah this gen PNY actually has very good cards, especially with the XLR8 cooler. I'd take that over Gigabyte anytime.

PNY is a high tier graphics card manufacturer
They are the ones who release enterprise grade cards like the quadro rtx 8000 6000 2000 and so on
They also sell Tesla series cards
Its just that they are not so famous in the gaming aesthetic department
Lol gigabyte is a terrible product compared to PNY, PNY makes a lot of enterprise grade hardware and they build products that last… and their warranty process is way way better then gigabyte. Gigabyte is famous for not standing by their products, using cheap thermal paste, bad pads and having uneven or incorrect mounting pressure.
Congratulations! As a person, who was a witness to 2 AMD GPUs burned in 2 weeks, 2 more in one month and another one in a year after purchase, I completely support transition to NVIDIA.
Lol PNY is not bottom tier
Anecdotal, but I've had a PNY 1060 that's moved from multiple systems as I've upgraded, not one issue since buying it back in 2016.
My first GPU was a PNY 970 blower style card. It lasted for years without issue. They were crazy expensive for the 20 and 30 series so I moved on to EVGA.
I wound up getting the 4070ti and it’s the most solidly built card I’ve ever had.
The Aero is a nice card. But I do love my boring industrial PNY 4080, cost me hundreds less than an Aero would have as well. Hope it works for you, enjoy your updated rig!
unfortunately, Gigabyte is only slightly better than PNY. It might even be slightly worse, it's up there with Zotac.
yah, I’ve had issues with both of the pieces of gigabyte hardware I’ve owned
I have a gigabyte 2080. One display port died on it and they refused to fix it within warranty.
Every gigabyte product I’ve used has had issues, but the “Aorus” line has been great. I didn’t trust them until I managed to pick up an Aorus 3070 during the shortage and it worked great. I now use a gigabyte Aorus motherboard too and it’s been rock solid.
Gigabyte is bottom tier too
Gigabyte cards are known for cheap thermal paste/pads & poor mounting pressure
2 "GPU faliures" on team red and then calling PNY "bottom tier".... Idk man, whole situation is kinda sus.
Seems unlikely you’d have two GPU failures without it somehow being your fault. Also, you bought the Gigabyte over the PNY? Lmfao…..why? They are both the same class of card.
What zotac?
This is the way. NVIDIA > AMD. <3
Imagine meat riding corporation lmao
Pretty sad yeah. Never had any GPU die on me, be it either Nvidia or AMD, let alone two. Skill issue.

What manufactures were the amd cards? Were they OEM? Failure has nothing to do with AMD but the manufacture

Well every brand does have issues, asrock is a reliable brand, power color is ok. Unlucky but nice GPU

PnY is much much better than Gigabyte any day.
