Can i trust XFX when it comes to graphics cards.
I have heard people get all kinds of problems with their card and especially their warranty.
So if i get an R9 280 or R9 280X can i trust them?

If $30 is a big deal then get the XFX. But I agree with the birdman. MSI is always my first choice, then ASUS or Gigabyte.

XFX is pretty much a budget brand, and usually the XFX nonreference designs are made on the cheap, either with cheaper PCB components or cheaper cooling. You get what you pay for.

I currently own the first XFX graphics card I have ever owned. I bought it on 1/13/2013. I have bought 3 more to put in computers that I built to sell since then. I haven't had any problems with my XFX Radeon HD 7870 and haven't had any reports of problems from the people that I sold the computers to.
