AMD, Gigabyte... Which Is The Best For Gaming?

Solution
AMD (and NVIDIA) are companies that make the chips, they dont actually make a graphics card.
Gigabtye, ASUS, MSI, XFX and others buy the chips from AMD/Nvidia and then use them to make graphics cards.

There is some blah brands like Zotac and Powercolor but after you get beyond the budget brands the others a pretty much equal.
At that point it comes down to what level (gpu chip) you can afford and then which brand makes the best model of card with that chip in it.

amd is mostly a company making cpus and gpus

companies like sapphire, msi, asus, gigabyte and many others just make a design based on what amd offered and then design a new card or a slightly customized one that might appeal to most users or users who like those brands and amd

same applies for nvidia, very rare to see someone with a nvidia made gpu, but lots of people with zotac and evga around

about quality

i personally have bought sapphire alot in the last 15 years with good resutls

others love asus, some adore msi

it dpends more on the price, the reputation of the brand and if you are a nvidia fanboy or amd fanboy

there was a time when powercolor was very good, but powercolor almost disappeared

sapphire reamins present and strong, and stingy

thier cards come with just a manual and a cd

compared to evga, last year i bought a 750ti, what a surprise, it came with so many things! a very nice surprise

msi also is very good, i rarely buy from another brand than those mentioned
