What else would a consumer base things on except their own experiences? Not like it's a rare story either.

I don't know, real world data maybe? Your one, or 2, or even 10 experiences are very insignificant statistically speaking. And of course it's not a rare story, people who talk online about a product are most usually people with a bad experience, complaining about it, it kinda introduces a bias that you have to ignore. So you go for things like failure rates, which you can find online.

By the way, it's almost never actually a fault from AMD or Nvidia, but the actual manufacturer of the card.

Edit: Not that I care about Internet points, but downvoting without a rebuttal is... Not very convincing

A persons actual experience with a product isnt real world data? Fan boys for huge companies are so weird.

Please read my entire comment, I also said your experience as one person is statistically insignificant. As in, you cannot rely on 1 bad experience considering the volume of GPUs sold. Anybody can be unlucky with a purchase and get a defective product, no matter how good the manufacturer is.

Also, please point out where I did any fanboyism. I did not take any side in my comments. Bad faith arguments are so weird.

Sure buddy, we're all idiots for not liking the product you simp for. Got it.

Nice. Did not answer anything, did not point out where I'm simping, or being a fanboy. I'm not pro Nvidia, nor AMD, nor anything (rather than that I'm pretty anticonsumerism actually, not that you care).

You're being extremely transparent in your bad faith.
