You are not able to play your favorite games and what is worse, without a functional PC.
Digitek shows the brands of GPUs and motherboards that fail the most
it doesn’t ring a bell here, but digitec One of the largest hardware retailers in Switzerland. This store has conducted an analysis that will be of interest to many users, as it determines Failure rates of different brands of GPUs and PC motherboards, So, these statistics will give us an idea of how reliable the different brands are, something we were already able to see on a large scale hard drives that fail the most, Now, we’re going to turn to the component and we’ll first focus on the number of graphics cards that fail the most on PCs.
According to the store, for a brand to count as their statistics they must be sold and 300 graphics cards returned in 2 years Guaranteed. Knowing this, we can see that the one who fails the least and has no rival Ditch with 0%, We cannot consider this brand as commercial, as it is only included in pre-assembled computer, If we go to some of the more famous brands we see PNY and Palit with only one 0,6 and 0,7%, and we’re already gone MSI and Zotac with 1,2%with asus 1,3% hey gigabyte with 1,8%, with the mark of amd From the failure rate things get a little worse 2% al 2,5%,
Yet, this is not the only important figure, because next to this we have what is needed to work out an RMA case, namely, Request warranty for replacement or replacement, Here Sapphire It has no rival, it provides the best service as it only takes three dayswhile the worst gigabyte where do we have to wait 18 days,
Motherboards with the highest percentage of failures are Biostar and Supermicro
Now that we’ve looked at PC GPU failures, if we turn to the motherboard statistics, we find results that are pretty similar between the main brands. so, we see msi with 2,8% of failures, Asus go to a 2,9%, gigabyte lives in a 3.1% why asrock reaches a 3,2%, From here there are two brands that fail more, although they are less well known: Biostar and Supermicro. At present, we can find some motherboard biostar For AMD and Intel gaming processors.
Instead, the motherboard supermicro are specific to High performance servers and processorswhere it goes with a 5% failure, Again, we have statistics on the average time it takes to request an RMA. here we see Gigabyte does the opposite of its GPU and stands as before, only waiting three days, In the meantime, asrock comes last with 13 days On average after requesting a guarantee.
