Major Graphics Card Brands Ranked Worst To Best – SlashGear

When it first launched, XFX specialized entirely in NVIDIA graphics cards but switched to AMD in 2009 and has remained partnered with that manufacturer to this date. Probably the least well-known of the major GPU brands, it shouldn’t be immediately discounted. For those wanting to go with an AMD graphics card, XFX is a brand that offers some of the best value out there. Over the course of its history, it has developed a reputation for creating high-quality products.

While they don’t look particularly stylish and aren’t necessarily the best graphics cards available, XFX GPUs are known to be able to compete at a high level in terms of raw performance while remaining at a price point that is affordable to a broader number of PC gamers. For example, its Speedster SWFT 319 line has reviewed incredibly well while performing at a high level with little noise.

XFX does have some issues when it comes to customer support, ranking among the worst of the major graphics card brands. This is a problem considering that research by retailer Digitec Galaxus, as reported by Digital Trends, indicates that its GPUs are the most likely to fail within the first two years after being installed.
