Early 4870s didn't have issues with qimonda GDDR5 degrading?
The GSOD issue on 5870?
Desktop corruption on Tahiti? I sent in an rma for this one before I found out that it was a common software issues.
Black screen issues on r9 290x?
Yeah, neither amd or nvidia has a perfect track record. Stop being such a fanboy.

Was it the Qimonda GDDR5 degrading on the 48xx that caused the failures? I thought there was a problem with the reference VRM deisgn... I've got a non-reference 4890 with qimonda.
nVidia had bumpgate, but I never see their recent stuff on the market as defective. ATI/AMD OTOH, plenty of cards, not to mention their shoddy laptop chipsets (4200) which were just as shoddy as nVidia MCP and are failing en masse.
I don't recall any failures due to vrms. The only thing that I do remember is ocp kicking in with OCCT. AMD's reference designs always seem well done.
IIRC it was just the first gen GDDR5
What does it matter? I've seen a lot of people on the forums sending cards in for an rma over those software issues. Thats the topic that you bought up, rmas.
I'm also not convinced that all of the black screen issues on early 290x are software related.
