There haven't?

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.

I was talking specifically about mining, which is what was being discussed...
4870 issue is new, have any links?
Everything else you pointed out seems to be software issues.

Oh, you wanna talk RMA numberz LordEC911 ? Really ?

Dat are officials numbers from a famous french e-tailer, the same one which throw away Pitcairn from their rigs because of an enormous RMA rate.
It's certainly not the huge bumpgate failure but it's quite a shame to see AMD cards far less reliable than nVidia's ones.

Numbers like that only get you so far, ie doesn't tell the whole story.
Especially when those same numbers in the past have been dug into and found out to not be entirely accurate.
RMAs aren't necessarily due to failed hardware.

Edit- High Sapphire failures was related to one of the components they ordered being out of spec due to a manufacturer defect/oversight.
