Listening to it now myself, so will add my thoughts later.

In a bit of a surprise to us, AMD and Origin PC wanted to come in together for episode 231 of the No BS Podcast. As you may recall, this is surprising considering that last October, Origin PC’s Co-founder and CEO Kevin Wasielewski announced that it would be dropping AMD graphics cards from its systems

I tweeted Roy straight after watching this, late last night. I've not seen him speak like this much before, but he comes across as such a genuine bloke and he's so passionate about AMD and the enthusiast market (and gaming!) that it's infectious. My respect for him after watching this has gone through the roof. Glad AMD have him :)
 
Origin PC isn't the only one who has complained about AMD card reliability in the past.

In the field rates are not too different and that's the important one - though in-house failure rates shouldn't be so disparate for sure.

I've wondered for ages how the breakdown is between different vendors e.g. MSI, HIS, ASUS, EVGA etc etc. Though I don't know if that'd be best done as a per-GPU or a total (e.g. MSI will have taken a hit on totals after their sleeve bearing fan oil issues, but looking at single cards probably not enough of a problem as it was spread across their whole range and not everyone suffered.)

Edit: Did they say anything interesting? Got a few mins in and got bored.
