Thanks for sharing your list. One of the main concerns for me is thermal performance. I’ve seen a few videos of people replacing thermal pads and at first glance they don’t look particularly thermally efficient judging by the thermals after pad replacement. I’d rather not have to do that.The rank ordering in my head:
Green Team
1. ASUS and MSI
2. AORUS
3. EVGA
4. Non-AORUS Gigabyte
5. PNY and Palit
6. Zotac
7. Inno3D
Red Team
1. ASUS and MSI
2. XFX
3. Sapphire
4. Gigabyte and Powercolor
5. ASROCK
It's more complex than a simple manufacturer average though. e.g. both PNY and Zotac make some great cards (HOF and Holo Black respectively) while ASUS and MSI both make a weak card (Dual and Ventus 3X respectively).
