Yes, I have a mate with a faulty 4080 AIO from gigabyte, and there service has been absolutely terrible.
gigabyte are trash for quality and rma servicesI always had a huge preference towards gigabyte because of warranty. Maybe that's changing based on some of the above posts.
Cheapest (they are basically all 3 year warranty at this point, including Palit and Gainward after 2018 according to google). Or Zotac for 5 years if registered.
Gigabyte and Asus (more asus) both currently have many stories of them refusing RMA's due to spurious reasons on a random selection of products. However, since those are from reddit, they may be more in the USA rather than UK/EU, it could be different experiences.
Since Asus carries a hefty premium, but you are getting nothing extra for that bar maybe some RGB, id avoid them nowadays. Every Pre-OC beyond the base line one is stupid pricing for a couple of Mhz youll like get anyway with a decent case/moving the slider in afterburner if you care that much, but under-volt and you will get more.
