Are there any reputable vendors out there nowadays? I hope to keep my EVGA 3090 for as long as possible, but don't know where to turn when I eventually upgrade... Maybe just buy a card from another vendor and re-do the thermal paste myself?

So here's the thing, really: there's a lot of companies that make good hardware.

The problem is there's not a single remaining AIB that has above shit-tier support if something goes wrong. They're all fucking awful to deal with, slow, and just suck. See: the recent ASUS support kerfuffle, except it's not just ASUS so much as every vendor in those same spaces.

EVGA is missed because their warranty support team was fucking stellar in a universe of otherwise wet diapers.

I loved that gamer's nexus video that had behind the scenes view of EVGA's repair process. They were capable of changing GPU chips when necessary.
