>Hardware wise AMD it's pretty much up there or winning in a few cases.

Hard disagree as someone who's had two 7900 XTXs and is now looking to buy an Nvidia card. If I need to pay 1100€ for a product, I'd like it to work and AMD cannot deliver on that.

The lack of a recall for broken hardware also makes me distrust them from a customer support point of view.

Have you ever heard of the Geforce 8 Series "Bumpgate"?

Bumpgate was just RoHS solder and nobody recalled for that, including AMD. Seen a lot of pictures of people baking their 7850 as well, it just didn't get a fancy name like bumpgate.

Bumpgate was an industry-wide problem and pretty much nobody recalled for it unless they were sued into doing it.
