Is Gigabyte Radeon RX6750XT Gaming OC a good unit/brand?

[martinceld]

Decided to get an RX 6750 XT because it fit my build and budget, and the GIGABYTE Radeon RX6750XT Gaming OC 12GB is the one that is available here in the Philippines. I've read/watched some reviews and they seem okay but I don't know if those are sponsored or something. Will be using this GPU for many years to come so I want to double check

Eh, it's always kinda crapshoot. The general rule of thumb for most PC hardware is if it works fine in the first 30 days, it's gonna work fine for the remainder of it's useful life.

Stress test it early while you are clearly within warranty coverage (Up to you if it's 3dmark stress tests or furmark stress tests or what), let it run overnight on some looping tests, and if it's fine and temps are controlled and all looks well you should be good.

I'm running a used Dell pull 6800xt in my main and a 6 year old MSI Armor 2x 980ti in my secondary PC, if it works it works.

I'm new to this kind of stuff. How do I go about doing those kinds of stress tests? Are they complicated ?

Not really complicated, basically you would just be downloading a GPU stress test and running it. Something like OCCT probably would be a good one to have. It should be free, I think 3Dmark always costs money. That said, 3Dmark is a fun bench marking suite, also available on steam.

For something visually pleasing, look for Valley/Heaven/Superposition benchmarks from Uniengine.

Not the most stressful benchmarks but they work.

Something nice to look at while it loops.

Also if you have some heavier gaming titles just fire them up and let them run in a heavy area.
