I'm in the market for a 9070 XT graphics card and trying to decide between the Gigabyte Gaming OC and the ASRock Taichi OC, both of which are currently on sale. The Gigabyte model is priced at €628, but I've heard some complaints about hotspot issues, temperatures, noise, and reliability. On the other hand, the ASRock card costs €645, but it requires a 12V-2x6 pin power adapter that some users advise against. I'm unsure if these issues are widespread or just isolated incidents. I'd really appreciate any advice on which card might be the better choice.

Honestly, I'd steer clear of ASRock for anything. Their motherboards have had issues, so I wouldn't risk it with their GPUs either.
Just to let you know, the shop I’m buying from has really good customer support. If I go with the Gigabyte and run into any issues, I’m hopeful they’ll help me out quickly.
Really? I heard about some motherboard problems, but are their GPUs having issues too?
