I'm looking to upgrade my GPU from a 3060 to a 9070XT, and I want to make sure I choose a reliable brand since I won't be upgrading again for at least five years. I've read that some brands, like Gigabyte, might cause issues with game crashes. Here are the options available to me: Sapphire Nitro+ 16GB, Sapphire Pulse 16GB, XFX Swift 16GB, ASUS TUF 16GB, and Powercolor Hellhound 16GB. Any recommendations based on long-term use?

Honestly, all of these options should treat you well, but I'd steer clear of the Nitro+ due to its newer 16-pin power connector. Just a heads up, that connector can be a bit tricky and has a reputation for being fragile. So, if you're looking for something reliable, maybe go for one of the other models that use the more standard 8-pin connectors.
Which one do you think is the best overall in terms of performance and price?
