Does The Brand Of Graphics Card Matter?

There are LOADS of different brands (makers) of graphics cards: I can think of MSI, Gigabyte, ASUS, Palit, PYT, Sapphire and Zotac off the top of my head. There's probably a dozen or so more, too. Then you have NVIDIA's direct GPUs too, which they call the Founder's Edition cards.

Do all these brands actually offer something different though? Or can you just buy any GPU in a range (such as the RTX 4070 Super range) and know that you'll always receive the same sort of performance?

Well it's 'kinda a difficult answer, because there are some SMALL performance differences between GPU makers - but some of the 'peripheral' differences (like warranty terms and cooling configuration) can be a bigger difference - as I explore in this video.
