They do the same things in the US. I’ve received many broken graphics cards as RMAs from asus. They are the worst card company.

From worst to best:

Asus Nvidia MSI Zotac Gigabyte

In all my mining, I never had a gigabyte card fail. Nvidia made me do chat support for an hour where they demanded I test the card in a separate desktop PC with fully different parts, and I had to send them the specs on the second machine in full.

As a personal counterpoint - my founders 3070Ti broke and Nvidia was super good at replacing it, they sent FedEx to my house to collect it, and I got a replacement within a week - and that was at the point where you couldn't buy these cards anywhere so I was pretty impressed.
Because you paid 4x what the card is worth! I'm sure if every brand had those insane margins they would be happy to give out replacements like candy and help their public image.
I mean....I paid the rrp at the time, which was £529. Maybe the card was overpriced for what it was, although I find it unlikely - it was obliterating much more expensive cards from the previous generation.
