Where do I go from here GPU-wise?

My 2060 is getting long in the tooth now... EVGA was always my go-to company because they saved my ass a few times with no-nonsense warranty support but with that being off the table where do I go for a new GPU?
 
Every other supplier seems only to offer 12 months and honestly... I need more than that from a card and if it blows up on me I need to know it will get RMA'd...  So any recommendations?

    My gigabyte rtx 4090 gaming oc has a four year warranty. Other manufacturers only do 3 years.

    Gigabyte must have upped their game since I last used them.   A friend's 560ti a thousand years ago blew up just after a year and they wouldn't RMA as it only had 12 months.  I thought they all did 12 months tbh.  Thanks for the reply :)

    It's really worth considering the warranty especially for people who don't upgrade every generation. With the 40XX being two years old it does seem like it would be worth considering possibly a four year warranty especially if we see cards hard to get like we saw with the 30XX series. I could really see a 3 year generation fallowed by months after release struggling to get a NVIDIA graphics card. It's better to at least have coverage if the old card goes belly up during that. 
     
    Besides warranty though NVIDIA has started locking down things to the point in which it really doesn't matter as much the brand especially with RTX and DLSS features enabled. It seems like overclocking is kind of mooted for a lot of things, things will look better if you screen shot them but while playing the game you are still hitting the same frame rate target, so it feels the same.
