I'm surprised with the effort to list other forums, there was no thought or effort put into it. I gave it two seconds of thought, 20 seconds of effort and look:

Gigabyte forums, do not have near the community that EVGa has. EVGA 30 series cards group, vs Gigabyte all Nvidia cards group....  
Evga with more topics on the first page, and more responses, the front page only goes back 2 days tops.
Gigabyte with less topics goes back to September 5, 2021, because next to nobody goes there. There's your answer.

They have less complaints on their forums first off because they have epically less people in their community. Their forums are a graveyard. Which is what the OP is talking about.

Hmm. Perhaps. It's really hard to compare data which isn't designed to be compared.
Do you think comparing on a third-party site like Reddit is valuable?

I wonder if getting off on a tangent about comparing data that isn't meant to be compared detracts from the valid concerns about the product.

There is definitely some kind of power delivery issue with these Cards, no doubt.
 
For those that say "I have had my Card for xxxx months and no issues" ......that how I felt up until a "pop...followed by no signal and red light of death over PCI-E power plug #2.......after 3 months of great use......
 
RMA was prompt.

the valid concerns are exactly that , QUITE valid ,. the comment was EVGA has more reported issues ,. it was mentioned few months back ( still looking for the damn post ) that EVGA has the lion's share of the pc gaming market , if company A. sells a million units,. and company B. sells 500k units,.. statistically , the higher failure rate reported is affected by the Volume of the product released!

I think the other thing to consider is how the cards are released not just the numbers. If EVGA queue system is responsible for more cards getting into gamers hands it's going to show as a higher failure rate then another brand who has a lot of cards sitting unsold on eBay by resellers.
 
That said I don't think I am seeing more posts of failures then I remember for the 20 series and the 10 series.

Statistically invalid basis for comparison - user forums have different levels of participation and typically consist of complaints.  EVGA gets even more due to their excellent RMA and customer service (people post knowing there will be a resolution). 
 
A proper metric would be each manufacturer's total number sold/total number RMA.

you're Absolutely right ,. and if I could find that damn post , I'd link that Information ,. will continue looking , ( I'm not sure if it was an EVGA post ,. but I KNOW it wasn't a reddit one )

9.1 million GPUs sold, and you think the tiny private company EVGA sold the majority of those? The lion's share? No way.

I think making comparisons based on data which is purposely not available is silly, but if we must, we should use something like reddit to level the field. Look for 3090 failures on Reddit. They are EVGA, EVGA, EVGA, ... Just saying. I know it's not EVGA's fault that NVIDIA's reference design has issues, but it is something about EVGA's component selection, pushing the reference design too far, and some cheap voltage regulator choices which really bit EVGA in the butt.

The most insulting thing about EVGA's lineup, in my opinion, is all the other problems the cards have which the RTX 20xx also had. I don't know why EVGA sometimes doesn't listen or doesn't learn.
