Personally, I have a Gigabyte RTX 4000 series GPU. From what their support is saying, the card should not crack if it is well-supported, and you don't let your case bounce. They definitely should repair the cards if the user did nothing wrong. But the support bracket situation is getting difficult, some motherboards/cases don't provide space for the brackets they give, but if you don't install the bracket they could refuse the warranty claim...
When I picked this card, MSi and ASUS both had cards with heavy coil whine. I guess if I had to pick a more reputable brand, I would have gone with the NVIDIA Founder's Edition cards...
I have also built pcs with Gigabyte 3000 series GPUs for friends. I have secured them properly from GPU sag. I have my fingers crossed... But it does leave a certain unwellness behind. I myself have used a Palit RTX 2080ti for some time now, which runs perfectly fine, but there were VRAM problems with some model as well. As many things in hardware, almost nothing is without its faults, I guess :)
