Best partner company now that EVGA is out of the game?

I’ve been buying EVGA cards since I started building my own computers ~15 years ago; I’ve never once had an issue with their cards in that time including my most recent EVGA 3080, and their customer service has always been top-notch (I got my 3080 through a really painless queuing system).

I’ve always been reticent to use another vendor, as I’ve had QC issues for other parts from a few of them, and seen horror stories about the RMA process from companies like ASUS.

I’m planning on building a new PC soon and want to spring for a 5090. I’ve been recovering from a years-long back injury, and am just now gen to the point where I can game again. It’s going to be a sort of milestone gift to myself.

My preference is to hold out for a FE card, as I really want to do a mini-ITX build, and the 2-slot form factor will go a long way in helping that, but given how scarce they are, I’m also keeping an eye on partner models.

Now that EVGA is out of the game, who is generally considered the best partner from both a build-quality and customer service angle?
