Tempered glass is one of those things that's a neat material but if you have a bad supplier then you'll be dealing with some shit.

We got a new freezer last year and it had tempered glass shelves. Randomly one day in the first month we heard a sound like ice tumbling out of an ice maker.

One of the shelves exploded. And after cleaning up all the glass the only conclusion I could come to was bad tempering QC. Which was corroborated by the repair guy fulfilling the warranty policy and replacing the shelf.

Nvidia is going to be holding the bag on this one if AMDs GPUs are even 75 to 80 percent of their performance.

The price inflation, size of the cards, and the power draw issues all contribute to making end users leery of investing into such an expensive item.

So if you can get something that's half the price and most of the performance? Why not. Especially when it'll fit in your case and isn't melting power cables.
