It's marginal though. Germany based Mindfactory store revealed the number of sales and RMA of each graphics card, and Nvidia came out on top in both sales quantity and a lower percentage of graphics for RMA. 3.3% of the AMD GPUs sold had to be replaced, while on the Nvidia side it was 2.1%.
Despite Nvidia having a lower overall RMA rate, it does have the GPU with the most requested replacements: The GeForce RTX 2080 Ti. 5% of the RTX 2080 Ti were replaced, outperforming 4% of the Radeon RX 5700 XT, Radeon RX 5700 and GeForce RTX 2080. It also has the GPU with the lowest failure rate, the GTX 1660 Ti, with just 0.01% of cards showing faults.
A total of 76,280 Nvidia GeForce GPUs and 44,100 AMD Radeon GPUs were sold, so 63.4% of the GPUs sold were GeForce and only 36.6% of the GPUs sold were Radeon.
