I'm not sure why they would require a thermal pad replacement. Also well taken care of cards that were mined on isn't very rare. Most people tried to keep their cards in good working order because it's the asset that's making them money.
That said I wouldn't buy any cards from China or...
The AMD driver issues stopped a long time ago. Now both companies have had their small issues here and there. For example Gsync was broke for a while years ago. Drivers don't factor into my decision on what card to buy now, unless of course it's Intel, which we know had/has major issues.
Depending on how well the 7900 does in reviews I would definitely buy it over the 4090. I'm high refresh 1440p and don't care about RT so I'm a prime candidate for AMD this time around. Not paying the nvidia inventory clearing tax.
Eh people have been touting RTX as the "future" yet other than turning it on to see the difference in a game here and there I just turn it off to avoid the huge fps drop. Never once has bothered me.
