My place to buy allow it. I just don't want the hassle. I only want GPU with samsung memory.

we all do, but you can't know that without opening the box and looking at the stickers on the card.

Most reviews of specific gpu's will show the gpu-z screen grab and that will show you the memory. For example, the XFX RX480 Black Edition with reference cooler has Samsung vram. I know because I own 2. Might not be the best 480 for mining since Im getting a little below average h/s on zcash but I dont know how it will perform with other miners/coins
