I've bought a few powercolor brand things: it's pretty bad stuff. Maybe I just got bad products, maybe not.

Also, PowerColor= bad overclocked, lower performance over other brands.. It's a less-power hungy version.. :(

Like I said earlier, powercolor isn't all that bad. I'm just not going to buy from them again, based on personal experience. If you are happy with your video card from powercolor funkysnair, then I'm happy for you.

And i'm happy that you're happy with funkysnair being happy with his powercolor because he'll be happy that you're happy for him. :(
 
All reference cards are made using the exact same components, powercolor's reference cards will be just as good as sapphire/etc, although most of powercolors stuff is non reference with better cooling/etc. Powercolor however has a shorter warranty generally, as well as not having the support of XFX/Sapphire/Evga. There is nothing different or lower quality about the cards themselves however.


Not to mention, this is a 1gb card to boot.

That card is out of stock now, but further deals should go in here: http://www.computerforum.com/63001-hot-deals.html

That's true, if you do not consider the stabilized-Oc'ed versions. But, i've heard so much bad about powercolor's GPU-products in general..Being faulity, slow, performs worse, bad quality.

That's just what i've heard. I do not own, and have never used any powercolor products.

and yet you speak as though you do :rolleyes:

This reminds me of many other, almost all of your other posts, trying to be right, even when there are so much more experienced and knowledgeable people disproving you.

It won't have the bell's and whistles that come with other "better" brands (Asus, XFX, Sapphire etc etc) such as the utilities and warranty, but it will have the same performance, overclock capabilities, same everything

Kinda difficult to say that PowerColor doesn't suck in terms of quality when 4-5 other CLOSE friends has stated that it does. Not only once, but twice has they complained and said that they regret buying their GPU's a lot. Their main complains whas when oc'ing and stability in general.. its ok when 1 tells you that, because it might be something random (driver issue etc..) but when 4-5 people tells you the exact same thing, you should really start to be convinced if you really care.

I suggest that you better be a bit more careful before making false accusations towards anyone..

I think that's enough... okay?

If it is the reference model they are all the same.

For the new GTX 470/480 who gives the best warranty support, EVGA or PNY?
