Depends on the card again and if noise/aesthetics are a big thing for you. Most older Powercolor cards have a red PCB which I think is pretty ugly and I don't know of any quiet coolers from XFX. I don't know a whole lot about their PCBs though.Originally Posted by Ro-sham-bo 
Alright, with all the above being said, is there any reason not to get a 6xxx series card from PC or XFX? I could probably get a great deal on one.

I'd also look into the warranty for the XFX to see if it's the double lifetime or not. Also see how Powercolor handles their warranty, whether you need proof of purchase in case of RMA or not.
