So here we are our first real post and I am thinking to myself: gosh what video card brand are people more interested in buying? Currently we sell Nvidia Cards as well as Sapphire http://www.vuugo.com/vuugo-videocardmadness.aspx& now that AMD owns ATI that means we gotta start stockpiling those for you guys.

But the real question is what do you guys prefer to buy in terms of Video Card brand & why????

I will never buy another evga card again. Their warranty and customer service is sub-par. Twice I've been shafted by them.

Never again. Never.

MSI's Twin Frozr coolers are great, as is their build quality.

It's because of the new coolers they are using on their cards. I personally would rather have evga or ASUS just because of warranties.

Asus for the no questions asked warranty. No receipts needed. I also have never had any issue with their products. The Black PCB was also a deciding factor for me for my 6870. The 6870 matched my ROG motherboard perfectly.
