Re: best ati manufacturer
ASUS, Sapphire and XFX seem to be among the best here in the US for RMA and all that.kurahk7 wrote:hey guys, i was wondering what's the best ati manufacturer in terms of quality, durability, speed, and customer service (rma and stuff)
Re: best ati manufacturer
HIS cards seems to be pretty good; low temperatures, decent/low price, good performance, a bit of work on detail (from the looks of their IceQ 4800 series cards). Their rebate service,and RMA service doesn't seem to be too good; couple of poor reviews on Newegg about that... On the other had, there doesn't seem to be a lot of issues with the products.

well my point was that all reference cards are going to perform the same...lordvic wrote:HIS cards seems to be pretty good; low temperatures, decent/low price, good performance, a bit of work on detail (from the looks of their IceQ 4800 series cards).

performance and temperature differences between two reference cards are non-existent.
Re: best ati manufacturer
XFX has been slipping in my opinion, I have had capacitors pop on the last 3 cards and they wouldnt rma 2 since the card wasnt "registered" with them.

Re: best ati manufacturer
I Like sapphire, cuz their vapor-x cooler is much much better than reference one
Re: best ati manufacturer
I've used Sapphire for ATI back when I used ATI. In fact, I still have a sapphire 9000pro 64mb that still runs to this day with daily usage!
