Interesting, it seems like everytime someone brings up XFX, there seems to be a onslaught of .."I heard that...is bad" or "it's garbage..." or as someone puts it "walmart crap cards.." and here's a good one "...basically regarded as a junk brand around these parts--something you could find at a local store" oh my god!! you bought that at a store??!? ewww (turns up nose)
Seems like most responses that trash a certain brand is mostly hearsay and provides no proof. These "legends" are spread through threads like this with 90% of the information opinions and not actual stats. I will be doubtful until someone here shows me proof that one brand such as XFX is worst than others. How is it worst than another. Please dont post with a ..." I had a friend... yada yada." and please dont blame the mfg for card failure when you push it out of specs (as someone have posted in the past).
Come to think of it, I have never had any video card fail nor do I know anyone who has dating back to the triden cards.
