I'm surprised about MSI, as reading reviews and news about last years cards they seemed to be doing everything right. I bought an MSI gtx 970 myself and it's a great card plus the cooler not only looks good but performs fantastically.

Are Asus offering good gpu warranties these days? Or is it just that their cards are setup the best? Or both? I've been quite keen on Gigabyte cards in recent years. Their coolers are great. And they actually have a repair service for out of warranty cards as well. Which was £50 last time I checked, but there was no guarantee of a repair for the 50 quid. Still, it's nice to know that if you buy a secondhand Gigabyte card, you have a chance they can fix it for you, should it have issues.

Odd, over the years I think I've only ever owned an Asus GA card one and we are talking about GeForce2 days....

Normally buy Gigabyte WindForce or MSI Frozrs.

I'm happy with my MSI 780 Lightning.

However, if I were currently in the market, I'd definitely get an Asus Strix 980 - I watched a friend overclock it and he was pushing 2000 on Heaven 4 within five minutes (excluding time spent oogling it) of taking it out the box!

These are only the top 3 as they make both AMD and Nvidia cards.
I'd rate Sapphire or EVGA over any of them, but MSI looks very strong.
After I had 2 ASUS HD7970's the CUii, normal and TOP versions.
Both had really bad aftifacts, I sent one back that crashed using MSI Kombustor.
The replacement I put down to driver issues with BF4, but as soon as I got my R9 290 it was fine again.
Love ASUS for motherboards, but I never have another GPU off them.

Personally I like to buy Powercolor or Sapphire for AMD and EVGA and Galax for NVIDIA.
