Hi,

What's powercolor reliability like? I've heard romours that they are less reliable than other ATI graphic card makers, any truth in it?

Ta
 
Ive had two x8x0 series cards. the first x800gto wouldnt work in the system but I think it was drivers more than anything or power. the x850xt i now have is PowerColor and its working fine but it was pre-owned.

With gfx its luck of the draw. I think Saphire are good but ive never owned one.

Its like hard drives etc, people swear by different makes based on own experiences.
 
What's the warranty on the powercolor cards,anyone know ?

I know they are doing a lifetime warranty on the X1900XT series,but only in the states & canada

Where do we stand in the UK ?

I've had a Powercolor 9700 Pro/9800 Pro/X800 Pro and X1800XT all of which were very reliable, the 9700 pro even continued to work (after a stint in the airing cupboard) after my cpu waterblock pipe came loose and dumped the whole reservoir on it.
