I agree, they make some of the best AMD based video cards and yet they still carry just a 2 year warranty and the first time you send in your card to be replaced you have to pay $50. I can say the same about Powercolor and HIS. These three companies should revise their warranty policies because lets say one buys a Powercolor Radeon HD 7990 which until recently cost around $1000 wouldn't it be logical to back this product with at least a Three year warranty, in the case of Sapphire They have the 6GB 7970 version which costs around $600. Now ask yourself, Why would I buy that product if their parent company doesn't back it up as they should. I very much prefer XFX (lifetime warranty), Visiontek (Lifetime Warranty) or Diamond (5 year warranty) in that order and then if I get a really good deal then I would go MSi, ASUS or Gigabyte which give me at the least a three year warranty (and I have to say and I know many people agree Twin Frozr III, Direct Cu II and Windforce III cards are rather good in aesthetics and performance).
