I wonder how many people will want their money back after buying cards based on misleading information from the manufacturer.

Good to see more "Lifetime" warranties on products. It wasn't too long ago that people didn't like PowerColor, callling them cheap & nasty, lol. Oh how things change.

If they pull an XFX then good for them... with the 6800 Series they were regarded as pure crap. Now with the 7 series and their 2x lifetime warrenty people like them alot.

I bought a powercolor this time specificially for the warranty. My XTX cost the same as the Sapphire (after $20MIR) and had the warranty, so it was a no brainer. I read their warranty and I didn't see anything about replacing the cooler voiding it, I'm gonna get a hold of them and find out for sure..... that would be sweet...
