Sapphire has been a leader in ATI video cards for a very, very long time. One or two mistakes isn't a reason to hate them. eVGA's 7900GT KO Edition had a higher failure rate than the original Xbox 360 and people still like them.

How do you feel about eVGA? And why did they tell you to go F yourself?

My 7900GT card wouldn't register on their website. Their site wouldn't accept the number. They refused to RMA it when it died because I didn't register it.

I don't dislike them. Mistakes happen from time to time with all companies. eVGA would probably still be my first choice on my next nVidia card. My one issue is certainly not an accurate representation of the overall quality of the company, just like one issue with Sapphire isn't an accurate representation of them.

True, but still, next time when you buy another videocard, you'll think twice if going with that company that gave you problems. I wouldn't take Sapphire out of my list for that issue, but I would probably look for some other company first.
