I have a GTX 970 in my HTPC now. Absolutely no noise during everything but gaming and excellent 1080p gaming performance makes it the perfect card in my eyes, provided you can fit it in your HTPC.

Yeah, I won't buy anything else for the most part. For purchases at the high end of the video card spectrum, I absolutely won't buy anything else.

I'll be honest with you, most of my video cards are upgraded so quickly things like warranties don't even come into my mind when buying cards. In fact, I've never had a single video card die on me in 8+ years of buying and tinkering with them, I've probably had 25 cards pass through.

I do like EVGA for some of their unique cards though, they released a GTX 670 4GB Superclocked model with backplates and high flow exhaust brackets and barely charged a premium for it. Was a miracle for my triple monitor setup at the time, I mean 4GB was unheard of.

What I don't like about them is their cards are always the first out of stock
