Hello All,
I have been a PNY fan for year, until recently when PNY refused to exchange my broken PNY video card under their standard warranty.

I have had 3 PNY video cards go out in the last year and all I got from their customer services was an attitude.

I implore you not to buy PNY video cards.

I personnally prefer BFG, (they are even a US based company for those of us who live in the US)
I like XFX and EVGA as backup, they all have a lifetime limited warranty and great customer service.

Save yourself the trouble, harrastment, and money by not buying a PNY video card.

Just curious, what are you calling limited? They both cover overclocking and tweaking. One of the companies' warranty also transfers if you give your card away. That's not all that limited IMO.

LOL @ PNY's Warranty. When PNY stops making the card, your PNY card's lifetime is considered over. :lol:

Umm... it can be replaced under certain conditions. It says limited right on their websites. :) It it not an unconditional lifetie warranty.

One thing I don't like about eVGA, if you don't register your card within 30 days of purchase, you lose your lifetime warranty. I typically never register cards, so this peeves me off to have a time limit set by them.

Heh, I am also guilty of not registering my cards. Although, that will definately change when I get a DX10 card.
