hello, I just re-read the Buyer's Guide. To quote:
Powercolor a hit and miss brand, slightly better than Gigapuke IMO. Powercolor is notorious for underclocking their graphics cards and selling them as 'PRO's, the original PC 'R9700Pro' was really an R9700non-pro, it later had a name change to the R9700GOLD . Their cards can even arrive at reviewer's bench underclocked that way.
I was wondering if powercolor is now "trustworthy". In my country, my favorite pc store sells predominantly powercolor cards.
