PowerColor are flawless they've been doing it for a long time now. (since 1997 to be exact)

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PowerColor

PowerColor is a licensed producer of AMD Radeon video cards.[2][3] The majority of PowerColor cards are manufactured by Foxconn.[4]

PowerColor's AMD video cards range from affordable cards appropriate for low-end workstations, to cards for high-end gaming machines, thus catering to a wide range of the market.[5][6] PowerColor's manufacturing arrangement with FoxConn has given it the ability to change the specifications of cards, allowing them to announce products with higher specifications—overclocked by default—than AMD or its main competitor, Sapphire Technology.[4]

PowerColor products have been widely reviewed and have gained a number of awards at computer hardware review sites.[7]
