I think they make fantastic cards, aesthetically they're more often than not superior; especially with their hall of fame edition cards. In terms of performance compared to other manufacturers, they are on par. Some of their lower end cards perform worse, some of their higher end cards perform better

They are pretty good imo because their cards are cheap and the build quality doesn't seem to be bad.

So should I go for it? The thing is the warranty is only 1 year...

 

 

EDIT: I think it's 3 years, not sure.

How much is it and what website are you looking at for the pricing? The warranty depends on your region go to Support located on the bottom after selecting your region and click on product warranty.

It doesn't really matter what card you get, it's a 770 and it will perform like a 770. Go and watch the 2 videos linus has posted on aftermarket coolers, find which one you like the performance+look of most, and buy it.

 

They wouldn't sell the cards to thousands of people if they were absolute worthless piles of junk (or maybe they would but I doubt it)

They are all going to be the same chip. I have a galaxy reference 680 and asus reference 680 and the galaxy actually is slightly better (only because the asus has some coil whine). Both perform on par with each other though. I say go for it! Not enough galaxy cards in builds.

Their cards are engineered really good and they perform the same and OC very well but support for their cards are lacking. Drivers on their site are outdated and they don't answer your e-mails, or at least mine. I have had the 660ti 3Gb GC for the past 10 months now and i have not had a single problem. That being said, i would not buy from them again but only because of their terrible support.

It's a 400$ graphics card from a popular company, of course it's going to be well built lol
