XFX Warranty
This review is from: Radeon XFX HD 6970 2 GB Graphics Card (Personal Computers)
Performance wise, this card is basically the same reference card as any other AMD 6970 2gb being sold at this time. The only difference is the double lifetime warranty being offerred by XFX. You can transfer your lifetime warranty to another person that you sold the card to. I personally had great experiences with XFX in the past and have had 2 exchanges through their lifetime warranty. Both times I was able to exchange an almost obsolete card for an upgraded version of a similar card. They given me free upgrades because what they offerred no longer exists and was unable to fix my problematic cards. Resale value of cards with warranty still intact usually commands a higher price.

Also, if you get a 6950 2gb version, you can unlock the card with a bios hack. The 6970 and 6950 are virtually the same cards with different memory chips plus 6950 have locked shaders which can be unlockable.

Best warranty and card for the price
  
This review is from: Radeon XFX HD 6970 2 GB Graphics Card (Personal Computers)
Its a lifetime warranty - no other card can say that (that I know of)... most are 2-3 years.

Its based on the standard reference card for the 6970 so performance will be the same of all the other cards - except typically xfx gives you added abilities through their software and firmware updates. They are constantly on the cutting edge. Other cards will put their card out there and forget you - not XFX - they cant - not with LIFETIME warranty. Thing about it - a card goes bad 6 years from now - they wont even have that card in stock - they wont fix it - they will send you a close replacement - which will be generations faster. Work this thing til it drops - then get another card from XFX.

Two Cards, Both Devective
I have always believed in XFX Force brand; their Double-Lifetime Warranty and decent support always won me over. Well, it turns out their support no longer is decent.

Big, Noisy, Hot and I love it
You know the routine. These cards are getting big and generating heat. Cable management and airflow are the name of the game these days folks.

Awesome video card upgrade!
Replaced my 2 aging Nvidia 8800GTs (in SLI), and is a HUGE upgrade in terms of performance. Temps are staying reasonablly low so far even with overclosking the card.
