Yeah, Newegg doesn't list them anymore and their website doesn't seem like it's been updated since the launch of the GTX 480/470. I think nVidia's constant delays of the Fermi GPU series killed them. I've never used any of their products, but I always considered them in the 'second tier' with XFX. EVGA was always the best, I wish EVGA would do AMD cards and also Quadro and Tesla cards. I'd hate to have to rely on PNY for support of a $4000 Quadro.
XFX > eVGA imo, but its a tossup. I've used cards from all three of those manufacturers.
That is what you get for putting all your eggs in one basket.
Are they still making power supplies. I used one of their 1200watt PS in my last build and loved it.
It's truly a tossup.
Every computer part has a small chance of failure. It does not matter trying to say that "Vendor A is 100x more reliable than vendor B!" because you're still talking about minuscule chances of failure. A 0.05% chance of failure is technically 100x more likely than 0.0005% of failure, but they are so infantestmally small that they might as well be identical to an individual consumer.
What matters isn't reliability, it is the warranty. And both XFX and EVGA have lifetime warranties on their products.
