Zotac is nvidia's Sapphire.

Sapphire only releases ATI cards, Zotac only releases Nvidia cards.

lol ya ok, company definitely doesn't matter. Because XFX will replaec your card if you kill it during overclocking. evga lets you replace the heatsink without voiding the warranty as long as it doesn't hurt the card in the process.

All that shits irrelevant, 10 year warranty? I sell the card after 6 months to a year *maybe* 2. Frying a card from OC'ing? I don't even know how that's possible with todays cards (Maybe keeping the RAM clocked super high for a extended period of time?) And the heat sink thing is also a non issue, put the stock one on in the event of a RMA.

I'd only be anal about the company that throws the sticker on the card if I'm totally uninformed or not hardware inclined. Warranties are super enticing to people who... Laughing
