Didn't really mean to say the company was bad, was just relaying a little of what I knew about their background. Though I recall reading a number of pretty harsh reviews a few years back from angry customers over the company's policies and support, it's surely possible they're completely different now, more focused on quality assurance and customer service. Haven't really been paying much attention to the gaming pc market recently, tbh.

But to answer your question: yes, what I know about the company is enough for me to not consider buying from them. If you haven't checked into some recent company reviews, may not hurt.

And you may have heard EVGA broke off their relationship with Nvidia and has vowed to never work with them again, so if your card fails under warranty, it's possible that an exact replacement might not be available. Nothing against EVGA, but keep in mind you'd be buying discontinued stock and it's surely why that particular card is on sale right now. Kinda sneaky, if you ask me.

Good luck!
