I look at it this way..you cannot judge as a whole..you have to judge manufacturer by manufacturer.Nvidia/ATI only makes the GPU's that these companies use.Most build there own cards using Nvidias chips.Its not the chip that is the problem but the shoddy heatsinks,parts and simpe manufacturing that is the problem.
So far these are on my do not buy from again list after problems with their cards failing..BFG,Leadtek,Rosewill,Elsa.
And these I have had no problems with and their cards have lasted...PNY,ASUS,XFX,Chaintech,Jaton
On my card that just failed I looked to find if I could see any burn marks or anything to say what happened..I found that the heatsink was not even flush against the GPU..it was sitting above the GPU and not touching it due to the way they attached the heatsink to the card...only a 1/4x1/4 inch area of glue was connecting the sink to the GPU...no wonder it died.The thing burned itself up.This was a Rosewill 6600GT card.
