I have to say I agree with you to a degree.

I have been through at least 3-4 Nvidia cards in the last 2 years..2 of them in the last 6 months.2 of them were BFG cards and they both died the same way..the exact same capacitor blew up and melted down.Which BFG then admitted that they had a bad batch go out the door.The latest one is a Rosewill 6600GT that died for unknown reasons.Thank god for warrenties.

You cannot blame Nvidia though as they are only supplying the GPU's.The blame rests with the cards manufacturer..in my cases BFG and Rosewill.They are the ones making the shoddy parts and cards.The manufacturers need to stop using the cheapest parts they can.The longest lasting card I ever had was a Leadtek Nvidia card that lasted for 2 yrs.

ATI isn't any better. 3 cards in 3 years here. Only thing to consider is who has the better warranty, its the only thing that can keep you safe from bad workmanship.
