I'm curious what manufacturer everyone gets their graphics cards from, and why you choose them. Don't care for Radeon vs Nvidia argument, just the manufacturers here.
I use BFG Tech. Great quality, my current one came overclocked, and life time warranty. Owned my 8800 GTX OC for 3 years now, it died, and just had to pay to ship it to them and I'll get it back in about a week.

I have an ATI on my Mobo. It gets the job done…
Sometimes. :)

He's talking about the individual suppliers, not ATI or Nvidia.
My desktop has one from BFG Tech, I think. Hooray for coming OCed out of the box.

The last 3 graphics cards I have had are Nvidia from BFG Tech, no problems from them.

Latest chip I have is an Nvidia, and an ATI before that. No problems with either of them.

I've used:
Nvidia:
-EVGA
-BFG Tech
-PNY
-Biostar
ATI:
-Diamond
-Sapphire Tech
-Biostar
I've used various manufactures (multiple computers, computers made for others etc.) and the #1 problem I always run into is the fans failing. Using EVGA on this computer fan totally f'd up and was grinding on itself making a very annoying noise. I actually removed the fan and replaced it using a different one I had screwed on to the outside… Looks horrible but the fan is bigger and cools it better.
STUPID FANS. All I have to say.
ps, only fan that hasn't failed me is on an old ATI Radeon 32mb pci, fairly old. Guess they don't make them like they use to.
