5.0 out of 5 stars XFX Warranty January 28, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase
Performance wise, this card is basically the same reference card as any other AMD 6970 2gb being sold at this time. The only difference is the double lifetime warranty being offerred by XFX. You can transfer your lifetime warranty to another person that you sold the card to. I personally had great experiences with XFX in the past and have had 2 exchanges through their lifetime warranty. Both times I was able to exchange an almost obsolete card for an upgraded version of a similar card. They given me free upgrades because what they offerred no longer exists and was unable to fix my problematic cards. Resale value of cards with warranty still intact usually commands a higher price.

Also, if you get a 6950 2gb version, you can unlock the card with a bios hack. The 6970 and 6950 are virtually the same cards with different memory chips plus 6950 have locked shaders which can be unlockable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellant Upgrade !!! February 27, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase
I upgraded from a XFX ATI 5770 to this Radeon XFX HD 6970 2 GB Graphics Card and the performance has been significant and worth the price. At first I was hesitant to buy due to the high cost but after careful research and then a price drop from $389 to $359 I stopped hesitating and jumped on it. It fit in my case fine and after running it for a week it has been flawless. Went to the XFX site and registered the card for the double lifetime warranty which gives me peace of mind and confidence in the purchase for the long run. It has handled everything that I have thrown at it easily. Extremely satisfied and will look to buy a XFX Graphic Card again in the future. Finally the free shipping from Amazon and delivery sooner then estimated was the icing on the cake. Well done Amazon !!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best warranty and card for the price February 25, 2011
Its a lifetime warranty - no other card can say that (that I know of)... most are 2-3 years.

Its based on the standard reference card for the 6970 so performance will be the same of all the other cards - except typically xfx gives you added abilities through their software and firmware updates. They are constantly on the cutting edge. Other cards will put their card out there and forget you - not XFX - they cant - not with LIFETIME warranty. Thing about it - a card goes bad 6 years from now - they wont even have that card in stock - they wont fix it - they will send you a close replacement - which will be generations faster. Work this thing til it drops - then get another card from XFX.
