Default XFX any good?

I've heard several things about XFX, some good, some not so good.

But I've never heard anything from a 'reliable' source. I've read reasonably good reviews -- but that might just be that particular card that the reviewer received.

Does anyone know whether XFX are "good" in the sense of quality, or should I pay more for something like an Asus card?

I have only used one XFX card but it still works today and its a few years old, so with my limited knowledge they are a reliable manufacturer.

The problem that you have heard about is actually nVIDIA's problem with packing substates failing when overheating on older chips assemblies.

Many companies are replacing these failures "no questions asked" with newer assembly substates and XFX is 1 of the best in this regard that i've heard of.
