What is the best brand for HD 4870?

Well, the VisionTek offers a lifetime warranty, but it happens to be one of the few cards without a rebate. I'd go with the ASUS, as there's a $30 rebate and a 3 year warranty, which should be about as long as you use it. You can also get an extra $30 off if you get the combo with a P5Q Pro motherboard, assuming you're in the market for one.kodex1717

Visiontek does have a lifetime warranty, but they have terrible RMA service, that is if the even accept your RMA request.

I would go with ASUS. You get a free game with them too :p

Visiontek, ASUS.

And Diamond is doing some insane job with their 4870.

Dont know about warranty but they all perform the same unless they are overclocke but dont think you can get one that is yet and they all look almost the same and got same cooler.

All they do is put a sticker on and give u a warranty with these new good cards.

that's crazy considering that with stock clock the thing idles at like 80C, so with this they have to put in an new cooler if not liquid cool it.
