Well, yes, and EVGA in general is much more successful than Sapphire, despite the latter being nice.
I can tell that Gigabyte's and ASRock's cards for AMD are decent, too.

Yeeeeees, EVGA is very successful. One is still a flourishing company that is a go-to for AMD for their reference designs, the other is dead as all hell. Sure.

I had a Zotac card years ago, and I found out way too late that I should have registered the card on their site within a limited time frame after purchase in order to get the full warranty.

Is that still a thing?

Depends on your location. In EU all this nonsense is irrelevant, many other countries also have warranties through retailers, so whatever Zotac says does not matter.

I have had great luck with MSI cards. I have currently running a GTX970 from msi and its working perfectly fine after 10 years and my sisters computer is still running a GTX275. I haven't had anything go wrong with them even the fans still work with no extra noise but mine does get cleaned twice a year at least and the one in my sisters well not so much. I have had several other cards I've installed in other peoples computer builds and a few Asus cards and have had No issues with those either.

Did you mean to ask what is the best video card manufacturer?
  • Nvidia
  • AMD
  • Intel
make GPUs.

I wonder how many video-card manufacturer just follow the reference designs supplied by the GPU manufacturers.

Call me a heretic, but I don't think EVGA cards were really that special.

As we're in a hobbyist/enthusiast forum, EVGA deserved some praise as they didn't void warranty if you removed the cooler. ;)

I know that the "warranty void" stickers are more or less in the gray area, but EVGA especially allowed that.
