PowerColor Brand

[FameLess]

Does anyone know if PowerColor is a decent Brand? They manufacture in AMD GPU.

I've personally never heard of them until this post. I would stick with well known and trusted brands - Gigabyte, MSI, ASUS, Sapphire, etc

I think they're second-rate, but in reality is that, that bad? also, here's reddit's answer: https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/2god5p/is_powercolor_a_good_amd_brand/

I have a powercolor r9 380 4gb gpu. Overclocked it since day one and hasn't given me any issues. I believe it's been around 8 or 9 months now. It's not the greatest high end brand name but it works

Powercolor has actually been around for years. I remember seeing them make previous GPUs when it was still nVidia vs ATI (before AMD bought ATI). They also make PSUs. They're more of a 2nd tier brand, but I haven't heard or read anything overly negative about them. They primarily compete against Sapphire in the GPU market.

PowerColor has been around for years, maybe 6-7 years. I remember their cards from back in the day but I think they are a small manufacturer.

"Founded: 1997"

So... I guess even longer, but they have always been small.

I'm sure they been around for years. I was stating that I've had mine 8-9 months.
