Would be nice if they compared the brands that most people buy, like MSI, Asus or Gigabyte. I've never even heard of any of the three they picked.
Would be nice if they had some charts and tables, instead of everything being text.
These brands cost the exact same as Asus, EVGA, and MSi. Why would you ever even think about buying a no-name card from a company that may not exist in 6 months when the card fails when you could just buy from a stable, mainstream company for the same price?
"KFA2’s GeForce GTX 970 OC Silent Infin8 Black Edition"
On stupid names alone I'd say this card will die in 1 week of use.
I'm sick of stupid brand names lmao, it's a gpu get out of your own ass
It's all about the warranty.
One of my X's went down, EVGA had me a new one in three days sight unseen.
EVGA and Gigabyte have been pretty unwaveringly awesome for years, and that's what should shape your decision as much as performance or price.
Never know when you're going to win the hardware lottery...

ONLY three days for a replacement? god damn that's sweet service
Yeah my general rule is buy EVGA, after a lot of builds they haven't let me down. Had decent luck with an MSI mobo recently.
You can't ever go wrong buying shit from EVGA or Logitech.
EVGA might be a bit extra usually but their service is amazing.
Had a GTX460 die on me (which was in a friends PC) a few months ago. It had free extended warranty (2y is required by law here) and got a 650 Ti back in return. RMA is quick, usually 3-5 days.
Even a few years ago where I had a pair GTX460 myself and one failed I had the same quick and awesome service.
MSI is also okay but I would never buy one of those lower price brand ones. You don't pay extra for real performance gain, you pay extra for service.
Also quality PCGAMESN testing. All cards are around the same but the KFA2 one had +20% max power limit allowing it to overclock itself even more automatically compared to the 6% of the others. No wonder it won. Set the others to +20% and they will be pretty much all the same.
