I want a card that will last me 5 years (like my good ol' 9700 pro) and not die on me 6 months after buying it like my last two (I've RMA'd both of them twice in their life time). During those 5 years it should be able to play any game on the shelf at a good frame rate with medium to high settings. Price doesn't matter as long as it works well and last long enough.

That's just great and all but when can I get a video card that doesn't take up half my case and melts down after 6 months of use? Not to mention, doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

I've had to call in a few gateway laptops and didn't have any problems at all until I called in on the day someone over at MPC decided to change their input applications and database. I was on the phone for 2+ hours and was eventually cut off and had to call back the next day when I was on the phone for another hour or two. Every time after that I've had nothing but problems from MPC. Every call took way too long and one person even told me to have the user I was supporting call them so submit the support request. WHAT?! After telling them how completely unprofessional that would be on my part and how angry my user would be, they created the ticket.
