[edit] Products
PowerColor is a licensed producer of ATI Radeon video cards, but also produces Nvidia video cards under the Zogis brand name.[2][3][4] The majority of PowerColor cards are manufactured by Foxconn.[5]
PowerColor's ATI video cards range from affordable cards appropriate for low-end workstations, to cards for high-end gaming machines, thus catering to a wide range of the market.[6][7] PowerColor's manufacturing arrangement with FoxConn has given it the ability to change the specifications of cards, allowing them to announce products with higher specifications—overclocked by default—than ATI or its main competitor, Sapphire Technology.[5]
PowerColor products have been widely reviewed and have gained a number of awards at computer hardware review sites.[8]
[edit] Support
PowerColor provides a two year warranty on its products.[9] In order to return a video card, the end-user must sign in and register their card.[4] The return process is only available to end users in North America,[10] with the customer liable for shipping.
