So I have just bought this https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814126122 and am wondering if this GPU that I just bought is better than this https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814133733&cm_re=PNY_GTX_1060-_-14-133-733-_-Product GPU with a lifetime warranty or if the warranty dont matter and ASUS is just a all around better company..?

I heard good things about PNY but I heard a LOT of good things about ASUS so I am kinda stumped now on if I should cancel my ASUS GPU and buy the PNY or does it not matter?

Bought Through Newegg

Well, in my years of experience, videocards either work or they don't. I've never had a card work, then the warranty runs out, then the card doesn't work. All my cards were still working when I replaced them. I mean, let's say the PNY card lasts 6 years then burns out. Would you really go to the trouble of sending it in for a replacement? I wouldn't. Six years from now I hope I'm using another card already.
The Asus card is a top of the line model. It is the kind of card you buy when you want the best of everything. The PNY card is more of a budget choice. It's the kind of card you buy when you are on a tighter budget and you just want performance.

So the cards are aimed at different types of customers. You can say the Asus is better, but you pay a premium for that difference.
 


Sounds fair enough I am going Asus then since I want better quality over budget.

I was just thinking because Asus is 3 year warranty and PNY being lifetime it would be better to go with a cheaper but better warranty... At least on paper maybe not quality of warranty.
