Which companies makes their cards with quality components and offer good warranties. I know XFX has alifetime warranty but how about their cards?
 
Well I just bought this card, but I am very impressed with the quality build and performance.

Powercolor 5850 +PCS

Even with my dual core and 800mhz ddr2, it runs pretty damn nice. This is my first Powercolor card though, I am used to EVGA or Sapphire, but it has a 2-year warranty for parts and labor.
 
Sapphires Toxic and Vapor-X are good models from the reviews ive been reading from different sites. Quality built and one of main "Pro's" is the great cooling (better oc temps)! But they only have a 2 year warranty.

The toxic model is kinda pricey though....

Vapor-X 1GB
