Was wondering because I am looking to get a PCI video card for a customer and see this VisonTek ATI card on newegg. But I thought they went out of business and don't want to get a card without company support. Any Thoughts on this?
 
They did go out of business years ago and a company named Harford Computer bought the name. It's been back in business ever since.
 
They've been in business for awhile since they were "resurected" but they remain one of the less active AIB partners for ATI.

Only ATI partner that offers lifetime warranties though, so...that's something.

but its not a major company, so the company could go under and then that "lifetime" warranty is shot.

How do you define 'not a major company'?

They sell Visiontek cards at Best Buy, CompUSSR, Circuit City, and Fry's Electronics fer cryin' out loud - how much more "major" can you get than THAT?

Sorry but if we don't get atleast 8-10 threads in the video card forum about how horrible visionteks customer service is, then it is not a major company (sarcasm).

Visiontek are in retail stores....Leadtek isn't....Leadtek been around longer...
 
Good point about the warranty.

Whether or not they're as active as some of ATI's other AIB partners, they're still considered a major company in my books.
 
Indeed, a brief search even turns up tales of the new Visiontek honoring the 'lifetime warranty' on parts sold by the old Visiontek (replacements shipped across brands, of course - GeForce4 Ti4200s RMA'd for Radeons 9700s, for example).

It seems a solid enough brand - maybe not as active as other ATI partners, but very reliable.
