Lightbulb Quality of GPU

I have read over the lists of recommended brands on different kinds of hardware (CPU, PSU, RAM...) from PROs on this forum. But as I am researching to buy a good GTX 560 ti as an upgrade for my gamig pc I wonder which brand is to go with and what to pay attn. to?

1. What nVidia GPU brands are the best in chronological quality appearance (limit to 5 please)?
2. What Ati GPU brands are the best in chronological quality appearance (limit to 5 please)?

Anybodies help is appreciated.

I prefer EVGA cards for NVidia. The AR series are lifetime warranty when registred.

Newegg.com - EVGA 01G-P3-1561-AR GeForce GTX 560 Ti FPB (Fermi) 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

Newegg.com - EVGA SuperClocked 01G-P3-1563-AR GeForce GTX 560 Ti (Fermi) 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

Not sure what they stand for. I think EVGA stands for Extended Video Graphics Adapter

EVGA | Support | Product Warranty
