I remember when VisionTek shut down US operations and pretty much their entire staff moved over and started up BFG.|

Now je_saist doesn't have a very high opinion of Diamond's current cards and if his opinion is sound, then people should be aware that any new BFG Tech cards will likely not be the same quality of the original BFG Tech. [H]ard|OCP: BFG Teh Goes the Way of Diamond and Best Data. |
That it's come to this is sad.

It is quite sad that BFG has gone the way of the flush, even more so since I purchased a new faulty BFG GTS250 and got that lovely 'you're screwed' email from their support after sending a request almost seven days prior lol. On a side note, I did a little research on PNY and they are not going to honor any warranty on a BFG card, however, what they are doing is offering a discount of up to 25% on any of their graphics cards when you send in a functioning or non-functioning BFG graphics card. My source will be linked below. |
