BFG, where have they all gone?

[dunker]

looking around seems no where has them in stock, specifically the 260 55nm maxcore range. they gone out of business or something?

The 200 series seems to be running short on all other partner brands as well. I'll assume that next gen nvidia cards are on their way and they are just reducing the amount being manufactured, otherwise they will be stuck with a backlog of old cards.

managed to find one from elsewhere and very happy with it but a shame i had to buy away from ocuk. suprisingly it's about 10c cooler than my old 8800gts so the whole pc is running cooler, cpu temps are down 3-6 degrees woohoo.

website updated with recent news, i'm guessing they are all systems go on 300s for GFX cards. I just recieved a 275 today, had to get it from elsewhere too.

shame as the free postage from ocuk for forumites really makes them competetive

dunker, which card did u buy & was ur 8800gts the 512mb ram version?

 

[dunker]

i got the maxcore 55 260 oc, restrained myself from getting the oc2 or ocx as i did'nt want to push my 520w psu too much. all tested fine and working great, just finished registering it for the 10year warranty.

my old 8800gts is a bfg oc 640meg.

i agree.
i reckon they should do ATI cards as well- i'd love a BFG 5870.
i would have bought one on the spot if they did. reason being is because they impressed me so much with the RMA on a 3 yr old 8800ultra i had. i will never buy away from BFG graphics cards.
imo BFG are the best graphics card "manufacturer" bar none. or should i say best "sticker putter-onner" since they all use reference boards nowadays
