i remember when i had the ATI Radeon 9800 Pro (256MB)..that was another good card

the good old days

Still got a perfect EVGA 8800GTX KO edition with the ACS cooler.

Lifetime warranty as well.
Wonder what they would replace it with if it suddenly had a fall

Cost me just short of £400 back in 2007

I still have two of them EVGA 8800GTX ACS cards laying around in the loft doing nothing..
I Also still have two EK fullcover waterbolcks for them
Shame there worth almost nothing these days

They were the first GPU cards i ever watercooled

I have a 9800GT with a fan stuck on 100%... it's getting binned when I upgrade this rig.

Don't bin it. Give it away for free on here. Some people could make good use of it.

Pff, I'm rolling on a 2900xt. Everything runs fine at 1440x900, medium to high settings

8800GTS 640MB stowed away in it's box...Great card.

I'm sad BFG are gone.

I remember saving up and getting a 8800GTX, it served me well for 1.5 years before it started getting a high pitched coil noise.

RMA's it and BFG sent me an Ultra. Was a great card.

I'm so sad I went and sold it and got a 4870X2, the X2 was fast. But had too many problems with drivers and scaling in games.

If not I'd still have that Ultra now instead of a GTX470 which replaced a dead 4870X2.
Which happened to die just a week after warranty...

Never buying anything with a 1 year warranty again.

I wish BFG was still around now with their awesome warranties and RMA's.

I've never seen so many failured GPUs as I saw with BFG tbh, I used them exclusively for a bit in builds for friends/family aswell as my own setups and it came back to bite me in the rear - over 18 months or so pretty much every single one of those cards had to be RMA's 1 or more times.

My 560 Ti just kicked the bucket, OcUK's sent it to Gigabyte for repair/replacement, until then i'm back on my 8800GTX. To say this 8800GTX has had so many years use its ironic how fast the 560Ti just kealed over.

Still got a working 8800GTS 320mb in a 2nd machine I put together after upgrading my day to day machine at Xmas.

I have a friend whose motherboard recently died. His computer was old, and he decided to replace almost everything. His 8800 GTS 320MB and hard drives were the only items that survived the swap to the new home. It was bought when the line was just introduced and it's still going strong.
