I’d like to stress that we will continue to provide RMA support for our current graphics card warranty holders, as well as for all of our other products such as power supplies, PCs and notebooks." We are being told this morning by sources inside BFG Tech that its "PSU department" has been let go. I would suggest that if you have a BFG card that needs to be RMA'd, you need to get that done ASAFP. We do not see the company being "in business" much longer as it is reported that all its remaining inventory has been moved. Source: http://www.hardocp.com/news/2010/07/06/bfg_tech_down_for_count |

It is but if you aren't running real high resolutions then 512MB is enough. Now I run 1920x1200 which means if I want decent frame rates without bottlenecking then I have to have 1+GB. When my new cards get here this Thursday I'll have 1.8GB of RAM on video.

I wish! I got the gtx 285 black after my 8800 died. And the card does have 1GB DDR3. |
