BFG Tech Leaving Graphics Card Market

As a huge fan of the original GPU lifetime warranty, I’m sad that BFG will no longer be offering graphics card products. Their warranty has been the best I’ve experienced. I remember buying one of my first real video cards on a cold 2002 Black Friday at Bestbuy. It was a BFG ti4200 and I thought it was a steal for $89. The fan eventually burned out a year or two later and BFG replaced it with a then-current generation FX5700. No hassles. As far as I know that card is still working even if it is sitting in a drawer somewhere. Ahhhh memories.

BFG Tech Announces Exit From Graphics Card Category, Continues On With Power Supplies And Laptops/PCs Libertyville, IL – May 17, 2010 –BFG Technologies today announced their exit from the graphics card category. The company will continue to sell their line of BFG Tech power supplies as well as their Deimos gaming notebooks and Phobos gaming systems. “After eight years of providing innovative, high-quality graphics cards to the market, we regret to say that this category is no longer profitable for us, although we will continue to evaluate it going forward”, said John Slevin, chairman of BFG Technologies. “We will continue to provide our award-winning power supplies and gaming systems, and are working on a few new products as well. 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.” BFG will continue to offer RMA, telephone and email support for qualified BFG Tech graphics card warranty holders, but will no longer be bringing new graphics card products to market.
