... i thought bfg was one of the better nvidia companies :eh?:

the only selling point of their cards is the fact that they are flashed to a pre-overclocked BIOS, and then the price jacked up to a premium because of that

ive never really been a fan of BFG... i prefer eVGA, XFX, and Leadtek as far as nvidia cards go
