BFG Tech: We're Done with Graphics Cards

I was wondering if Nvidia-exclusive card manufacturers would be affected by Fermi's lateness and high energy consumption 🙁
Wonder how Evga is doing?
 
"this could be a polite way of BFG announcing that--at this point in time--revenue just isn't possible using the current crop of Nvidia chips."

i.e. Were scared of having to RMA all those Factory-OC'd Fermi cards once they cook.

Yeah BFG and EVGA are two of the best because of warranty, service and step up programs.
 
BFG Tech has 7 cards at newegg and only 1 of those is a high performance card (but it's sold out). I think this has been in the works for a while.

I am an nvidia fanboy who owns a 5850 right now. Fermi just wasn't ready. You can debate back and forth about Fermi vs the 5000 series as far as heat, performance, power consumption, etc.

This is proof number one that nvidia really missed the target on Fermi. The biggest failure a business is designing something so poorly it puts people out of business. (not that BFG is out of business, but a big part of that business has failed)
 
I have always bought BFG Tech cards and they have been awesome to me.

However there decision to stop makes sense. No one wants to pay for Nvidia's overpriced Fermi crap. ATI cards can match the performance in almost every case at a far lesser price. Why people would still buy NVIDIA is beyond me.

Even XFX now sells ATI cards when they used to be exclusive NVIDIA.

It is a sad day for us that liked and used BFG cards.

However my current BFG Tech NNVIDIA GT275 OC will be the last NVIDIA graphics card I own for a while. It will be ATI from here on out for the next while.
 
This is quite surprising. I don't recall seeing their name on anything BUT video cards. Definitely a bad sign when your largest division is no longer profitable.
 
Thier high prices were worth it. The support was top notch if a card dies they replaced without blinking, sorry but thats the kind of support most people are willing to pay the extra bucks for. A loss of a competitor is a sad day for everyone.
 
Not to be doubtful, but they are going to go under. Give them a year and BFG will be boughtout or straight bankrupt. I'm leaning more towards bankrupt only because netbooks suck.
