GTX 470 Video card deal headsup
Legion wrote:
You started this thread by talking about the 470, now your on about your great 465 (which sucks compared tp the 470.) He mentioned cards that can be unlocked quite easily to GTX 470. Doing that though requires a BIOS flash, which has its risks. I am in the marked for 2 470's but I got to check warrenties very carefully. My 8800GTX SC is still under 100% warrenty from BFG. Tobad they are not making vid cards any longer. Actually they have stopped honoring the warranties recently. If you send a defective card to BFG, they will mail it back to you unrepaired. By the way, I'd recommend getting two 1GB GTX 460s. The power draw is much less, and consequently your PC room won't heat up as much. They perform quite good as well in SLI. -- Noman |

Had my 3 year old 8800GTX OC replaced about 1 month ago by BFG..no problems. They say they will continue to honor warrenties. Did you get a RMI (forgot the request name)from them with a number before you sent the card back? It's a more recent development. They won't give you a replacement or repair the card now. -- Noman |
