Gtx 260 216 core Evga SC or maxcore oc2 bfg?

I like BFG better since they have 100 days in stead of 90 days step up, and its also very hassle free, all you need to do is send the card, while with the EVGA the contract states that you need to put everything back with the card in order to send it to them or they will send it back.

Also I found from personal experience, when I comapred a 260 EVGA Superclocked+ to a stock BFG 260 GTX, the BFG clocked higher than the EVGA one, while the EVGA 1 started showing artifacts even when I overclocked it to FTW...which isn't too big of a oc. The BFG 260 I managed to get to 700 core

it sucks, I used it just use RivaTuner, its much easier and I'd put my trust in it more than EVGA's utility, BFG's and Nvidia's Control Panel

I honestly had such a bad experience talking to the techs from EVGA they really talked down to you. Also their step up program is soo linear its like they are going out of their way to make sure you don't step up, everything needs to be perfect!

While with BFG all they need is a working card. Also BFG offers 24/7 tech support even on Holidays, I dunno if EVGA has the same thing and also on holidays.

EVGA does give you a cooler sticker though

I contacted them for the temps of the card, and also for the step up program. Its more of a hassle when you step up from them then it is from BFG.

EVGA tells you to include absolutly everythign that came with the card and put it back in the box, while BFG just tells you to keep everything and send in the card.

So I can assume that EVGA either just resells the card as new and/or as refurbished. Although I think BFG does the same, but they aren't cheap bastards like EVGA

They are both good companies never had any probs with the cards themselves other than the EVGAs artifacting at much lower clocks than the BFGs, that could've been the luck of the card though.

I'd go for BFG, but thats my opinion.

Its up to the company you like, they are pretty much the same in the end.
