Asus gtx 275 or BFG gtx 275?

BFG's lifetime warranty still applies even when using aftermarket cooling solutions or overclocking your card. I'd say the 20#'s is worth it for that peace of mind alone.

I'm sorry, I didn't know BFG's warranty didn't cover those conditions. It's been 2 years or so since my brother RMA'd his 6600GT cards to BFG, and they covered his despite them having been overclocked. I guess their warranty has changed...

well considering asus advertises its card along with the following statesments:

• ASUS Gamer OSD: Real-time overclocking, benchmarking and video capturing in any PC game!

• ASUS Smart Doctor: Your intelligent hardware protection and overclocking tool.


i would have thought its warranty covered oc the card, so whats your stance people?

None whatsoever. Unless maybe you bios flashed it afterwards.

BFG's warranty policy is officially gay-ass

Maybe spend $40 dollars more instead of $20 and buy an XFX card? LOL

Agreed. Also, eVGA has a great support staff on duty 24/7. Those two companies are tops in my book, not just because of the warranties they offer, but the additional support. Oh, and what you said about eVGA not covering all their products with the lifetime warranty any longer - tis true, but you have to know how to spot the ones that are and are not. -AR suffixed cards are lifetime, -TR suffixed cards are 1-year.

And of those suffixes, only -AR and -TR currently apply to video cards

One key thing about ASUS Europe is their warranty program, where you are actually directed to first take it in for service at the place of purchase or an approved service agent, if one is available. Only after that process do they accept RMA's, however their process is a little different... They ship replacement products to you first and ask that the "defective" item be returned to them for testing. If it turns out during their testing that the problem was caused by anything other than a manufacturer defect, you will be charged full price for the replacement card as well as a "Service Fee" for the inspection of the card you sent them.

Nice huh? Full details here: http://support.asus.com/repair/rep [...] uage=en-us
