It had been rumoured that some of NVIDIA's partners had been struggling over the last 12 months and now it seems that there was some truth to that rumour with BFG Tech pulling out of Europe. :(

Sad for us the consumer - I found BFG exceptionally helpful and their products came with the longest guarantee. RMA's to the US now?
ffs..
Supplied me with both of my nVidia cards, my favourite partner by far. EVGA now I guess, but they always charged too much for me to consider them.
Sad day :(
Indeed a shame. BFG were good, and the less the competition, the worse for us :(
If I was going to buy an nVidia card it would of been BFG only. Due to the manufacturer RMA service being based in Wales, and the continual stories of upgraded cards being provided for older models.
This has been know for a while, shortly after Hipper closed down, just not the offical date when they would finally close up.
:(
just the fact they had a company in wales that dealt with RMA's was enough for me to use them, the fact the company didnt have a bloody clue was another story but they did jump through hoops when they shipped me a duff refurb water cooled GTX280 and sent another wihtout collecting the RMA 1st !Quote:

No you're right, there were strong rumours circulating for some time nowQuote:

You would have thought so, although if Charlie is right, apparently for every 20 Fermi cards the AIB maker orders they have to order 80 of the 200 series cards:Quote:
