(Unfortunately we don't actually sell BFG cards, so I've moved this into a general forum for you)

stock coolers are never good, go for third party ones

Unless like HIS they use arctic coolers as the stock cooler. Also the 7800gtx 512mb heatpipe cooler is excellent.

It should be... :)
Given the much lover voltage, hmmm... This should not be overheating thing like the 6800/7800 are... :mrgreen: Might be even usable on aircooling, tough I would preffer my fanless unhearable watercooling to do the job :p

I have 2 running,

they are fine, pretty quite (considering its a BIG card and 512 ram on it) not silent but not a jet engine either, cracking card I have zero complaints

64bit support is non existant I had to use beta drivers in 32bit mode, but i've just updated to the latest release and 32bit is working solid now

But you don't have that option if you want a BFG card. :( And I refuse to buy an XFX card, the only reason being they can offer a lifetime warranty to America and Asia, but not Europe...

Lifetime Warranty is not worth anything really as who keeps a graphics card for a long time? You pay extra for the warranty when you would probably never use it! XFX are an awesome Card manufacturer.

You pay extra for buying the card if you are in europe allready, then they don't offer you the same deal as if you were American, or Asian? You don't mind getting a worse deal? Its the whole principle of it!!!

No. You pay more for the Warranty which you will never use! Go for an XFX. :mrgreen:
