BFG Tech Almost Defunct, Stops Honoring RMAs
Almost defunct enthusiast PC hardware vendor BFG Technologies may have just hit the final nail in its coffin, after it started sending denials to RMA applicants. The company was best known for its NVIDIA GeForce graphics accelerators, and announced its exit from the graphics industry this May. In rather quick succession, it also stopped shipping other products, while announcing that it will honor its warranties and RMAs.
Much to the disgruntlement of its customers, the company is now reportedly returning products sent for RMA with a covering letter saying that it cannot replace the product since a major supplier stopped doing business with it, apologizing for any inconvenience caused...well, apart from the $100s worth paperweights.

I have a bfg 260 core 216
how the fuck did they go out of buisness
They didn't even make fermi cards so whats there loss?
there out of buisness now?
This needs to be answered :O
I've always wondered what would be the consumer's position in such cases. Would their warranty just go up in smoke?
I've got a BFG 8800GT somewhere, bought on release date with a 10 year warranty - I don't really care since the card's resale value is very low now and I enjoyed it to the full, upgraded and it's now sitting on a shelf, but technically it's supposed to be covered by warranty till 2017 lol
i think its because nvdia don't release decent low end card, its where the bulk is, and maybe because nvdia discontinued GT2XX even before fermi was even ready.
i hope nvdia can release their low-end fermi card, if not another partner will be failing, because average joe sees DX is everything, so they can't compete their DX 10 card with low end ati DX 11
I almost feel like someone needs to step in and take care of all the customers out there in the same position I am.
BFG can go frack themselves with a rake.
