BFG Tech Announces Exit From Graphics Card Category, Continues On With PSUs and PCs
BFG Technologies today announced their exit from the graphics card category. The company will continue to sell their line of BFG Tech power supplies as well as their Deimos gaming notebooks and Phobos gaming systems.
"After eight years of providing innovative, high-quality graphics cards to the market, we regret to say that this category is no longer profitable for us, although we will continue to evaluate it going forward", said John Slevin, chairman of BFG Technologies. "We will continue to provide our award-winning power supplies and gaming systems, and are working on a few new products as well. I'd like to stress that we will continue to provide RMA support for our current graphics card warranty holders, as well as for all of our other products such as power supplies, PCs and notebooks."
BFG will continue to offer RMA, telephone and email support for qualified BFG Tech graphics card warranty holders, but will no longer be bringing new graphics card products to market.

EDIT: huh they make power supplies? well they must not be that popular in the UK
Is that true, about Jonnyguru being product manager at BFG Psu division?
Get out your BSD
All these guys jumping ship after seeing what ATI is doing.
Seriously, what was the point in discontinuing the 200 series?
They should have continued the production of these cards and lowered the prices.
Being in the market at a loss is better than not being in the market at all (for a huge company like nVidia).
oh well...more room & profit for the remaining competitors I guess...the market is still saturated with so many big names in graphics. HiS, PoV, Palit, Sapphire, XFX, Powercolour, Gigabyte - list goes on....
I have had nothing but negative experiences from BFG PSU/RMA dept. I owned a 550w psu and utilized the trade-up program to upgrade (which i thought was a great program on paper) and then after 4 weeks of waiting had to call 4 times and email several times to get the new PSU. After receiving the new PSU it failed in about a month. Had to RMA that PSU and after several weeks i had to call/email numerous times to inquire about delays. Still no PSU and it wasn't until i found a BFG rep on a forum that they sent my PSU out. BFG support/RMA process has been a nightmare in my experience.
