Items Quick-install Guide
Installation CD
2 BFG stickers
DVI-to-VGA dongle
DVI-to-HDMI dongle
6ft HDMI cable
Mini-DIN-to-HDTV cable
Internal S/PDIF cable
Dual-Molex-to-6-pin PCIe power adapter


A nice selection of accessories allows one to make the most of the BFG's GTX 280's connectivity options right out of the box. Notable for its inclusion is the 6ft HDMI cable, because whilst many brands supply a DVI-to-HDMI adapter, few supply the cable.

Warranty

All BFG cards are backed by a limited lifetime warranty that begins from the date of purchase. BFG has been providing US-based toll-free telephone and worldwide email support for a while now.

Products must be registered with BFG within 30 days of the original purchase date to activate the limited lifetime warranty. Limited lifetime equates to 10 years in all countries outside of the US and Canada. Products not properly registered will have the statutory one-year or two-year warranty, depending upon territory.

Returns, should they be required, will normally be handled by the (r)etailer you purchased from. BFG now has a service centre in the UK, making it easier to receive manufacturer-direct support, should you require it.

Currently, the warranty is not transferable, should the card be sold on, which is not ideal.
