What's in the box



Quite understated packaging, really.









Items Drivers CD
HDTV connections' guide
English quick user's guide
Single DVI-to-VGA dongle
Single DVI-to-HDMI dongle
HDMI cable
Single eight-pin PCIe-to-dual-Molex adaptor
Multiplayer gaming download


The basics are all covered here, especially HDMI, with both S/PDIF and HDMI cables, as well as the aforementioned adapter.

The only thing missing is the inclusion of a triple-A gaming title to highlight the power of the card.

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.
