The bundle and warranty


BFG differentiates this model for its slew of pre-overclocked GeForce GTX 260s by calling it the MAXCORE OCX model, but a closer look at the specifications informs you that it is the new 260.

We've seen the rear of the box before.







Items Drivers CD
HDTV breakout cable
English quick user's guide
Single DVI-to-VGA dongle
Single DVI-to-HDMI dongle
S/PDIF cable
Single six-pin PCIe-to-dual-Molex adapter


There's no wow factor with the perfunctory bundle, but we're happy enough to see the inclusion of both an S/PDIF cable and HDMI adapter.


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.
