BFG bundle and warranty


The box is relatively understated for a graphics card? Where have all the big-chested ladies gone?







Items

Drivers CD
HDMI installation kit
Quick user-guide
Single DVI-to-VGA dongle
Single DVI-to-HDMI cable
S/PDIF cable
HDTV cables
Dual-six-pin-to-Molex connector


There isn't a whole lot happening here, it's one of the most basic bundles you're likely to see. There is, however, the inclusion of a S/PDIF cable that, like GTX 295, attaches from motherboard to card.

Pay £380 and receive no games? That's a little hard to stomach. Come on, BFG, throw at least one triple-A title in if charging this much?

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.
