Customer Reviews

Very disappointed with the heating issue
The GTX280 is a powerful card you will enjoy using when rendering 3D environments like games such as World of Warcraft or other graphics intensive work.

However, I do not recommend buying a BFG tech card. I have it and it constantly overheats if my cabinet is closed. I need to have the cabinet open in a well ventilated area for the PC to work. Otherwise Windows (Vista) blue screens the second you do anything graphics intensive. I have a state of the art Silverstone Full-Tower Aluminum Case BTW so the case is not the issue.

I have learned my lesson. Pay 20% extra and stick with XFX cards.

Nice card but I'm disappointed with Amazon.
This review is more toward the product coming from Amazon than the card itself. The card itself so far seems to be fine and work ok even though I have only had it for a day. What does concern me is that when I got the product it was shrink wrapped but once I opened it I found that the anti-static bag seal had 2 other broken seals under it. This card seems like it is not new but was sold as new. It wasn't dirty but did have dust and fingerprints on it. Very disappointing when you are paying over $400 for a item and it looks like it was already used. I registered the card and it has a lifetime warranty so I decided to keep it rather than go through the hassle of getting another since it seems ok.

Bad card, bad support from BFG
I had to send this card back for replacement not once but twice. Turns out that it has a tendency to overheat.
I tried talking to BFG about the problems but they weren't interested in hearing about it. They eventually agreed that I would be better off buying from some other manufacturer since they couldn't help with the problem
