Graphics cards

BFG makes graphics cards for midlevel and enthusiast computers. They were known for their Asylum brand; however, the NVIDIA 5x series of graphics accelerators were the last one to take that name. They are best known by computer enthusiasts for the OC (Overclocked) versions of their graphics cards. BFG was among the first graphics card companies to offer cards that were already overclocked from the standard recommended speeds.

Their latest flagship graphics card, the BFG Tech GeForce 8800 GTX OC2 768MB Water Cooled PCI Express, features the world’s first DirectX® 10 GPU with an incorporated water block cooling system. This water cooled system allows the card to run at much cooler temperatures, as low as 30 degrees Celsius with a normal liquid cooling system.

BFG Tech also offers the entry level 3D Fuzion card line, targeted at the mainstream consumer looking for a more affordable graphics card solution.
