    Gigabyte GTX 460 1GB, this one any good?

    I have the same Corsair 520 mated with a Q6600, 3 gig of ram, one HD, one DVD drive, 3 120 mm case fans, and a MSI Cyclone 1 gig...works great! MSI Cyclone runs 32 ^C at idle, 34-45 C light chores and have yet to see the video card hit 60 C under heavy loads (ambient around 77 F). I am running...

    BFGTech Exits Graphics

    You've done a great job representing BFG Jeff ,and interfacing with many of the BFG end-users here @ [H]forums. I shall never forget the free PCI card trade-in for old AGP cards. Simply unheard of in the VC industry. Again, Jeff, thanks! I wish for you and what remains of BFG the best!

    BFGTech Exits Graphics

    Sad, sad, day. BFG has been a 'staple' vid card in many of my builds. Their "ThermoIntelligence" designs were particularly noteworthy! My son's BFG 8800 GT OCX is still kickin arse and taking names after two years of hard use. And BFG's rep, Jeff Kozlowski, was always available on the [H]OCP...

    One ofthe largest threads on hardocp is as follows: http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1276019&page=40 Lots of stuff on the 3850 series of card - if you have the time to spare.

    Agp card ATI Sap. HD3850

    I tried the Crysis demo and the best I could do was medium settings with no AA and no AF, to get halfway decent framerates. The single core processor will not fully unleash this card. D865 PERLL Intel motherboard and 2 Gig of ram. I do have a lot of overhead on the machine though with...

    Agp card ATI Sap. HD3850

    I have the same processor as you and upgraded to the 3850 over a year ago when it was selling for over $200 and replaced a VisionTek 1950. The 3850 is faster and runs much cooler and the card will throttle down when running 2D. Its a much better deal now at almost half what I paid. Yes, your...

    BFG Offers FREE Upgrade To PCI Express

    Good to know, and thanks for clearing this up! The card I received (9600GTOC) certainly looks new...I was just led a little astray by the message on the static bag yellow seal. Any advice on registering these cards since they do not come with a 'sales receipt'?

    BFG Offers FREE Upgrade To PCI Express

    Ditto. The electrostatic bag the card came shipped in was sealed with a yellow sticker reading, “Bag RESEALED after QC inspection”, so this card is probably a “refurb”. But I’m not going to “look a gift horse in the mouth” and “beggars can’t be choosers”. The card appeared to be in good shape...

    BFG Offers FREE Upgrade To PCI Express

    From 2003 through 2005, I purchased 4 BFG, AGP cards, 2 FX5900s, a 6800GT, and a 7800GS. One of the 5900s cratered, and BFG through the RMA process replaced it with a 5950…needless to say, I was very pleased, not only in the speed of the RMA return, but that I ended up with a better card. This...

    The HD 3850 AGP User Experience

    Ditto on the slow RAM modules...and the HSF looks real "retro"...and the price, LOL! It looks like this card was put out more as an "after thought", rather than a real contender.

    The HD 3850 AGP User Experience

    Anybody seen one of these in the wild - VisionTek 3850 AGP? http://www.visiontek.com/products/cards/retail/3850_512_AGP.html Google shows only the following: http://www.nextag.com/VisionTek-VisionTek-Radeon-HD-607852127/prices-html

    The HD 3850 AGP User Experience

    If you are using 1280 x1024 or lesser resolutions, with your setup I would recommend the 1950 Pro, provided you can find one that has been "gently" used. The downside...if it croaks, you've lost $55 because ATI branded card warranties are not transferable. The 3850 would be significantly...

    Nvdia 8800 GTS 640-82 vs Ati 3850 512 Help me out Guys Which to keep

    I have an EVGA 8800GTS 640 and a VisionTek Dual Slot 3870 512. The 8800 GTS is the better card in terms of framerates, for just about every game I play including Crysis on a 22" Samsung WS monitor. With AA engaged the difference is even more noticeable and the 8800GTS runs 10-15 degrees cooler...
