Yeah, sorry fluke you have no clue what youre talking about. The first batch of 7900 series cards have had bad voltage regulators. And when overclocking them, seems to make them die off fast. EVGA and XFX are the worst, because they overclock them the highest. Theres actually a statement out on this website you can read. BFG actually has the lowest failure rate because of their lower clocked speeds.
Either way, all the newer cards are from newer batchs and should be fixed. BFG has probably the best support around, so I am not sure what problems you had. Like pentium said, you must have had some random dumb person or something. You can't hang a company for one persons bad experience. Most everyone else has flawless experiences from BFG. If they are not the best, they are definitely at least number 2 behind EVGA. Ill take a BFG or EVGA card before taking any other companies.
If you want to see frustration, go check EVGA 7900 cards around the video card forums on a number of websites, or the evga FORUM. You can see some people have had to RMA their 7900 series cards 8 times!!!!! before they got a working one. 8 bad cards out of 9. And you were angry?
