BFG Technologies is a privately held U.S.-based supplier of premium 3D video cards based on NVIDIA graphics technology. BFG Technologies branded products are available in North America and Europe at retailers and e-tailers. Their main headquarters is in Lake Forest, Illinois.
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 OC 768MB Water Cooled PCI Express, features the world’s first DirectX® 10 GPU with a water block cooling system. The water block is developed by Danger Den who also sells it separately. This water cool system allows the card to run at much cooler temperatures, in some cases, as much as 30 degrees Celsius.
BFG Tech also offers the entry level 3D Fuzion card line, targeted at the mainstream consumer looking for a more affordable graphics card solution. 3D Fuzion products carry a 2-year limited warranty upon registration.
