[edit] 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 is the BFG NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GX2 1GB graphics card.

[edit] Mainboards

BFG Technologies manufactures motherboards for both AMD and Intel solutions. Their motherboards are based on Nvidia chipsets.[1]

[edit] Power supplies

BFG Technologies manufactures high end power supply units for ATX compatible PCs. Power supply units are available in 650 watt, 800 watt, and 1000 watt varieties[2] and had been available in 530W, 550W and 600W in the past.

[edit] PhysX cards

BFG Technologies offers a 128mb PPU that uses Ageia's PhysX processing chip and libraries. The card is currently only available in a PCI version.[3]
