...and 4 days later, BFG performed their greatest miracle yet.

Posted By: Steve McBarnes - 04:41:33 Mon, November 24, 2008

BFG is obviously not satisfied with loyal customers because they are on their way to developing a massive following of completely devoted worshippers. This just in, all followers that register their BFG cards and are members of the BFG church will be eligible for tax exempt status by 2012.

Like Jesus, BFG is performing a transformation miracle for their children, but instead of turning water into wine, they are turning AGP video cards into PCI-E video cards! All that is required for us to behold this miracle is to have our BFG AGP video cards registered and in good working condition. That sounds much easier than living a life of righteousness, prayer and self sacrifice.

And much like Moses, BFG hath delivered unto us their divine wisdom in the form of this electronic stone tablet. BEHOLD!

If any of you experience this miracle first hand, please tell us all about it by leaving a comment or sending us an email.

Wow. I seriously checked the calendar to see if it was April 1st. This is a pretty amazing deal for AGP users.

Well, since they're requiring working cards back, they're probably selling them to someone like RetroBox (now apparently intechra outlet).

Incredible, totally unheard of in an industry as fast moving as this one.

(Must wear my BFG tech shirt more often)

Wow, I'm gonna have to buy BFG in future. These guys sure do make the premium price tags on their products seem worth it.

How many of those OC cards could they have sold? Although as they state No proof of purchase required dig thru all you're box's and find it if you own one back in the day... Now how would I test it ...crap.

I am going to do it with my BFG 7800GS OC but I can't find my serial number. I sent BFG a picture of my video card so they could help me find it. Trust me it is not there. At least what they described to me. Hopefully they can find it. Hmmm I can get a 9600GT for free. Of course I see these 7800GS cards going for over 100 bucks on Ebay.

Oh well.

This makes me proud to be a BFG owner. Sure, I don't benefit from this (8800GT), but it makes me good to feel that I bought from a company that truly deserves my business.

Damn... If I knew this 2 years ago I would have spent more money on a BFG 6800 instead on a Radeon 9250.

dude wyz, you should have gone with the 6800 anyway.

Hell yeah BFG. Seems NV manufacturers are usually pretty good, but BFG and EVGA seem to top it out for customer friendly pretty regularly.

Now I feel ripped off by buying PNY 7600 GS. I got a new motherboard last year, PCI-E only, so I bought a PNY GeForce 8600 GTS at the time and now my old 7600 GS AGP card has been collecting dust.

Next video card I buy will be a BFG!

Well I just shipped by BFG 7800GS to BFG today. It cost me 15 bucks to ship it. We shall see what happens next. I will keep you posted.

Just wanted to let you know that I received my 9600GT OC video card today from BFG. It looks good. Have not tried it out yet. Traded in my 7800GS AGP card. All it cost me was 15 bucks to ship it to BFG. It does not appear to be a retail card because it was not in a retail box but who cares as long as it works.
