Stay away from the BFG, its lowest price for a reason, its a piece of junk. look around at all the returns.
How does perhaps a few dozen bad experiences with the cards (or what appears to be questionable vendor practices) here and on other forums translate into BFG's 5900nu cards being junk? What sort of empirical evidence are you basing that statement on? How many thousands of 5900nu would you guess they've sold? There are other more plausible reasons that a manufacturer might drop prices on a product besides attempting to dump junk onto the market (and thereby gain the resulting reputation from doing so).
In light of the fact that BFG stands behind their cards with lifetime warranties and a demonstrated intent to do whatever it takes to make sure their customers get problems solved with as little pain as possible, I don't have any problem recommending people give them a look. I would however advise them to go with a vendor they feel comfortable with based on others' experiences and reseller ratings.
I not only second ALL of that, but just holding the card, and the packaging for that matter, BFG has really created a solid product. Excellant craftsmanship and they seem to have taken care in the finest of details. I truly believe that BFG is a gamers company... run by gamers themselves. They seem to have their act together and are doing their damnedest to make a name for themselves. Selling at a low cost, likely to create brand awareness and due to the fact that next gen cards are not that far off.
Id buy BFG in a heartbeat again... then again, I wont have to cuz the card I have now rocks.
