Which one is faster? And better in long term? Went from a 9800 pro to this so I won't be upgrading for a while. XFX has a lifetime warranty, does BFG?
BFG most certainly DOES have a lifetime warranty. They can't tell if you overclocked it, and why would you replace the heatsink anyway? Whatever small gains you might get aren't worth it. I mean, it's not going to let you play Crysis on high detail just by overclocking.Originally posted by: Gautama2
BFG does not have a lifetime warranty and will not honor the warranty if you overclock or replace the heatsink. XFX will.

Yeah i know, if you're smart enough to overclcok or mod it, then you're definately smart enough to put things back to stock b4 sending it back.'ve always been curious about that. Why do manufacturers even bother trying to void warranty due to overclocking? If it's sent back and tested in the manufacturer's lab with a different BIOS/driver, it's going back to stock. Not to mention you can always keep the stock heatsink and toss it back on should the card ever fail
Oh yeah, i didnt think of that, it seems EVGA and XFX hold their resell value better than others when trying to sell your card used on these forums. (or other hardware forums like anandtech)XFX, double lifetime warranty is great. Increases the resale value considerably..
