BFG Technologies was an American manufacturer of computer hardware , best known for its Nvidia -based motherboards and graphics cards . The managing director of the company, which was founded in 2002, was Scott Herkelman until it was dissolved. It should be emphasized that BFG Tech was one of the first companies to offer lifetime guarantees on all graphics products and also to provide free, expert technical support. The company was the first to sell factory overclocked graphics cards to provide high performance to computer enthusiasts.

The manufacturer mainly produced graphics cards from Nvidia , mainboards and high-performance power supplies . BFG also manufactured computer cases , coolers , cables and mouse pads . The company has received several awards in all representative categories.

In January 2009 BFG Technologies started its desktop computer line "Phobos". A special feature of these systems offer a touch screen for system control as well as a water cooling company Cool IT for Intel - processors .

In May 2010, BFG Technologies announced that it would withdraw from the graphics card market until further notice. The reason given is that the market is simply no longer profitable for the company.

"After eight years of providing innovative, high-quality graphics cards to the market, we regret to say that this category is no longer profitable for us, although we will continue to evaluate it going forward."

- John Slevin, Chairman BFG

In mid-August 2010, the processing of warranty cases was stopped. In September 2010 the company was finally dissolved.
