BFG is a brand that subcontracts to smaller companies. there was an article abou thtem on hardocp.com.


it was founded by people who used to be part of visiontek when visiontek died. most of their boards are supposed to be reference design, but they will come out with specially designed things in 2003.

BFG = Visiontek

 

[MikroMak]

Can anyone get a breakdown of this deal? any ways to make it hotter?

$89 is a hot price for a ti4200 128 mb already. I don't know how he got the price of $89. Cause it's $199 right now and he state that there's a $50 Instant Rebate and $80 mail in rebate. So that makes it:

$199-$50(IR)-$80(MIR)=$69 total not $89 as stated

You can buy it now and return/repurchase it on Friday and use the %10 Best Buy Magazine Coupon.

They did last year with my $99 GF3 TI 200.

wizards23 ... is there some way you can scan this ad ?
or post a link to it or something ...
(not sure if thats illegal ?)

 

[ReiAyanami]

if they used to be visiontek, how reliable are their rebates? or is it a BB rebate? nonetheless $80 is a lot and u pay tax on it

First, it's not Visiontek, it's a whole new company started by some ex-employees of Visiontek.
Second, despite all the whining and crying, there never was a problem with Visiontek rebates. They were all honored. In fact, I just got my last one a few weeks ago.

 

[tnguyen88]

Can anyone else out there verify this with a scan? I want to run out and buy a card, but it'd kinda suck if there weren't any rebates come Friday.

 

[BentValve]

Well just buy it and don't open it, Video Cards carry a 30 return policy.

 

[tnguyen88]

heh, it's tough to have an unopened video card sitting around

I also found something that may make this deal a little hotter... I don't know if I'm allowed to post this or not, but I will anyways.

There is a 10% off coupon for Best Buy in a bunch of magazines right now that would make this an even better deal. I found this off chubbywallet.

Sports Illustrated - Nov. 18 - p. 71
PC World - Dec. - p. 6
Blender - Dec. - p. 117
Maxim - Dec. - p. 117

Found mine in my copy of Blender!

 

[purpledemon]

just picked one up from the galleria best buy in dallas ...
lets hope they have the rebates ...

these are open box returnable right ?

also ... they had about 2 more on the shelves for anyone that is interested

 

[aldamon]

Can we please get a scan of the ad? Also, can you still pricematch if you use the 10% off coupon or would they recalculate the price and disregard your coupon?

 

[vexingv]

wow this is a great deal...but i remember issues last yr bout the GF3 Ti200 and ppl getting rebates late or none at all

 

[slycat]

anymore details on the card itself?...
rview?...link?...anything?...also, is this an in-store only?

 

[aldamon]

I think wizards23 is goofing on us.
