Lake Forest, IL – (January 15, 2009) – BFG Technologies, Inc., the leading North American and European supplier of advanced NVIDIA-based 3D graphics cards, power supplies, and the Phobos High-Performance Gaming/Home Theater System, announced today the BFG GeForce GTX 285 line of graphics cards in four factory overclocked versions; OC, OC+, OC2, and OCX.

BFG’s GeForce GTX 285 factory overclocked graphics cards provide 240 processing cores and over 50% more performance than prior generations. These superfast cards tear through complex DirectX 10 environments and cinematic effects at ultra fast frame rates. This extra processing power combined with BFG’s rock-solid factory overclocking provides end users with enthusiast-class performance and the protection of a lifetime warranty.

“As the innovators and experts of factory overclocked graphics cards, BFG Technologies provides customers with performance above and beyond standard offerings while still protecting their technology investment with an outstanding lifetime warranty”, said John Malley, senior director of marketing for BFG Technologies. “With native support for PhysX technology, the GeForce GTX 285 GPU acts as an immensely powerful physics processor, greatly accelerating performance in popular titles like Mirror’s Edge. And with CUDA technology, time consuming tasks such as video transcoding are dramatically accelerated, offering faster than real time performance. We believe physics and GPU computing will become indispensable in the coming year; GPUs limited to only graphics capability will become increasingly unattractive to end users. With the BFG GeForce GTX 285 series you get it all – factory overclocked 3D graphics cards with a lifetime warranty, plus a revolutionary physics and computing processor”.

Within 100 days of purchase, the BFG GeForce GTX 285 OC, OC+, OC2, and OCX graphics cards can be traded up to a BFG graphics card of greater performance and price, and the customer only pays the difference in price, plus applicable taxes and shipping. Currently the Trade Up program is only available in North America. Trade Up program for Europe is planned to launch this year. Learn more at www.bfgtech.com/tradeupprogram.aspx.
