BFG Technologies announced two new graphics cards, the company's non-reference versions of the GeForce 9800 GT accelerators, using the company's own PCB design and the ThermoIntelligence cooling system. The cooling system consists of a central Zerotherm-made GPU cooler and heatsinks over the cards' memory and VRM areas. The GPU cooler as claimed by the company, drops the operational temperatures of the GPU by as much as 30 °C in comparison to the reference NVIDIA cooler. The black PCB holds a 4+1 phase power circuit for the GPU and memory.
These cards come in the OC2 and OCX variants. OC2 represents a level-2 overclock of 650 MHz (core), 1,620 MHz (shader) and 1,926 MHz (memory), and OCX represents a level-3 (top) overclock of 680 MHz (core), 1,674 MHz (shader) and 2,000 MHz (memory). Both graphics cards provide features standard to the GeForce 9800 GT graphics processors, with 112 shader cores and CUDA support for GPU PhysX API acceleration.

pricing?
If they are going to use their own PCB design, why not make it Tri-SLI capable? That is really the only thing that would make the 9800GT worth while at this point.
by: newtekie1That is true, they re-make a card and not make it Tri-SLI?

Looks good
9800gt is good chose , for performance by dollar
Too bad I already have an EVGA 8800GT in my dad's desktop, otherwise I'd jump on this one since it has a superior cooling solution.
