well this is what I know about them, they are a US based company and are the only VC manu. that offers a LIFETIME warranty and they dont hassle on the rma so that is a plus! Basically they are a new company that carries the older Visiontek name. If you remember visiontek and nvidia go together well around the time of the GF4's visiontek-nvidia went under. They then re emerged as a new company with a new name BFG. The visiontek company name was sold off as well with the good reputation how ever I find them 10x better as a ATI card partner. As far as quality and overclockablility goes quality meets or exceeds that of the plain jane ATI's every Visiontek I have owned has seemed to be an excellant over clocker ecspecially concerning the memory. The mems on VT x800xtpe will 630 with ram sinks and no vmod on them. You will not sorry with one of their products, honestly.
