technically it's the same BS. it's like going to go buy a Chevy Silverado 1500 pick up truck, or a GMC 1500 Truck. Same BS, just a few slight differences.

the one i would get though, would be the BFG. the reason being for it though, would be because i know that the BFGs have a lifetime warranty with them. I'm not so sure about the XFX cards though.

XFX's come with higher oc... I think they have lifetime warrenty in the US.

Both have lifetime warranty -XFX extends this to a second owner if you decide to sell it later on- and the xfx might come with higher clock speeds. However, their support is not on the same level as bfg or evga. I would probably get the one with the better price/bundle/clock speeds.

I had an XFX 6600gt, unfortunatly the card let go.

But i've sent it to XFX, and they were very curtious, and offered an 6800xt as a replacement.
The warranty is excellent, especially being able to transfer it to a second person.
I have no complaints at all toward XFX.

However I can't comment on BFG since i've never bought their products.

I'd go EVGA instead. Better warranty and customer service.
