To be honest, the BFG and eVGA cards are identical and interchangeable. The GTX 285 seems to be hit or miss when it comes to OCing. I personally would just go with the best price and warranty you feel will serve you best. I went with eVGA since their RMA center is only a few hours from my house. So when I have RMA issues, I usually get the cross shipped replacement within 2-3 days.

Yeah but the SSC is over 50 bucks more than the EVGA SC and BFG OCE.

I've RMA'ed two cards and got them back in 2days.
Anyhow I like them both, also BFG has 100day step up now I'd go with who ever has the best price.

Hmm, i think i would go EVGA because of the lifetime warrenty, and the fact that they take care of rma's real well. And i like the looks of the evga better.

Robillar had this decision two weeks ago I think, he went with BFG cause it was cheaper ask him how does it overclock

BFG has an extra 10 days on the trade up...

But no really, thats a Core 192..so...why?
And its known that EVGA products with a TR at the end of the product name only have a 1+1 year warranty (if you register within 30 days you get the extra 1 year)

He's not a fanboy, he works for BFG lol. In my experiences BFG has been a bit more helpful than EVGA has.
