For $300 it's pretty tempting. The problem is I've never heard of them before. The only thing I could find out was at their website. They seem to be owned by BFG.

Does anyone know anything about this company and their video cards?

IMO I wouldn't risk a $30 sale for a card brand I've never heard of before (Theres a reason why the stock price is so low). But you get what you pay for..

Well if theyre owned by BFG id say its a sure bet just as long as the card carries a descent warranty and technical assistance plan. Try searching newegg, so you can get an idea of what the reviews were on the card. Also take a gander at google and see if this card has been reviewed by any sites yet.

EDIT- I found some stuff!

It seems Newegg does have 3D Fuzion cards under the BFG category when searching.

This is the closest I could find to the one at Tigerdirect. It's am OEM 7800 GTX, but it's close enough.

And Zipzoomfly has the card:

Look at the memory clocks. It seems the 3d fusion either slower memory, or if they use the same memory, the BFG version is overclocked by 100MHz. Look at the fine print...thats how they get you.

Edit: Upon further investigation, Ive found that the BFG version is factory warranteed at a 30/100 overclock. Spend the extra cash on the BFG OC. The warranty on a card with higher clocks is worth the $30 IMO.
