The "Big Friendly Giant" brand is too big to fall!
I like them and I hope to see them survive.

Some Nvidia Partners To Go Under ?

If you mean Zotac then they are the brand under which Sapphire sells NVidia branded cards. Palit and POV are brands of giant Chinese OEMs who make both ATI and NVidia cards. None of them will disappear long-term.
I'm not sure on Gainward, but I would imagine that they're probably a brand name of someone or other. They vanished from the UK before, but came back.

I was under the impression that BFG was "Big ******* Gun" but I could be wrong.

BFG will no longer be operating in the European region. I can confirm that 100% now.
Warranties will be totally unaffected but you will not be able to purchase a card any longer.

Glad I still have a warranty, shame we can't get any of their cards any more, they've always served me very well.
Do know any more details on the warranty procedure or can I assume it's unchanged?

No!!! BGF were my only liked Nvidia vendor.
Soldato
Unchanged.
To be honest they have been OcUK's best Nvidia partner for years and years. It's a great shame to see them go especially as they never made the jump to AMD and stayed loyal to Nvidia.

oh, that is unfortunate

I guess whether it was the right decision to make will become clear next year. If the new nvidia cards are good enough, we might not have seen the end of BFG here yet I feel.
seriously

It is but from what we're hearing they're only going to be dealing with the biggest e-tailers out there who only ship within the USA. If you have a friend out there then it's more of an option but as they've got no stock at the moment you won't be able to get much anyway.

Be better off calling them, might take a while to get through though.
