BFG has always been one of the go-to brands for high-end video cards and hardware, and their latest opus continues the tradition. The BFG GeForce GTX 295 H2OC is the beastliest card out there, and is easily the most powerful single-card solution out there, even beating out such dual-GPU solutions as the Radeon HD 4870 X2. That’s some serious power… must be why it costs $800.

It’s got an odd 1792MB of memory and is clocked up about 15%-20% over the stock GTX 295. It’s also got a self-contained cooling system by BFG partner CoolIT, a company that is doing a lot of work to make liquid cooling easier and cheaper (their Domino system is supposed to be great).

Check out the very thorough review over at Guru3D.
