XFX going ATI Next Year

@ 2008/12/12

We've managed to confirm that XFX will join the ATI camp at the start of the new year. XFX won't drop Nvidia products either, but obviously, Nvidia won't be thrilled by this turn of events.

There's been a lot of talk of Nvidia partner defections and reshuffles in recent months, and some have already gone red. XFX is just following the trend and leaving Nvidia in a rather awkward situation of having just a single powerful Nvidia exclusive partner - EVGA.

We can't say we're surprised, after all we've reported about strains in Nvidia-AIB partner relations on many occasions.

Not sure if y'all had seen, XFX now offers an X58 board: http://www.xfxforce.com/en-gb/produc...ries/X58i.aspx

Advertised as both Triple SLI and triple Crossfire capable, either way XFX wins.

I will believe it when I see it.

This was the same site that claimed NVIDIA was cutting off half a dozen European distributors, then later claimed they were pruning another half dozen US companies...
