XFX Jumps Off GTX 480 / GTX 470 Ship

When NVIDIA launched the GTX 480 and GTX 470 on Friday of last week, we were bombarded by the usual influx of press releases from board partners announcing their Fermi-based cards. There were two which were oddly absent; one of which was the long-time NVIDIA favorite ,XFX. This was particularly odd simply because we had seen and posted images of XFX cards a few weeks ago. And according to our sources, those pictures were legit and the decision to avoid the GTX 400 series for the time being was made only within the last few days. We followed up at the time and didn’t receive a response until today. The news isn’t good for those of you who wanted to buy a GTX 400-series card with XFX’s signature Double Lifetime Warranty.

:eek:

Things really are looking down for nVidia, add this to BFG folding as well and nVidia have lost two quite significant board partners.

Rumour is that XFX aren't happy with the warranty nVidia are giving their GPUs which says a lot about what XFX expects from fermi GPUs.

If only XFX would start offering their life time warranties on their ATi GPUs too.

AND good, maybe this will slap Nvidia in the chops with a Floppy Cawk and have them pull a finger or two out...

I dont blame XFX.
