XFX joins ATi

I wonder if EVGA are considering it aswell. The Nvidia cards are selling alright as far as am aware at the moment, but partners are still strugling to make cash.

Especially in the current climate, I would think survival would come before loyalty.
 
Well it's now official.

Let's hope they don't cover all their ATI cards in stupid stickers like they do with Nvidia.
Takes the **** trying to get them off to watercool.

But I'd sure like black AMD cards :D

They all deserting Nvidia because the price cuts they needed to stay competitive with ATI, are taking pritty much all there profit from the cards.

ATI seem to have plenty of room for more price cuts, if needed.
 
XFX seem to do quite well for price, but that comes at a cost of warranty/support so meh, won't be affecting my purchase choices.
 
not saying 10 year warranty is a bad thing, but most ppl on here are enthusiasts.....why the need for a 10 year warranty? you all seem t have your cards for 6 months maybe a year at a push XD

hee hee

still the more the merrier i suppose....... then again will a card even run anything at all in 10 years? i bet it would struggle to render the latest windows + msn 10 years from now.
