XFX drops Nvidia exclusivity, becomes an AMD partner
There’s been a lot of talk of Nvidia partner defections and reshuffles in recent months, following the low market performance of their graphics cards compared to a reinvigorated Radeon lineup. Earlier this year it was Gainward, and now another Nvidia exclusive video card partner has announced it is joining the red camp to bring XFX branded ATI video cards to market.
According to reports, XFX expects to offer ATI HD 4000 series products in early 2009. The company will nonetheless continue to sell its GeForce-based products, but obviously Nvidia won't be thrilled by the recent turn of events, which leaves EVGA as the only strong Nvidia exclusive add-in board partner.

To be honest Nvidia must die if AMD has to survive

Re: XFX drops Nvidia exclusivity, becomes an AMD partner
Big deal. They launch RV700 cards in 2009, when RV800 hits the shelves ? Great.
And I hope most people remember XFX's excellent pricing. Their XXX Alpha Dog is more of a B!tch. Priced 2K above competitors, with a few MHz less clockspeed and RAM speed. Great. Just great.
