XFX officially stops doing Nvidia

[Nikolasz]

Gotta wait for Intel to join the party. What time was it planned again... 2012 or so?

Aha lets say 2012, Intel cmon start to make make gpus in year 2012 !!!!

Fact is intel got tech to doing gpus but making good ones they dont have it. not that i know!
Lets say, if they will buying tech from ati or nvidia that will kick they production gpus that will run over 2ghz

Not me, XFX can go and die alone in some basement for all I care. Never seen support worse than theirs.

anytime a company drops 1 company, for another, its fallout from dumb decisions. in this case, nvidia had thier head up thier butt, and XFX still had 1 good card to play.
they did, and now ATI just got alittle more market potential. very dumb bluff on Nvidias part.

[generics_user]

loved my 1gb XFX 4870; will buy them again if they continue to stick to the great AMD ref. coolers on their high-end cards!

Could not agree more. Had nothing but problems with XFX. The worst company I have ever had to deal with actually. Actually threatened to take them to court.

Geez guys...
Chill out, it's only for XFX Europe.. maybe that area didn't sell particularly well for XFX?

Onto the 460, I really hope that XFX will keep doing Nvidia. They give out great cards and warranty

"If you play with any other than me, you won't get a bite of my chocolate cake"

"Your new friend is stupid, cause he/she is good at something too, and I'm jealous. So from now on, we're not friends anymore....haha"


One of the reason I stopped buying tech, unless my stuff is really out of date. A kindergarden. A sick mingle of selfcentered mindless c..h...

[Kingcarcas]

"doing" Nvidia? wow wow what are we talking about here...

[Sn0wm@n]

nvidia is heading down a dangerous path lately

[lkiller123]

Really hope that Nvidia won't go down like 3dfx..

[Solus Corvus]

"doing" Nvidia? wow wow what are we talking about here...

Considering what lead to this event maybe the title should be "XFX officially stops being done by Nvidia".

[Johnny87au]

hell yeah, XFX is working with AMD, niceeeee!! nvidia and there arrogance sigh!

[dengyong]

nvidia is heading down a dangerous path lately

Nah... just trimming some dead wood.

[Mad Pistol]

Nah... just trimming some dead wood.

That "dead wood" is a pretty large OEM manufacturer of GPUs.

Regardless of what the reason is for this, I have a feeling that XFX isn't going to be hurting too much from this deal, and based on the recently released GT 430, Nvidia may be the only one that's hurting at the moment.

exactly ...

For me as a EU customer it doesn't make much difference. Here there's no special warranty treatment like in the US. Although good looking, it's basically just one decal applier less.

[Zloyd]

They really had some awesome art on their cards , I remember loving the design on the 9800gx2 boxc as well.

[Johnny87au]

we should be happy xfx is atleast doing something with there gpu's... XFX was my all time favourite brand!

[dexster]

whilst in the past nivdia has always received my support, of late they are really going out of their way to get me off side
this is just another example of nvidia pushing smaller niche companies around

why dont they try this with asus (or even evga) ?

(i am sure there is two sides to the story but i have a feeling this will not play out well for nvidia; likewise im sure amd will be enjoying the full support of xfx now)

[Chrono Detector]

Its pretty stupid that NVIDIA is pissing off their AIB's, I mean, Gigabyte, ASUS and MSI are also selling ATI cards, why aren't they pissed off at them. NVIDIA really needs to get off their high horse, STFU, GTFO and stop acting like jerks.

[kl0012]

... Last year, XFX started selling ATI, Nvidia got mad and told them that they won’t get Fermi based cards. XFX wanted to offer AMD boards and many gamers actually saw this as a great move and because it could make some nice money and market share of course.

Nvidia didn’t cut XFX completely off as the company continued to sell anything from Nvidia but Fermi. Over the summer Nvidia launched the rest of Geforce GTX 400 family, but they didn’t give any to XFX. ...

Wasn't this the reason why Intel got fined by EU?

In fact Intel has all the tech... Now it is just a copy/paste job. The big question is "does Intel want to make discrete GPU which is not larrabee derivate...?"

I like XFX cards, so im not sure if this is a good move for nvidia, alot of people like XFX lifetime warranty, but ive heard bad things about the support. Havnt had any experience myself to comment, but iove heard a thing or two.

Probably XFX Europe's customer support.

Why does that card^ say MSI..?
