XFX and Fatal1ty are partners now it seems: http://www.xfxforce.com/web/gamerscentral/viewNews.jspa?newsId=256380. Think this is a big deal? What can come out of this? Maybe 8 series cards?
What ever XFX produce from now on, I'll be giving them a wide berth. Try to access their forum (its no longer available). The reason: Problems with Nvidias chip binning process has meant that poor quality chips have been sent out for the higher clocked cards. People have been getting some serious problems, and although Nvidia have admitted the problem, XFX has decided to not only ignore the problem, but then shut down the forum to stop people complaining. Results: A very clear indication of XFX's view towards customer care. NON EXISTANT!!!!!!!! I'm still using Nvidia and will do so, but as I still have a choice of manufacturer, then XFX is permenantly off the list.
my good friend works for xfx. Apparently the down low on the new cards is that they are...well, quite amazing.
