I have been reviewing XFX products for a long time. Traditionally XFX has been an NVIDIA exclusive video card partner selling NVIDIA chipset motherboards and graphics cards. XFX and AMD have announced today that XFX is now an AMD partner and will be bringing XFX branded ATI video cards to market.

According to XFX, it will bring ATI Radeon HD 4000 series GPUs to market in early 2009. This is great news for gamers who like XFX's support and fantastic warranty that covers the original owner and the second owner for the lifetime of the video card. I hope this means we will see ATI overclocked video cards coming from XFX as well.

“In the world of PC gaming, XFX is synonymous with the extreme performance that enthusiasts crave,” said Rick Bergman, senior vice president and general manager, Graphics Products Group, AMD. “Their decision to partner with AMD and launch AMD GPU-based XFX graphics cards, including the ATI Radeon™ HD 4870 X2, widely regarded as the world’s fastest graphics card1 by technology enthusiasts around the world, speaks to the level of excellence achieved by the ATI Radeon HD 4000 series.”
