XFX to Become AMD Partner

Topic:

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. Read more

Review Round-up: NVIDIA 3-way SLI. XFX 9800 GTX Black, Sony HDR-SR12

Topic:

Last week we reviewed for instance the a NVIDIA 3-way SLI using a trio of the NVIDIA 9800 GTX.
With the choice between Quad SLI and 3-way SLI Shane would go 3-Way. The performance is very good and the only real tradeoffs are the loss of an additional pair of expansion slots and the need for a higher power PSU. NVIDIA’s 3-way SLI is one heck of an upgrade path for gamers who start with one 9800 GTX and move to SLI and later 3-Way. Read more
