Am am sure Nvidia is not too happy about this.
ATI XFX :slap: NVIDIA
And yes, XFX will continue to make Nvidia cards.
Andy does have a point about XFX going red, it does feel a little weird and it may turn off some nvidia fans but i think eventually folks will get used to the idea especially if they have a successful line of cool looking cards with black coolers and red PCBs. Most people prolly dont even remember that Visiontek used to make nvidia only and now that brand is associated exclusively with ATI. From an economic perspective the move makes total sesnse as in today's economy one has to do what it takes to survive, it doesnt make as much sense from a marketing standpoint but like i said people will get used to this.
