A rumor circling around CES says that NVidia and XFX have decided to part ways, locking XFX out of future NVidia hardware and support.
Rumor has it that this week NVIDIA will let it officially be known that XFX’s European operations will cease to be an NVIDIA Approved Partner. This means that XFX will lose all underlying NVIDIA support on GPU allocation and new product launches…including Fermi.
If this is true and if Fermi goes big-time, then this could be bad for XFX. Although, it’s all just rumor at this point, nothing confirmed from either side.
Update: Debunked.

This is for the European portion of XFX. What about the USA side of the business?
