It was rumored back in January but quickly Debunked, but now it seems it might be official: XFX claims they will no longer offer NVidia graphics cards, going AMD only.

XFX told us earlier that as of this day, they officially stop selling any Nvidia cards. This is a direct action after Nvidia’s decision to de-authorise XFX from approved partner list. The decision to stop working with Nvidia doesn’t surprise us as Nvidia simply didn’t send any Fermi chips to XFX and they were encouraging channel partners not to work with XFX, and therefore XFX simply could not sell enough Nvidia cards.

Several reports claim a bit of a pissing match between NVidia and XFX over XFX’s recent decision to start selling AMD product.  They claim NVidia began witholding Fermi chips to strongarm them, and eventual delisted them from the ‘approved partner list’.   Seems they just got tired of fighting and now they’re going AMD only.

However, didn’t XFX release a GTX480 and 470 back in March?  These are Fermi chips, so how’ld that happen?

I’m not sure how much market share XFX had anyway, as EVGA is NVidia’s primary European supplier anyway (for Quadro & Tesla cards, anyway).  No doubt this will offer a little bump to AMD’s bottom line in the short-term, but I think XFX will regret it in the long term.

via XFX officially stops doing Nvidia.
