XFX fixed the link from my last post. Fata1ty and them partnered. Anyone know anything about this? Here si the press release http://www.xfxforce.com/web/gamerscentral/viewNews.jspa?newsId=256380
I wonder what they will be doing together, I mean, video cards of course, but I mean like are they going to be the 8 series cards of nvidia or something? Anyone have any idea?

If the xfx site has a forum check with them.

If nobody has answered your post then they dont know the answer or dont want to search googles looking for it.

I highly doubt Johnathan Wendel knows how to make a graphics card.

Anyways, the following is ripped from the XFX website:

XFX ANNOUNCES PARTNERSHIP WITH FATAL1TY

XFX PARTNERSHIP WITH FATAL1TY

Collaboration Focuses on the Development of an Enhanced Line of Graphics Cards for Competitive PC Video Gamers

Ontario, Calif., May 3, 2006—XFX, a worldwide presence in the manufacture of nVIDIA®-based graphics cards, today announced a partnership with Auravision, Inc., the master licensor for Fatal1ty Brand Products. Under the agreement, Fatal1ty will collaborate with XFX on the design and technical specifications of a series of graphics cards with a special focus on the needs of competitive PC video gamers. Future products will be designed for maximum performance and stability.

“This is an outstanding opportunity for XFX and Fatal1ty to showcase their respective talents,” explains Eddie Memon, Vice President of XFX. “XFX is a worldwide leader in the manufacture of nVIDIA-based graphics cards and Fatal1ty is the recognized leader in competitive PC gaming. Getting indepth input from the world’s premier professional gamer allows XFX to truly make graphics cards for gamers by gamers.”

“A graphics card is critical for smooth play,” explains Johnathan “Fatal1ty” Wendel, about his choice for a collaborative partner. “Since XFX is one of the few companies that manufactures its own cards, XFX can make what I want exactly the way I want it.”

Collaborative efforts between XFX and Fatal1ty will begin in mid-2006. Products designed under this partnership will be co-branded XFX and Fatal1ty.

Personally I think the whole "Fatal1ty will collaborate with XFX on the design and technical specifications of a series of graphics cards with a special focus on the needs of competitive PC video gamers." part is pure "bull****. What they really mean is "Auravision, Inc will put the Fatal1ty brand name on XFX products in exchance for $$$."

Don't make multiple threads. I responded to your other one and have no intention of double posting.

[Whyzman]

I think I have them all merged... Please do not double post!

[specbfast]

I didnt double post. I actually asked about the banner with no link on it, then I did a new post about the actual news of the partnership. So thanks, I didnt mean to have it seem like I was, but the first post was in fact, just a banner I didnt know what it meant. It didnt have a link attached. 3 days later it did. So, that is that sorry..
