Despite the lack of evidence behind this, Charlie over at The Inquirer reports that EVGA and XFX have defected from Nvidia. We'll leave it at that.
Like Gainward before them, two of the largest ones, XFX and EVGA have defected. Want to bet Nvidia doesn't know yet? In any case, partners leaving a company like rats leaving a sinking ship is never a good sign, lets see what happens in the coming months when the pain really piles on at NV.
The really interesting part is who they defected to, and it isn't ATI. Paperwork has been signed though, and it is a done deal.
