Hi all,

We have just published a news piece: AMD: EVGA wanted to sell ATI cards.

If you could post a link on your site that would be very much appreciated.

*Quote: *Desperate times call for desperate measures, and it seems that

one of Nvidia's key partners went and asked AMD if it needed help

shifting a few more Radeon cards. It seems Nvidia's squeeze on its 20+

partners has been just too much for EVGA and it went to see what other

options were available.

AMD's top brass casually told us yesterday that /"[it] only needs eight

partners"/ and that it doesn't want to damage the loyalty between them

and itself after they've stuck by AMD through rough (HD 2900 XT) and the

smooth (HD 4000-series).

(Very) Unofficially, AMD said the only Nvidia partner it would want to

work with was BFG in the States, but it couldn't see that happening either.

*Cheers guys!
