With the introduction of AMD”s HD 7000-series, XFX has silently moved away from their Double Lifetime Warranty and has instead moved to a more basic coverage model. XFX has been known as a company that pushes the boundaries of both performance and customer support.  Their graphics cards were among the first to receive lifetime warranties [...]

With high end and lower tiered cards being released to complete AMD’s full 6000-series lineup, many forget that the most popular market segment lies within the $175 and $225 price brackets.  Here, cards like the GTX 560 Ti and HD 6950 1GB reign supreme but the HD 6870 with its long list of pre overclocked [...]

XFX issues a BIOS fix after some users reported their HD 6850 cards running at 70% idle fan speed. As HD 6850 cards are flying off the store shelves, more and more users have started reporting that XFX’s version that sports a custom heatsink exhibits extremely high idle fan speeds.  This makes what should be [...]

There are countless HD 5770 cards on the market these days but there has been very little to distinguish one from another.  XFX has decided to break with the pack and has released a single slot HD 5770 which should appeal to people looking for compact, well-heeled performance.  In this review, we see if it [...]

XFX chooses to “skip” NVIDIA’s GTX 480 and GTX 470 in favor of ATI’s high-end cards.  Could still release budget conscious Fermi derivatives in the future. When NVIDIA launched the GTX 480 and GTX 470 on Friday of last week, we were bombarded by the usual influx of press releases from board partners announcing their Fermi-based cards.  There were two which were oddly absent; one of which [...]

As a post in our forums showed yesterday, NVIDIA seems to be going ahead with its rather beefy looking heatpipe cooler solution for the GTX480. This morning EXPreview discovered a few shots of the XFX retail GTX 480 and GTX 470 cards, the latter of which uses a fairly standard looking dual slot cooler. The [...]

XFX is joining the foray with Sapphire and Asus, preparing to launch a limited edition 4GB Radeon HD 5970 of its own. Like the others, XFX is basing the design around two true 5870 GPU’s , unleashing the full 3,200 shaders, 850MHz core and 4,800MHz memory clock speeds. It also doubles up the memory with [...]

This morning we have another exciting launch from ATI, this time of a sub $100 video card that brings DirectX11 and ATI’s Eyefinity technology to the masses for an incredibly reasonable price. While the Radeon HD 5670 will surely not be the last of the HD 5000 series to be released – and likely not [...]
