    After a week of darkness about the unseemly row between Abit and Nvidia, we've just received a statement in which it announced its partnership with ATI.
    It seems that Abit won't use ATI reference design cards and that it will introduce an Abit engineered ATI VGA card, possibly powered with its OTES cooling solutions later on.

    Abit will offer mainstream Radeon 9600XT and top end Radeon 9800XT cards and it is preparing for a next generation of cards including the R420 Loki card and future PCI Express solutions as well.

    Abit will still continue to tweak BIOSes for its nForce boards but other then that they will no longer collaborate with nVidia.

    I wonder what happened. It seems so sudden. nVidia doesn't give any illusions of a nice company anymore it seems.

    Seems like nVidia is walking further and further down the road 3DFX took :eek:

    It looks like it is downhill for Nvidia unless they can pull something off.

    From what I've "heard" so far, it would seem that Abit wanted to move from producing only nvidia cards to produce cards for both Ati and Nvidia...
    Nvidia didn't like this, and said they'd increase the price-per-chip if Abit did this...
    Abit said "bye bye" to nvidia, since it didn't want to pay more than it had to for it's chips, and were welcomed by Ati with open arms...


    There's even been a statement from ATi which I'll try to find...
