    XFX won't make a notebook card - that's always done by ATI/Nvidia. Hey, that link just goes to XFX's site - perhaps it's linked wrong?

    ATI/Nvidia will always make the card, then give it to the other vendors (sapphire/HIS/evga/xfx/powercolor ...etc...)..XFX will never make a card first, unless they make a completely new card, not linked with ATI/Nvidia (unless they get rights to it)..

    pb,out.

    i meant to type that they ATI/Nvidia develops it, then passes the specst onto the vendors to make/distribute them (with their own modifications being clock speeds), then the vendor sells them...but i dont you think you would see EVGA selling their own line of GPU...the EVGA1000 or anything like that.

    pb,out.
