EVGA and XFX are leaving the nVidia camp, so probably they feature some sort of clearance sale...

 

What?! Since when?

The source is... only somewhat reliable, but the sentiment is accurate: Nvidia's partners are on the edge of failure and are likely to, if not defect outright, then at least begin to diversify into AMD boards, or more importantly Intel.

Intel, you say? Yes, they are working on a high-end discrete GPU codenamed Larrabee to be released in 2009 that is intended to compete with AMD and Nvidia, and they need board partners so are willing to give big margins to them to entice them.
