Visiontek R.I.P

NNNooooooo....

What a sad morning today......Im really really sad . Arcording To Hardocp in this article http://www.hardocp.com/article.html?art=MzM5
The number one retailer of NVIDIA based VidCards in North America , Visiontek as closed is door .

Man cant believe it ! Visiontek as one of the best product on the market. I plan to purchase one in the next month and the Visiontek Rep plan to help me in my next Lanparty.

Now i just hope that the Xtasy card that i sold to my parent dont blow up in the next month .

snifffff....

In respect of a great product , take a minute of silence .....R.I.P

Wow, that comes as a big surprise.....I thought that Visiontek had been leading the pack as of the last few generations of NVIDIA chips...

What??? How is that possible? I thought also that Visontek was the biggest...and they just got a good review on Sharkyextreme for their CD-Burner too!

I think that I forgot to put it in a static bag after I removed it for the upgrade. I tried to install it in a new system & the fan is NOT spinning. Anyway - not the card's fault: all mine :P
