leimrod Posted December 11, 2006 Posted December 11, 2006 I mean their reputation alone would sell them even if they only slapped on there own HSF and made a few tweaks to the BIOS. I'd like to see a DFI mobo with a DFI gfx card where you can configure the BIOS through the mobos BIOS. Is there a reason they don't make them like other brands who do motherboards and gfx cards?

shatteredsteel Posted December 11, 2006 Posted December 11, 2006 Because they concentrate on making a [email protected] motherboard... I've noticed over the years that I've been building computers that motherboard manufacturers that move into graphics cards have made a standard card at best. plus that is another drain on thier design team...

Polizei Posted December 11, 2006 Posted December 11, 2006 True, but judging by the aura around eVGA and their 680i board, I think eVGA is the exception - great videocards and a decent motherboard atleast. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuoficr Posted December 11, 2006 Posted December 11, 2006 afaik DFI did make GPU's at one point in time, but stopped to concentrate on motherboards. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
p0tter Posted December 11, 2006 Posted December 11, 2006 No point, Most Nvidia card are made by nvidia and sold and rebadged. I do not know any company that engineers nvidia based cards. Evga is basically using the referrance 680i nvidia board (as is ECS). Evga does offer good customer support, which may put them ahead of other manuf As for ATI, not sure.

dr_bowtie Posted December 11, 2006 Posted December 11, 2006 EVGA is nvidia's parent company.... I have a DFI video card... I think it's a AGP 2x's or 4x's not sure right now...but they did make them...and it was a nvidia gpu... Coarse a Lanparty video card would probably kick all other cards to the curb and then all the other companies would start whining about how unfair it is...?

Angry_Games Posted December 11, 2006 Posted December 11, 2006 Why don't DFI do graphics cards? because there ain't no money in it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calvintang Posted December 11, 2006 Posted December 11, 2006 because there ain't no money in it hows that? if they make a high end card, im sure there would be people buying it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gipse Posted December 11, 2006 Posted December 11, 2006 hows that? if they make a high end card, im sure there would be people buying it. I might be wrong, but I think DFI is making the "big" money with OEM/industrial products. These outstanding OC-boards, like Lanparty/Infinity, are just a small bonus; but I might totally wrong... Just my thoughts when comparing other (big) brands with DFI. Gipse Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thraxz Posted December 11, 2006 Posted December 11, 2006 I thought that DFI just STOPPED making all the basic OEM boards to concentrate on the lanparty/infinity big OC boards... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenix-Dark Posted December 11, 2006 Posted December 11, 2006 Most of those OEM boards are made by Foxconn and ECS. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thraxz Posted December 11, 2006 Posted December 11, 2006 ASUS made a TON of the old OEM P4 boards... I dunno if that still is the case. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
