1 word: Wat?

Source says AFox released the HD7850, a single slot card designed for mATX boards...

Isn't that an AMD GPU?

Not for people with tiny cases biggrin.gif

In any case if these guys can differentiate their cards from the other manufacturers by making them low profile, they could very well be very successful.

In the future, I guess!

So AFOX was a FoxConn "in house" video card producer for the prebuilt? market till 2008, when it sold off.

So why shouldn't they release an AMD Chip card?
I expect their "expertise" is low end and/or low power variations of gamer and "productivity" desktop cards. You will have to study European (and Asian?) market releases.

Simply new to UK market.

I could see a market for higher performance one slot cards. I would prefer to see at least one decently cooled two slot card designed to allow "motherboard" plugs to fit underneath. "Smallering" just keeps adding expense for comparable performance of performance.
