Axle graphics cards to come to Europe

Axle - an Eastern Nvidia partner heading West.

Eastern graphics card partner for Nvidia, Axle, is due to jump from its predominant China, Hong Kong, Korea and Malaysian market base and will set up camp in the land of Germany come the third quarter of this year. While competition is good, is yet another Nvidia partner really what we need? However, having said that, Zotac has successfully done it since just last year.

The Hong Kong based business makes the usual standard sticker re-branded partner cards, as well as overclocked and unique cooling products where it can and over a Sushi dinner (yea, I couldn't help but drop that in) bit-tech was told by Willy Wong, Director of Axle, that the company also aims for very low prices too. We can't argue with that.

We pressed but were told it was too early to say what products will be launched first over here, and even if the box design and package will mirror that of the Asian markets.

Care for another Nvidia partner, or do you already have your preferred choice? Or is it simply whatever is cheapest? Let us know your thoughts in the forums.

Oh my, what an unfortunate name. And he goes by Willy?..

Isn't the company Palit new to this as well? Their cards look cool at least. If Axle pulls off something weird, like transparent PCB, or all cards $50 less than everyone else, It'll convince me. Till then, Sapphire works for me.

What's wrong with the name Willy? I'm a Willy. That's what my mates call me. I'm proud to be a Willy. You gonna ban my name from going online?

It would be even more fun if it was "willy Wonka"...

But back on topic. A new brand with 'standard' design sticker galore but very cheap. Will this be in cheap pcb/chip choices and other parts that makes these graphics cards go DOA when i touch the box or explode in my expensive mobo...

No, Willy's okay, but his name, it's just plain Wong.

Sorry, couldn't help myself.

More board partners, just what we need! Lots of companies producing identical products about the same price differentiated only by how crap the game is they are bundled with!

We dont need another brand that sells the same reference cards with stock coolers, if however they sell someting different they are more than welcome.
