XFX
American computer hardware manufacturer
XFX Technology Inc. is an American computer hardware company that specializes in the manufacturing of video cards, power supplies and motherboards. XFX is headquartered in Ontario, California and is a subsidiary of Hong Kong-based Pine Technology Holdings Limited (SEHK: 1079), founded by Michael Chiu.
Video cards
Originally, XFX produced only Nvidia graphics cards; in 2009, XFX began manufacturing AMD (known as ATI at the time) graphics cards. XFX continued selling mid-range Nvidia cards through early 2010, then ceased producing any Nvidia graphics cards in October 2010.
Warranty
All XFX graphics cards sold in the US or Canada previously came with a "double-lifetime" warranty. This warranty gave lifetime coverage to the original buyer and a subsequent owner of the used graphics card. However, it was only valid if the card was registered with XFX directly within 30 days of purchase. In January 2012, with the introduction of its Radeon HD 7970 graphics cards, XFX silently discontinued the program, stating it was no longer profitable nor sustainable.
Fatal1ty video cards
In 2006, XFX made an agreement to use the name of a computer tournament game player, Johnathan "Fatal1ty" Wendel, on a division of graphics cards.

Why this record matters
“XFX” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, American, computer and hardware provides the most credible route into that argument.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 16, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2734250. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1079, 2009, 2010 and 2012.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
