If you've ever shopped for a videocard, you may have run across a company called GeCube. The company has been somewhat of a player in the graphics market, producing ATI videocards from the Radeon 7000 PCI series to the much more recent PCI-E Radeon HD 4890. That's as far as the company will go, says news and rumor site DigiTimes.
Citing a Chinese-language Apply Daily report, DigiTimes says Gigabyte has recently released its 61.5 percent stake in GeCube and relinquished its spot on the board of directors. As a result, GeCube decided to sell off its graphics card business, but the company isn't going away completely. Instead, GeCube has already attracted a new partner, and although GeCube isn't saying who the new partner is, going forward the two will apparently work together on a non-graphics card related business.
As of right now, GeCube's website still reflects its graphics business.

I don't know why GeCube has referred to this action. I work in the free invoice template and I use a videocard bought from one of their stores. It works perfectly though it is pretty old now.

Maybe the loss of GeCube will allow EVGA to start producing ATI cards since AMD/ATI stated earlier to EVGA that they already had enough manufacturers.

Gigabyte markets it's own line of cards, have for quite a while now. I'm suprised they were involved with GeCube to begin with

Well GeCube had questionable quality anyway, many aren't sad to see them go. As for EVGA pulling an XFX, I highly doubt thats going to happen in the near future.
