On a surprising move, Foxconn showcased their GeForce 7900 GTX video card during CeBit 2006. Foxconn entered the motherboard retail market using their own brand a while ago, and now it seems that is time for entering the VGA market. One question is what Tul (PowerColor) and Leadtek will think about this, since Foxconn manufactures video cards for these two companies. Officially both companies don’t know about Foxconn’s plans to launch VGAs.
