Wait, nVidia made their own cards? I can't ever recall seeing one that wasn't made by a partner.
- georgemcbay 9y agoAFAIK, Nvidia have never fabricated their own cards, but they do design the reference boards that most OEMs use as a basis for their own cards, and they did at one point release cards directly under the Nvidia brand (the cards were fabricated by Foxconn using Nvidia's designs).
- laumars 9y agoYeah I had an nvidia branded Geforce 2. Didn't realise it was fabricated by a third party
- pandaman 9y agoI had an NV-branded GF3, which was sold or given to developers since they had some issues with supplying enough chips to OEMs. Looked like this: http://www.ixbt.com/video/images/leadtek-tdh/geforce3-ref-front.jpg http://www.ixbt.com/video/images/leadtek-tdh/geforce3-ref-fr... (and judging by the URL name it was made by Leadtek).
