Youtuber Moore's Law is Dead claims this is on purpose to allow AIBs to clear out their existing oversupply of 30x0-series cards.

I usually don't do this but... AIBs? Google is only giving me Allied Irish Banks. Somehow I feel that's not what you're talking about.

  Yes, apologies! I'm so deep in the AMD/Intel/Nvidia rumor mill I forget how normal humans talk, sometimes. Tech news people tend to use "AIBs" as shorthand for "second-party (add-in) board partners" -- that is, companies that sell graphics cards using AMD or Nvidia GPUs but with their own board and cooler designs. So in the case of Nvidia this would be EVGA, Gigabyte, MSI, Zotac, ASUS, etc. But crucially NOT including Nvidia themselves, even though Nvidia sell their own reference design they call the "Founder's Edition".

  The trick in this case was to search Nvidia AIBs. > Nvidia Add-in Board (AIB) partners ... The list includes Inno3D, MSI, ASUS, Palit, Colorful, PNY

  You'll get reddit if you search aib nVidia https://old.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/4pma4q/terminology_all_graphics_cards_are_aib/ https://old.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/4pma4q/terminology_all... Quote: There seems to be some confusion regarding the acronym AIB, and many are using AIB to refer to 'non reference' graphics card designs. AIB is an acronym for Add In Board as used within the video card industry. The 'graphics' part is implied by the industry context. All Graphics cards are AIB. http://jonpeddie.com/press-releases/details/add-in-board-market-down-in-q2-amd-gains-market-share/ http://jonpeddie.com/press-releases/details/add-in-board-mar... An AIB supplier or an AIB partner is a company that buys the AMD (or Nvidia) Graphics Processor Unit to put on a board and then bring a complete and usable Graphics Card or AIB to market. See AMD's article on Partners (including AIB, OE, System Builder) here: http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/AMDPartnersAIBOESystemBuilder.aspx#AIB http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/AMDPartnersAI... The term AIB has absolutely nothing to do with what ports are available, the design of the pcb, or the cooler design. AIB literally just means "it's a graphics card".

    The distinction I believe is made to except the cards where Nvidia does design and manufacturing — e.g. Founders Edition.

nVidia themselves have a ton of inventory. $4.5B of it at the end of quarter, very close to +100% YoY.
