More Founders Edition Madness

[TidaLWaveZ]

Just when you reached total enlightenment and understanding of the "Founders Edition" of the new GTX 10 series cards, it look's like third parties like EVGA will be selling the FE as well.

That looks the exact same as the Founders Edition Nvidia is selling, I think they are just reselling the Founders Edition card on their website.

That seems to be the case but they are branding themselves on the box.  Just doesn't match up with what I've been hearing.

 

In the past third parties have sold cards with the reference setup/cooler, but I thought I had heard that in the 10 series situation the Founders Edition was exclusive to nvidia with no third party manufacturers.

It might be possible that EVGA and Nvidia have made a deal and EVGA gets exclusive rights (along with Nvidia) to sell the Founders Edition cards, but that's just a possibility.

Sounds about right, probably cut a deal with some companies to get more founders edition cards available.

even with the announcement stating 'Do not post threads about Graphics Cards here' in bold in every thread, he still posts a thread about graphics cards here.

did you not notice that at every release all the board partners sell reference cards?

this is just a reference card

the board partners sell then so that nvidia doesnt have to make all the trade arrangements with all tech stores that companies like asus or EVGA already have

My mistake I wouldn't know since this is the first time I have experienced a release.

That's what I was saying about third parties doing it in the past, but the way I was understanding the "Founders Edition Explained" information was that Nvidia would be the only one selling the FE directly.

You must have missed that this was moved into graphics cards before you made this post.  No big deal, it's an honest mistake.
