@@bigbob3772 I would guess they would stay out of the GPU market entirely. With NVIDIA and AMD competing neck and neck these days, it makes more sense that they would both be trying their damnedest to undercut one another at the very last second. This kind of flexibility is essential for the marketing side, but for the AIBs they're not so flexible with those margins. They're being thrown under the bus. It's also worth noting that we've only heard about NVIDIA doing this because EVGA stepped away from it. It could easily be happening on the AMD side as well. Now if the chiplet brings down manufacturing costs enough, then maybe there will be some meat left on that bone for the AIBs. But it's hard to predict when competition is this fierce.

@@ghostofdre it's funny how these third party companies without any GPU chip r&d departments feel they are getting the shortend by being allowed to use someone else's technology to make their own branded product and profit off it. Maybe EVGA should actually do some work on their own and make an original GPU. Instead of piggybacking on someone else's tech and complaining it costs too much. The research and development alone to make these gpu's cost far more than any third company has to pay to license and make profit off the work they didn't do themselves.

Yall love writing fanfic, but it obviously had nothing to do with that. Area 53 summed it up nicely. Jensen has made it clear for many years now that he's enamored with the Apple model of business, and so that's what Nvidia is working towards. A future with no AIBs. The profits are already razor thin for those companies. EVGA saw the writing on the wall and got out early.

@@Washanuga Yup, exactly and wanting to copy Apple isn't good for consumers whatsoever, probably switching back to AMD this gen if the 7000 series looks good enough for the price! I only switched to NVIDIA with the 20 series when I nabbed a cheap 2060 Super to upgrade from my old RX580 (Which I loved and had no issues with at all) Loved the 2060 Super and also love my current 3060Ti, however gotta say, after all the shit-talking about AMD drivers, NVIDIA's recent ones have been completely wack, I've never had a driver make my card act so strangely before till the one before the most current, I actually thought my 3060Ti or PSU was dying because GPU Load and Power to the card were both dropping to 0% randomly in games causing insane stuttering or the game would fully crash to desktop. Rolled back drivers and the problem went away, I was amazed it was a driver issue doing that. Luckily the most recent one doesn't exhibit the same behavior at all either. Also will add that I'm happy Intel is in the GPU market properly now, so we have 3 companies and more competition is better for all of us, just hope Intel brings out some proper flagship cards that can compete better with AMD and NVIDIA's higher end cards.

With how some companies are chasing designs where there are no external screws, I think EVGA's approach to hiding the shroud screws on the beauty panel side of the card is a viable approach. Imagine the GPU sandwich, the shroud has hidden screws like this under the fans and is the first piece to pop off, then you have a backplate with female threaded standoffs that locate through the PCB and seat on the underside of the cooler with the screws in the upper side of the cooler under the shroud's top plastic (six standoffs on a two-fan card, eight standoffs on a three-fan card, hiding in the curved triangle between the fans, inaccessible before shroud removal), after the backplate drops off you have the cooler and PCB attached in the typical way with a general assortment of fasteners then the chip's leaf spring along with the slot bracket; all cabling would be fairly simple with accessible connectors under the shroud's non-top faces, and the backplate's LED features if they exist could be pin-pad or a long flat ribbon that folds over itself for flexibility, along with any potential thermal bridging between the PCB and backplate. A very, very simple approach to screw-less appearance, and very simple disassembly and reassembly methodology, an intuitive design that doesn't rely on adhesives or cover panels, and a design that seems a lot simpler from a manufacturing standpoint with less processes that relies on the cooler itself being the mounting point for every other component; besides the singular fastener attaching the slot bracket to the PCB, and if this screw can be reverse-mounted, that shortcuts the process of flipping the card over for a singular screw, adding to how manufacturability of this hypothetical design is more accessible: Bracket gets fastened to the cooler, rotate, that assembly attaches to the PCB, flip, backplate gets plugged and padded if needed and fastened, fans get plugged and fastened, and shroud gets fastened, all on a slightly atypical PCB design (through-holes instead of fastener mounts for the backplate) and some additional soldering work on the cooler to allow for all the component mounting with a slightly atypical design again.

2:30 - Fin density, surface area and fin height is all important and generally you want more of all, but it's not the only things to look for in a heatsink. Air impedance and heat transfer in the fins are other things that influences the efficiency of the heatsink. If you pack the fins to tightly you get high air impedance, meaning the fans will push less air through the fin stack. And this is another area where you want as much as possible. So more fins and less air can be a bad thing. Heat capacity per fin is also important. You want the heat to spread though the fin efficiently so all the surface area can effectively transfer heat to the air passing by. Make the fins to thin and the tip won't get warm enough to make a difference. Make them to thick and you either impede the air more or you have to increase the fin pitch making for less fins and less surface area. Finally you have fin height. The taller the fins are the more surface area you get. But at the same time the fins will have to be thicker to make efficient use of the added height, so you get fewer fins in the fin stack. Now you have to balance these factors when designing a heatsink, and a lot of them will force you to compromise as you can't get them all at the same time. So while it may look deceptively simple a heat sink like this is actually not all that simple to design if you want to make it efficient, compact and cheap to manufacture.

Had to take a break from gaming until this year and finally built a new system and putting an EVGA in it was not even a question. It was a given. Ended up with a Radeon, first ATI card I have owned since even before that 8800GT. The Radeon is not bad at all. My appreciation for EVGA is so strong, I jumped to Team Red rather than accept another Nvidia AIB brand.

Either it's impressive, which would show what a loss EVGA is as a partner, or it's functionally identical to the other cards, which could (but not necessarily) indicate the constraint placed on partners like EVGA by NVidia. Or it's a disaster of a "wip" build, which would be unexpected, but interesting in its own way as well.
