Everyone's so obsessed with the FE cards. Nvidia's not making that mistake again. The AIB cards will be cheaper like they always used to be.

Nope, long-term I think Nvidia want to have control of the whole product from development to distribution of finished items, AIB manufacturers are unable to beat Nvidia on costs so have to charge more to make any profit.

Then how did AIB partners undercut Nvidia with RTX 2000 series cards and the GTX 1000 series cards?

What about 3000 series?

Lots can happen to a business in a graphics card generation, the EVGA saga demonstrates all of this: How hard Nvidia are to work with, no wholesale discounts available, lack of price transparently until basically launch day and this is to a large well respected AIB who clearly needs to make a profit on cards.

Why push a well respected AIB away?

Linus and GN have covered some of the above.

Nvidia set the 3080 price and then the mining boom happened. AIB prices shot up. Nvidia couldn't put their prices up because you can't increase the MSRP.

Surely you remember what happened?

That's not how it was supposed to happen. Nvidia would have set much higher FE prices if they'd have known.

I would say likely to be no, blocked cards are always some weeks behind an initial launch.

@Gibbo might confirm though?

This all makes sense to me, Nvidia are just being total dicks.
