The special NVIDIA GeForce Partner program would begin to be applied, causing only the advanced models MSI Gaming, Gigabyte Aorus and ASUS RoG to mount NVIDIA silicon.
Despite not having the slightest need, due to no competition from AMD, this month a special program developed by NVIDIA was unveiled, which seeks to benefit manufacturers or assemblers who trust the brand. The first assemblers and their most advanced division will be MSI Gaming, Gigabyte Aorus and ASUS RoG. The builders will allocate the best heatsinks, the best components and advanced overclocking capabilities to NVIDIA products, which means that the solutions aimed at mid-range and entry, such as simpler heatsinks, will be for AMD.
MSI's Gaming, Gigabyte's Aorus, and ASUS's Republic of Gamers pages for AMD now redirect directly to NVIDIA's products. This, on the one hand, can be given by the incentives of the NVIDIA GeForce Partner, which ranges from a greater number of GPUs to have more stock, preferential advertising campaigns and other advantages, but, it should also be noted that the RX 500 Series are a rehash of the RX 400 Series and that the RX Vega have been a resounding failure and manufacturers have gotten tired of waiting for the arrival of GPUs to manufacture custom graphics cards, which have taken months to arrive with a dropper, not to mention how absurdly expensive they are. RX Vega.
Notably, AMD counts Sapphire and PowerColor as exclusive Premium assemblers, so the scale balances out a bit. You just have to see that the first manufacturer to launch a custom RX Vega graphics card was Sapphire, while curiously MSI, Gigabyte and ASUS have publicly complained about the low quality of the RX Vega GPUs, which has been slow to receive them. or how complicated it is to overclock them.
ASUS has been the most affected, since it had to delay the output of its graphics and even withdraw the ones it had distributed for review, since they had received two types of silicon with discrepancies in the size of the GPU and HBM2 memories, which it caused poor heat dissipation and other design problems.
What matters is that the high end of MSI Gaming, Gigabyte Aorus and ASUS RoG will go to NVIDIA and AMD's graphics will be based on slightly lower models such as MSI Armor, Gigabyte Gaming and ASUS Strix. Nor should we scream in the sky, AMD has Premium assemblers such as Sapphire, XFX and PowerColor and ASRock should enter the game shortly, so things are still balanced.
