Why does nvidia geforce gtx 67 have different brands? Isn't the brand nvidia? Just like intel i7 brand is intel.
geforce gtx 67 refers to the name of the core (GPU, that is, graphics processor). NVidia develops the GPU core, and then gives it to a fab (such as TSMC) for processing. Then Sotai, Asus, MSI, Galaxy, Tongde, Foxconn and other graphics card brands (or foundries) purchase GPU cores in bulk, and then according to the design scheme of circuit structure, they are equipped with the core, video memory and their regulated power supply parts, and other components (such as the low-pass circuit part responsible for 2D display, capacitors) to make a complete graphics card, which is equipped with radiators and sold with their own trademarks. Therefore, the GTX67 graphics card will have different brands, and each brand will give it different models, but in short, there are 67 or 67, so that people can see at a glance that the core is GTX67.

this is different from the processor, because the CPU, with one core equipped with PCB board and pins, is directly processed in the wafer factory, and no third-party brand is needed for further processing, so the brand is intel.

the brand of the graphics card is actually much more complicated than the above. For example, there are two kinds of complete circuit structure design: public version and non-public version. The public version is designed by nVidia. No matter which brand or foundry, you don't need to design your own circuit and structure, you can directly cut and process according to the scheme provided by nVidia. Therefore, after removing the radiator, you will find that the positions and specifications of the circuits and components are exactly the same.

Non-public version means that the graphics card brand redesigns its own circuit structure in order to show its strength or better overclocking, and then it is cut and processed.

In addition, foundries: such as Tongde and Foxconn. I don't produce graphics cards myself, and I don't have a brand of graphics cards. I only OEM other brands that don't have their own factories. For example, the graphics cards of Lenovo, Dell and other brand machines are mostly Foxconn OEM; Colorful, Onda, Mingxuan and other graphics cards are mostly manufactured by Tongde.

if you want to know which brand or manufacturer a graphics card is, you can use GPu-Z to detect it. Look at the "sub-manufacturer" item. For example, display Palit, that is, Tongde. Asus is ASUS, Zotac is Sotai, Galaxy is Shadow Chi, MSI is MSI, if it shows "unknown", it must be a fake cottage factory. If "nVidia" is displayed, it may be a cottage factory or a small factory below Tongde. Maybe it's a high-end cottage like Jiewei. Because the "sub-manufacturer" item must be approved by PCI-SIG before it can be written, the unqualified factory can only be written as "nVidia" or "Unkown".
