ATI AIW cards: Are they all "built by ati"?

Just checking.

I believe sapphire actually builds the built by ati cards.

Yeah, Sapphire, and power color, ... even Gigabyte and MSI and Asus and and and so on...
Do you need an original ATI card? Well... that's disputable... you certainly need the ATI chipset... and it's on each card

I'm wondering if ALL in Wonder cards are "built by ati" manufactured by them and covered under their warrant...this is different than "powered by ati"...i'm using selective wording.

Most of them.
Hercules had some AIW cards, and I think there was one other brand, as well.
(It's sad that Hercules is now out of the video card business)
The overwhelming majority are BBA, and I believe ALL will be from now on, simply as a warranty concern.

It's safe to assume ATI built your AIW card.
