hmm, AFAIK all 8800 PCBs are black...
could nvidia be making these cards just for OCZ? Apparently they are monster overclockers...

Asus makes them all, and I doubt they are any different.

Black PCB looks better.

My EVGA 8800GTS is green.

MSI makes them too :! all the 7900GTO were all MSI made !!... evga buys from MSI too.

1. Asus << got a lot oem contracts
2. MSI << was number 1 untill Asus got huge contracts from companies like Apple ... ect

Wrong - Asus got the sole supplier contract from nvidia with the 8800's and the 680i motherboards.

There are so far - Abit, Asus, EVGA, BFG, Foxconn that do 680i boards...Asus doesn't make all of those and they don't make all the 8800's.

Thanx for clarifying that Ryder..
I was also under the impression that all pcbs of 8800 were made by ASUS.. So was my EVGA's pcb made by them?

Asus makes their own... EVGA is probably by the OEM contracted by Nvidia (sorry...can't say more )
