New GPUs with DVI-I?

Have both AMD and NVIDIA abandoned DVI-I? In other words, have they both abandoned native analog display support? Or can AIB partners still add them?

The RAMDAC was removed from nVIDIA GPUs after Maxwell. Some Pascal cards have DVI-D but not DVI-I as a result. I'm not sure about AMD.
 
Yeah, it looked that way from images of the 10-series, but I thought maybe the 1050 would still have it or something. Shame. Those converters all really suck.
 
Yeah, it's a DRM conspiracy, to remove the "analog hole". Otherwise, you would be able to watch those juicy 4K UHD Blu-Rays over your analog VGA port with hacked drivers, and be able to capture it with a suitable VGA analog capture card.

Aye. NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel all agreed back at the start of the decade to begin removing VGA ports and capabilities in 2016, in order to force manufacturers to move to various digital technologies. Which isn't for anything sinister, as Larry thinks, but rather because there's a cost to adding analog support, and downstream device manufacturers were dragging their heels on removing it.
