    dam you nvidia.. you guys spend billions and billion on top of billions and billions on gpu r&d and when it comes to critical components you skimp out on

    how about skimpping out on boxes/packaging/crap included in the box

    how about no cables/adapters? which can easily be acquired

    ill be choosing nvidia cards more carefully from now on

    Nvidia wishes they could spend billions on R&D.
    Further what comes with the card wich raises product price (cables, games, special services etc) all is done by the partners.
    Nvidia just sells them the GPUs and a board design that will propery work.

    Im pretty shure tho that if the partners wouldnt supply the cables alot of people will moan about it not being included and them being forced to buy the cable + shipping.

    And Nvidia will make shure (and is responsible) that the GPU and the board design they supply will work at given spec.

    If u as a customer then choose to OC the card is ur choice and not rly Nvidias problem (atleast from Nvidias point of view).
    Im shure tho that the brands that r known for OCin will either stick with the old design or will put higher quality parts in the new design.

    I gues Nvidias problem atm is that the chips fab price is pretty high and they r trying to cut cost price as much as possible to cut loss when lowering prices.
