I don't like this move by NVIDIA since it could end up leading to higher prices overall (yet again) if they're too successful with this strategy. Seems like there are a lot of people who don't know the difference between a crappy FE card with a noisy and inadequate cooler and a cheaper, but superior AIB card and NVIDIA is milking them for all they've got.

Something pretty interesting has been happening lately, NVIDIA’s interest in its own line of Founders Edition graphics cards has been steadily rising and it has plans to continue producing them in 2017 going forward. This will of course mean that NVIDIA will be competing with its very own add-in-board partners for the market share of GeForce graphics cards. The Pascal Founders Edition variants of the GTX 1080 and GTX 1070 were more expensive than the custom variants but still managed to be wildly successful.
