yup, i also have 1, last, last gen, low end pci-e, backup card nako. its definitely a reference card. im not sure, basin ang style nila kay mag release og gamay nga stock the first 1 to 2 months, just to get the ball rolling, nya dili na dayun mag manufacture once mugawas na ang stocks sa 3rd party manufacturers. it would make sense that way. para fill lang sa demand between the time pag launch sa card and sa time maka release na ang ilang mga contractors.
