Nvidia is said to have decided to handle all the design and production of new GeForce FX (NV30) graphics cards to ensure product stability and quality. According to industry sources, Nvidia will only release the more simplified NV31 and NV34 chips to card makers for product design.

Requiring a twelve-layer PCB due to the complexity of its higher frequency design, Nvidia?s top-end GeForce FX card is expected to hit the market after the Chinese New Year in late February. Instead of allowing graphics card manufacturers to design and produce their own products, Nvidia is said to have decided to place orders at certain EMS (electronics manufacturing service) companies itself and then sell the finished products to card makers to better control the quality.

Nvidia?s NV31 and NV34 chips, however, will be released to downstream manufacturers for developing supporting cards. The NV31 and NV34-based graphics cards will be introduced in March and April, respectively, industry sources said.
