List of Graphics Card Brands and Manufacturers The List

Page 2 of 2

I want to note that this graphics card brand list is a work in progress. Not all brands are listed here and some entries might contain false or inaccurate information. Some brand-manufacturer relationships are hard to discover as majority of companies tend to keep such information non-disclosed. Most of the information is gathered manually by comparing video card designs of various brands. Certain design aspects can give away the real manufacturer. Cards of identical non-reference design come from same manufacturer, obviously. On the bad side, reference models are pretty much impossible to tell apart, which is why this list may be no good when considering reference models. Another thing to note, manufacturers can change from time to time. Smaller companies can contract whatever is best for them at any given time to maximize profits. In essence, even different revisions of the same card model can be manufactured by different companies. That said, this list can get outdated in a matter of months.

The list will be updated from time to time. If you have any information to share, please do so.
