    What type of nvidia cards are used in the new Aurora R3?

    I just ordered an Aurora R3 desktop with a GTX 590 and was wondering the brand name Dell uses.

    Example: evga, asus?

    Thanks.

    Nvidia doesnt outsource its GPU tech to Dell. Dell has to purchase from a manufacturer like Asus, Evga, Gigabyte, anybody know?

    errrrr i'm saying this cause it's always been like that on the mobile side dell always had a custom dell OEM version wich ended up being one of the the highest qualities ones

    also they might not be outsorced but they are probably build by nvidia them selfs to be oem dell version and i really don,t see dell selling asus stuff since they are competitors

    ps: you would end up having better guides going to desktopreview
