EVGA's Genuine Spec is a symbol of quality that provides assurance to consumers that the video card they buy is accurately and correctly designed to meet or exceed NVIDIA's actual and original design specification. By closely following the original design, without deviation, we ensure that the video card is built with the very best materials and components and performs exactly as NVIDIA's engineers envisioned.
We strive to follow NVIDIA's board design by paying close attention to the following details:
NVIDIA Bill of Materials (B.O.M.)
The Bill of Materials (B.O.M.) specifies all of the components, both active and passive that comprise the video card. Many manufacturers leave off as many components as they dare in an effort to cut costs - but this cuts quality as well, which is something you will never see in our Genuine Spec cards.
NVIDIA Approved Vendor List (A.V.L.)
The approved vendor list tells us which manufacturers are allowed to make each component that is specified in the B.O.M. Just like with the build of materials, many manufacturers will use lower quality component manufacturers in an effort to cut costs. With the EVGA Genuine Spec, the quality of every single component is our concern including the genuine NVIDIA Graphics Processing Unit (GPU).
NVIDIA Design
Many times, manufacturers will re-layout a video card design, such as turning a 6 layer card design into a 4 layer card, in order to use less expensive materials. But such design changes allow signal noise to interfere with the video card's operation and weaken performance and threaten stability. With an EVGA Genuine Spec card, a 6 layer design stays a 6 layer design.
NVIDIA Clocks (Both Core and Memory)
We have seen a lot of cases where manufacturers have used slower and lesser performing memory parts on their cards in order to save money. But, in the process they destroy the performance of the card and ruin the user's experience. With an EVGA Genuine Spec card, your clocks will never dip below NVIDIA's numbers and your gaming experience will be everything it was meant to be.
