Soo.. The new GPUs.. Are they like the old non-A or A variants?.. Do we gain performance or lose performance in the future?

I am confused, are you saying that everyone who has brought oc cards are going to get a bios update to make all our cards the same or is it just at manufacture level.

Before: There was a -A variant and non-A variant, example: TU106-400A = RTX 2070 pre-overclocked "good binned" (higher priced) TU106-400 = RTX 2070 stock "standard binned" (lower priced) After May: All will be: TU106-410 = RTX 2070 pre-overclocked "good binned" (lower priced) Basically before there were standard and good binned, now that process is better you'll just get good binned from now on for the price of standard which is in a way what it was suppose to be or how they were doing it for the previous generation.

There was a point. Yields sucked a launch, some retooling has rectified that. 400 and 410 will not look the same under a microscope.
