I think the Nvidia/EVGA situation might be a little different in that it looks like Nvidia is intentionally trying to squeeze out board partners like EVGA in favor of self-branded cards. The closer parallel is probably when Apple killed the Mac clone program by making it extremely difficult for clone makers to compete.

Nvidia still doesn't sell their FE so much outside of US, so I don't think their intension is to selling more FEs.
