Heyyo,
Yep, it's like how Ekul said it man, Nvidia designs and sells the main components, other companies buy them and sell the finished product. ;)
There's some brands that do the same for ATI.
You have to be careful though, cause some brands replace the reccomended peices with like, lower end peices of -blam!-, and then like, you get the card, use it, and it dies on you. Older black PC boards that Sapphire used for their videocards before used cheap ram, and that ram failed a lot... so just cause the other companys one's cheaper doesn't make it equal in quality... so yeah, try to stick with big brand names for videocards, and you're guaranteed a solid product, but sometimes you'll find a good side one, I dunno any for Nvidia, but I know now to be skeptical with Sapphire videocards. :p
