AIO? They should sell it with a real water block why halfass it?
There's going to be an artificially controlled shortage of high performance (hand picked dies) reference cards at launch, to drive hype and scarcity. The result will be that the immediate rush of AIB partner cards will be snapped up in whatever formats they come. Doing AIO instead of a full block is cheaper and easier for EVGA, plus it allows them to have more control over quality assurance, directly from the factory. In other words, people will still buy them like this, so why go the full block route?
