building a fabrication plant goes into billions, yields are not high until near end of life. The chips that have bad transistors goes out as lower models (thus the reason why we can Overclock, we really just try and use the deem "broken" transistors which were binned).
card makers make more money with reference boards because those boards are given by nvidia and they just package it, 2-3 months later, those ones are the customized cards by the card maker.
(just my random info for you guys from someone who works in the IT industry and know people in the hardware industry )
