I never said that NVidia does not make Mac graphics cards. You read wrong. Of course they do -- they've been offered in Macintosh computers for the last few years. Here's exactly what I said, which is pretty specific and is boggling how someone could misinterpret it to the point where they think I said that NVidia does not make Macintosh graphics cards at all:

NVidia does not sell retail Macintosh graphics cards, so your only option for an NVidia card is to find a Macintosh-specific OEM card second-hand that has been pulled out of a Mac.
I said that you cannot purchase an aftermarket NVidia graphics card for a Macintosh computer, as the only way you can get a Macintosh NVidia graphics card is by Apple's BTO options.

Sure, you can get them second-hand, but they will be OEM versions that have been pulled from a machine.

If you can purchase an aftermarket, retail NVidia graphics card for a Macintosh, then that's news to me -- I don't see anywhere that offers an NVidia graphic card for a Macintosh in a retail box. If they do in fact sell them aftermarket, please provide a link.
