The short and sweet of it is, Founders Edition cards are just the cards made directly from NVidia there's nothing special about them other than the blower style cooler which is good for really small cases. Anything else from EVGA or other Companies are called Add-in Board partners, they either take the same PCB design from the FE card and add a better cooler and overclock it, or they make a whole new PCB of that card with the same GPU but with more or less memory faster or slower memory and a fancy cooler.

So basically, founders edition is like collectors edition?
Their performance is worse than EVGA and others?

Its not really a collectors edition it was just made by the Founding company hence Founders edition. Usually FE cards are wore than Kingpin cards or Windforce cards, except in very small cases where its not good to have the hot air moving inside of the case, where a FE card's Blower style exhausts the heat out the back of the card where the outputs are.
