EVGA will no longer do business with NVIDIA

[vegeta535]

Looks like EVGA is dumping Nvidia. Suck cause they are my favorite AiB.

 

[Hakaba]

More coverage.



I wonder what’s going to happen next. Have been using these guys since the 8 series?

There goes my 10 year warranties… /s (maybe not).

Ohh damn killing off GPU sales completely? Wow.

 

[drklu]

Dam that sucks, always had good CS and products from EVGA

 

[blurp]

Sad Sad Sad.

 

[longblock454]

What are the margins on AiB's? Really that low?

 

[ZodaEX]

Hopefully this will help the supply chain make Intel cards more available.

Supposedly with all the recent heavy price cutting AiBs are losing money on each sale. Jay used a EVGA 3090 as a example. At $1399 they are losing money. Right now I see it as low as $1099 at MC for it. MC probably eating a lot of that themselves. Which I am ok with MC and other retailers losing money. They were the primary cause of the insane prices.

Wow! EVGA is my go-to for Video cards. They're a great company and I hope they survive. I just don't get why they wont consider AMD. Makes no sense.

 

[mouacyk]

and no more expensive af motherboards too please
so this was why J was shilling so hard, b/c evga wanted to clear stock to get out

 

[Eymar]

Damn wasn't expected that, but also not surprised. Evga was my go to for Nvidia cards new or used. What is everyone's preferred next option?

I would say MSI since I had a good RMA experience with them the one time I had to use it. Then again I don't like the shady stuff MSI been doing and they are typically the most expensive. Asus and other have terrible customer service.

 

[Ranulfo]

Huh, so no switch to AMD or Intel like XFX did years ago?

 

[causticspill]

At work/tldw- what's the story here? Is there an official press release or just tech toober coverage?

 

[NightReaver]

Aw man, would love to buy an EVGA branded Radeon card for fun, lol.

 

[kindasmart]

Edit: I've been toying with the idea of getting back into gaming and have only considered EVGA cards as they did me a solid when my original Titan went belly-up 2-3 weeks after the 5-year warranty expired.

I'm wondering if I should buy something now? Will EVGA's stock run out fast? Prices rise? Extended warranty?

Just crazy no Nvidia GPUs from EVGA anymore.

 

[atarione]

sort of surprised they they didn't jump to AMD or even intel.. I guess they make some other stuff but video cards are the only thing I have ever bought from them.

 

[vegeta535]

Hopefully this will help the supply chain make Intel cards more available.

The EVGA CEO is completely done with the GPU market. They have no plans to make Intel or AMD cards.

I use a lot of their PSUs.

AMD is getting better every iteration, they should do it. In due time, we may see it like the X570 boards.

 

[Filter]

this ceo just killed evga oversomething personal.

Same and Google finds these two vids and that’s it so far.

Edit. Also Evga has been my go to for Nvidia cards too. Time to buy a few for the collection!?

 

[staknhalo]

Interesting 🤔

 

[cjcox]

Onn starts drooling...

 

[causticspill]

Same and Google finds these two vids and that’s it so far.

Right, what's going on? EVGA went straight to Jay-Z and Tech Jeebus directly without an official announcment? This is crazy.

 

[staknhalo]

I only ever bought BFG or EVGA video cards

Both are my fault, sorry guys 😔

 

[vegeta535]

I can understand Jay since he is like the down the road from EVGA HQ and been a huge proponent for EVGA over the years.

 

[TheHig]

Lol. Still have a working BFG 7900gt!

[sover]

Wow. This is a massive loss for consumers.

 

[Twisted Kidney]

nVidia has done some incredible things in the last ten years.

Being able to stand out in the tech industry as a particularly shitty company to do business with is a real accomplishment.

I think Kyle on this very site was one of the first to really point out what a complete cockintheass that nVidia was acting like.

 

[Decko87]

Fuck Nvidia, they are an abusive monopoly, good on EVGA. No point in selling products you lose money on just to play nice with a king.

 

[vegeta535]

Wow EVGA revenue for gpu is 78%. The CEO claims they are not laying off ATM. I don't know how they plan to stay in business shutting down majority of their business.

 

[ochadd]

I just bought an EVGA 3080 ti specifically because I was going to do their step up. Which I had done once before. This really sucks.

 

[MavericK]

Pretty shocking...not the reports of nVidia being shitty, though.

 

[madpistol]

Amazon Basics GPUs incoming!!!

 

[Axman]

Besides motherboards, they got plenty of loyal fans, and can make whatever they want. Remember when Razer made good stuff? EVGA can kick them to the curb with keyboards and mice that don't require an internet connection and subscription. Cases, fans, sound cards, other peripherals, hell, even mousepads.

 

[Lakados]

This probably has more to do with the time noting Tariffs and the costs of operating a US company out of China. Well I’m sure the CEO and upper management will get their golden parachutes.

 

[ZodaEX]

There's an old saying we have on the eBay council.
"If you're loosing money on a product, raise the price."

 

[auntjemima]

Lol. Still have a working BFG 7900gt!

I have three BFG 8800gtxs in my old 775 rig. Some day I'll buy some ddr2 memory for the insane eBay prices and start it again lol

 

[polonyc2]

so they're just skipping the next-gen 4000 series versus permanently exiting the GPU market...they're taking a big stand against Nvidia even if it hurts their bottom line

 

[MavericK]

Wow EVGA revenue for gpu is 78%.

Apparently their actual profit is way, way lower though. They claim it's unprofitable to continue doing business with nVidia, though I am sure that's not the only reason this happened.
