I will not buy EVGA products any more.
I recognize what they do... They send 90% of god chips on USA Market.
And they don't even try to treat fair Europe and Asia on same way as USA.
They more try to Americans recognize their discrimination of others and because of that to choose EVGA on USA territory as company who treat better Americans.
Their products are inferior and in most cases people will not be able to build computer from EVGA products with all new features and to work without problems.
Americans are satisfied only if their motherboards example work and no problem with memory, graphic card and CPU. They don't even compare other features with boards as ASUS ROG. But in most case premium EVGA boards are more expensive then ASUS ROG Boards. How? Because HYPE and because DIFFERENT LOOK THEY FISHING PEOPLE.
I was EVGA fan who tolerate and support their company near obvious defects, not defects but hardware without competitive options as other companies.
I always bought EVGA, I always wait months if need to import EVGA, in patience even if other people around me bought and enjoy in other products... I didn't bought ASUS TITAN Black or Gainward TITAN Black only because EVGA 780Ti K|NGP|N...
Even if people told me when you need support they will treat you worse than anonymous members with 5 posts because think you are stupid and you will continue to buy their products no matter on what.
And that's not only for me case, I saw and others Classified and Ultra Classified Members who are treat bad, who get much worse replacement for much expensive products than some members who don't care for EVGA who don't care to buy again EVGA or who don't care to visit forum again. Simple their company is not fair.
And worse of all is character of company. How many times managers and others wait to problem is fixed and than ask can they help something. Not only for me.
Last time I wait man from technical support 3 weeks to answer me with clear message that I will start RMA request when he contact me. He never contact me, he contact me when package arrive on border, when they didn't mark as I told them to explain me if I need them in future to contact him free and he didn't saw mail.
That's lies, they thought for one week I will forget and continue to buy EVGA products. NO MORE.
And they gave good example to new Members how people who years buy only EVGA products and move mountains sometimes to find EVGA only to get their junks are treated.
Always when I see EVGA name somewhere I will remember unfair treating different members.
Because of that Americans and screams on ASUS support they didn't used to be treated as others, they want everything special.
And if someone want to know real difference between quality of ASUS ROG and EVGA only to compare two facts:
Some customers are ready to tolerate inferior EVGA products and live with lack of new features because good technical support.
From other side normal customers are ready to swallow bad technical support because huge dominance and better products from ASUS.
When you compare that two facts smart people will see difference between EVGA and ASUS.
Only bad chip selection and I really think that EVGA have worse chip selection on market last 3 years and ignorance of technical support to nicely fix things will result that I will never say single nice word about that company, that I start to replace all EVGA products in PC with ASUS together and something what work normal, because it's not made by EVGA only have EVGA label. And at the moment only good stuff from EVGA are stuff made by other brand with EVGA label. And that I will only recommend ASUS to others. That's not my wish to advertise someone, I never look on that way and when I recommend EVGA, that's simple wish to other people have good products, my opinion is that they are best, I want best for self and it's normal for other people. My first products are ASUS, I learn for ASUS even before I learned difference between ATI and NVIDIA.
And when I ask ATI I ask I want ASUS ATI Radeon... they say We have ATI Radeon but not ASUS, No I don't want that... and later I recognize and ASUS GeForce and GIGABYTE GeForce, etc...
I hope EVGA will recognize that it's not good to spit on old Members in future and treat them worse than others and that will respect other people and that will not lose Classified and Ultra Classified Members. For now I only know for one brand who clearly not respect customers of premium products and own premium class that's EVGA. They send on market cards with aware that they will not be able to work one year stable on fabric clock. That would be same as someone overclock CPU to 4.9GHz and than invest all efforts to pull 5.0GHz and few time he pass stability test and he send him on market as product stable on 5.0GHz advertised for further overclocking.
Because they are aware that someone will have trouble with such cards but don't care. They will take premium price and resolve for 1-2 years when product cost 1/5 of price with some refurbished, unboxed, rest from others. And they don't recognize something bad in fact that someone can't use products on way as they advertised and planned first 1-2 years and someone who payed hardware 700-800e will have reason for RMA when card worth 150-200 euro. Because company is aware that customers will not able to use product as other people as they advertised and he will not be able to RMA because hardware barely work somehow with some rear crashes, but crashes need to become more often if you want to ask support... and until that happen time will pass and hardware will worth almost nothing. Customer can't enjoy in products, can't overclock, can't sell to other people and buy newer products but EVGA don't care for that and because of that my real recommendation is if people on USA territory scare from ASUS and their products they could call one of hundred survice who will build PC for them, test PC for them and replace if something not work. Don't live without USB 3.1, without Bluetooth, without U.2, without half dedicate Sound Card, without Wi-Fi, with 4 instead 8 phase example, don't live without fan controls, without nice softwares for same price only because "good technical support".I'm good person but if someone treat me bad he will sorry later 10.000 times. I have one DOA thing from EVGA I didn't say single words except I was sad because hardware die, but EVGA now do some very evil things with chip selection and their products not worth 10 euro more and 10 minutes efforts.
Company live on old glory when they had 2 best overclockers in same time in own crew when other brands didn't pay attention on that so much as now.
Even than ASUS dominance was obvious but one small period they have some nice products, that stop very fast and after that EVGA continue to sell products because different look, good package and good technical support for someone. I didn't saw that support. I saw ignorance, other got better products than me, they start to pay attention probably when they recognize that I'm really not joke any more and I will tell everything in public, In period when I try to finish everything nobody to know they ignore me. And I ask only not to be treated below other members. Worse of all is that ignorance in first moment and at the end I saved they video clips and upload them to see what is problem. But they are simple unable to see problem if someone pay hardware now 700-800euro and use him for 2 years because in first time that hardware is not good but no clear reason for RMA and you can only wait moment to completely show sign of instability and than to call technical support. Until than other people replace two generation of cards, you can't sell to anybody, you can't use, you look Americans how get best products, etc.
Sorry for this LONG LONG post but people need to used with EVGA to downclock cards, I think that even NVIDIA build Debug function because of them.
And I recommend to NVIDIA to sell all good chips I class to ASUS. Because I'm little little step from Radeon. And only what separate me from that step is because I can't afford ARES or dual GPU and best ASUS single cards are GeForce and they are same quality, faster than EVGA but much cheaper.
