Evga will no longer be a nvidia partner.

Evga will no longer be a nvidia partner. Meaning you can not get a new rtx 4000 series card from evga and forward.

Im very sad about this news. I have had evga gtx 1080 TI and my current rtx 3080 ftw3 ultra gaming. So from now on I will personally be looking at asus tuf and strix series.

 

[GerKNG]

well deserved for NVidias decade long scams, manipulations and bribing attempts...

 

[Hervon]

Always had great customer service from them. Sad.

 

[64K]

Wow! EVGA has been Nvidias number 1 partner.

 

[maxfly]

But no official announcement just these guys and their videos? Whats up with that?

My thoughts too. That's kind of odd.

 

[Divide Overflow]

nVidia makes some great tech, but their business practices are terrible.

 

[mb194dc]

So TLDW, they're losing money on all boards above 3060 and didn't think it was worth continuing in the GPU board partner business.

Bigger picture is probably the GPU market crashing, combined with the $ being soo strong earnings from outside the US will be hammered combined with a massive global downturn (also see FedEx today...).

Damn, now I feel kinda bad about selling my 1070 FTW ACX 3.0 a day ago.
If I wasn't so low on money I would have kept it as a backup card, oh well..

I hear ya. I guess my being a bit of a gpu hoarder is a good thing... I still have one of my evga 8800gtx. Hate, hate, hate, selling gpus.

When EVGA can't turn a buck on your cards, something is truly F'ed up with your business model. If this turns out to be true, I wonder how much per card the other aibs are eating for BOTH sides right now? I can't imagine they're making any money as is. When next gen releases...wooo this is a baaad look. Squash those cheap card hopes obviously. Next gens going right back to stupid again unless I'm seeing this all wrong.

Sad news. That just leaves Sapphire as the only company I'd truly trust for RMA and support (XFX? not sure nowadays). The other vendors also make good products but warranty, waterblock and RMA policy adds confidence. Looking at you, Gigabyte and Asus

Weird statement from EVGA though - they're comfortable cutting out most of their revenue stream, yet say they aren't going anywhere, yet aren't pursuing new partnerships? Are PSUs that profitable? Their motherboards are an insignificant speck of the market.

 

[FreezingPC]

Thats sad news... They are my top 1 recommendation for GPUs, good models, good support, good warranty... a shame really.

 

[ir_cow]

This is a horrible why to exit the market. Just talking smack about your only long term partner that is 80% of the revenue. Good job! If the company was public, shareholders would replace the CEO so fast lol.

RIP EVGA

Exactly what I've been wondering. Do they actually sell PSUs on the same scale as say Seasonic or SuperFlower? That's the only way I can see them continuing to omit GPUs. At least join up with AMD damn it. Give us something.
I can't wrap my head around them not being in the gpu game in any form...its blasphemous.

RDNA3 might be something special for Nvidia’s top AIB to abandon them .

 

[ir_cow]

Their motherboards are an insignificant speck of the market.

Their motherboards runs are generally manufactured in such a low amount that its never in stock when you want it. When I ready to build a system, I have about 3 choices and I go down the list comparing price and if its in stock. I'm not waiting months in a que.

 

[MagnyCours]

Won't be the first exclusive vendor to cut ties with Nvidia; XFX did the same back in the Fermi days. Except they didn't exit the video card market and partnered with AMD instead.

Let's hope so for EVGA's sake.

EVGA said they aren't making AMD cards either. just leaving the market completely at this time. Given that its like a 6 month lead time to make video cards, no RDNA3 for EVGA.

Ah okay, so they are basically buggered.

 

[Space Lynx]

did not think I would read this. wow.

I was planning to do a Sapphire RDNA3 anyway, but just surprising.

Makes me wonder if EVGA already had some RTX 40X0 cards boxed and ready to sell, they would certainly be sought after collectors editions!

And Seasonic and SF are OEMs. I'm not sure how EVGA expects to survive solely on rebranding HEC, FSP, Seasonic and SF products.

To be honest, not having EVGA around does change up Geforce appeal for me, more than I thought. Might not end up buying Sapphire in any specific GPU generation, but it helps to know there's always the safe option. Now the closest you can get to that sort of warranty service is with Nvidia FE (last I checked they ran RMA through a distrib partner in Denver, RMA took just 3 business days to get my replacement card, legitimately lightning fast), but FE coolers can only go so far, and it was pretty much impossible to find in Canada for 30 series.

Now what are the options? Asus (yikes), Gigabyte (double yikes), MSI (at least they only require S/N but still), Zotac? Picking the lesser of evils? All already available on the Radeon side except for Zotac (not gonna miss them at all), with the addition of Sapphire and XFX too.

Might just have to put up with Radeon drivers going forward......in the interest of not being shafted again by RMA like I have multiple times this year

Nope.

According to the two news sources, EVGA had about twenty engineering samples (EVT) of the 4090 FTW3 cards, far from a shippable stage. So the decision to exit the market was probably made by Han and senior management six months ago.

EVGA is now partnering up with J to sell his GPUs
