Evga will no longer be a nvidia partner.

Audioave10 · Sep 16, 2022

There was a loss on every card sold by EVGA caused by Nvidia undercutting them. Nvidia wants it all for themselves.

So are they exiting the market or will work with AMD now?

little tidbit i caught from the video
hardware unboxed?
evga 78% revenue was from gpu sales 20% psu` and 2% mainboards
however the profit margin on the psu was 300% higher compared to gpu!!

The CEO said for now they will make NO video cards at all.

Unlikely.

If that had been the case for years and years, EVGA would have exited the market years ago. They were still getting 75-80% of company revenue from video card sales.

The margins were especially bad on the high end models but EVGA said it wasn’t primarily a financial decision.

Time will tell if Nvidia will squeeze out their other AIB partners.

Did they realize that profit margin after 10 years?
That must be something else

Only recently with the 30 series (maybe the last of the 20 series.)

What the heck? That's not good. Might end up like DFI and other extinct brands.

I’m mystified how you know this with such exactitude since EVGA is privately held.

Naturally CEO Andrew Han reports to the shareholders so any drop in profit would need some explanation to them.

I've watched ALL the videos and read all the news (I'm retired), (lots of time) What I've said so far is stated by the CEO himself. So, as long
as he is stating the truth.

cvaldes · Sep 16, 2022

Well that’s contradictory to the statement that the decision was not primarily a financial one. Something is missing from this story. Not sure if anyone here will ever know the full truth.
