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.
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
