EVGA ends NVIDIA partnership...

[DarthGW]

The Nvidia buying ARM deal is dead. Then again those that move to RISCV will not come back.

yes the deal is dead, but it has made ARM customers to sit up and start diversifying to other architectures like RISC.

evga holds 40% market share of Nvidia cards in NA. that speaks a lot

They had the right customer attitude throughout the mining shortage. Ensure gamers can get their GPUs at RRP and prevent miners from buying up everything. Really sad to see them go

Worth to buy Evga card?
Their GPU super pricey and make me decide for galax instead

I will not go for company that decided to end their business of the product.

Nvidia and AMD both used to have driver issue also.

i mean...you already said "used to"..

Intel doesn't work in a vacuum...everything intel's releasing is judged not only based on what it can do...but what it can do in relative to its competitors.

It doesn't matter how bad NV and AMD's drivers used to be...as consumer, we should only cares about the now (and future).

Also, intel's drivers in relative to their embedded graphic cards, which existed for more than a decade, doesn't really inspires me with confidence.

And that's not to mention the existence of any Intel cards out in the wild physically. Do these cards even exists outside of reviewers?

ARM is already RISC based...you meant RISC-V.

ah yes, thanks for the correction

I get not working with Nvidia. Not wanting to work with Intel or AMD is performing corporate sudoku. It is going to be the rank-and-file who's going to suffer when EVGA start downsizing.

Unless this is a negotiating tactic to bring Intel or AMD to the bargaining table from a position of strength .....

RDNA 3 card incoming with EVGA?

why would AMD care? they have sapphire
intel has bigger issues.

AMD should care. If they can get EVGA onboard, it will be a major PR coup for them and take away mindshare from Nvidia. EVGA is synonymous with excellent aftersales support so can expect a significant number of enthusiasts to buy AMD solely because of EVGA.

Do you have any idea how big EVGA is in the USA GPU market?

 

[ondooy]

RIP KingPin...

he obviously didnt read my earlier post abt EVGA market share in just NA itself..i would say the international market sentiment is highly influenced by sales in the NA. (ie Hardware forums, youtubers)

go to reddit and see how many threads popping up lamenting the loss of EVGA because they are really that good in support and the rest of the AIBs are basically crap service

i doubt it matters. People buy EVGA because its Nvidia.
The same people wouldnt be buying AMD.

Don't you agree that having 3 gpu suppliers is better then 2?

This is quite big news. Never expected it. No wonder recently evga gpu like on fire sale, even lower than "normal" despite the general fall in gpu prices due to the upcoming gen.

I don't understand their claim about nvidia's founder's edition cards causing them to sell their own gpus at a loss. Founder's edition like its name suggests, is a limited run/stock version of the gpu. Once it runs out, buyers have to turn to the usual AIB or find someone who is willing to resell their founder. Founder's edition is not the most powerful either in terms of spec or cooling(many dislike the blower design due to heat). Outside of the US, it's hard for people to get their hands on a founder's edition since nvidia doesn't sell it to other countries direct nor do most us retailers that stock it so most will end up having to buy AIB like evga anyway. Lastly, it does not make sense either because asus is able to sell their GPUs at a much higher(asus could be argued as the most expensive among them) premium despite nvidia's founder's cards.

Even if margins are low, 80% of gross revenue is nothing to sneeze at. If their high margin products were selling very well, they would have already made up the 80% instead of gpus. I would rather sell a 2% margin and get 1 billion than sell only 80% ones and get only 100 million. I don't see how the company will survive without a significant downsizing.

Anyway, this isn't good for the consumer market because it will lead to higher base prices in the long term and evga was considered one of the better AIB ones.

Hi, same here
i had 970, then 2080 and now 3080Ti ... gonna missed this company and CS support.

 

[kimsix]

evga ceo ord mood or male menopause...play so big!

maybe gpu AIB margins really too low, end or no end still die.

for custom water cooling, so left zotac for warranty?
