EVGA Announces Cancelation of NVIDIA Next-gen Graphics Cards Plans, Officially Terminates NVIDIA Partnership

[Ferrum Master]

You really think nvidia cares for gaming anymore as such?

Compute, datacenters, AI assist...

The crypto affair hiking using GPU targeted for us mere mortals was a lucky income accident for them.

Was the partnership poisoned then? We don't know that.

according to their CEO it seems so, they tried many times to talk to them he said.

 

[lexluthermiester]

Any advice on a good partner nvidia side?

I'm with you there. Gonna have to sort it out myself. PNY and Galax are on my current shortlist. Them and EVGA are who I currently buy from so the loss of EVGA means I'm going to have to source a third. I'll tell you who's not going to be on that list, Gigabyte and MSI. They can eat poo for the moment.

Usually the truth is somewhere in the middle, in the business sense.

EVGA was doing a very long term warranty, pushed high bin and premium chips, etc. Maybe they covered a niche that was killing margins? Maybe, their niche was getting priced out of the market by competition, or they see an impending collapse because of inflation and perhaps recession? And alongside all of that, they've been having several screw ups in the past few generations, have redesigned coolers several times. All I see with EVGA is high cost with little payoff. Its not like they gained share as an AIB in the meantime. Its also no secret Asia does things cheaper.

And I didn't even mention the impact of mining, its bad for stable business and we know Nvidia can walk away smiling.

Pretty much where I am, except I don't know much about GALAX. May have to take a look. PNY I have owned in the past though and they are better than their subdued cooler design would suggest. Good cards.

Things like this are shedding a light on the type of company NV is and the same reason Microsoft ditched them yet so many people blindy follow...

NV also just lost one of the biggest players left in the autnomous vehicle market. There's six players besides the giant Tesla whom already dumped Nvidia wholesale so now with GM's Cruise doing the same and moving on. It's gonna signal the rest of the players cuz they are like really fkn far behind Tesla... Is it the chips or the brains... seems Cruise is thinking its the chips! Bad sign for the biggest aholes in the room Nvidia.

Anyone who thinks Nvidia will sell less gpus becuase of this is smoking some good $h!+. All the allocation that was going to Evga will just end up with other AIB. The only thing this does is make it easier to buy a Aorus, Strix, Gaming X trio, or Founders edition model etc.

The only PNY card I've ever messed around with was a 3090 XLR8 the cooler was so bad the 3080 Suprim and FTW3 card I built systems with were both faster in Timespy. Could have just been a one off but we repasted it multiple times and couldn't get it to perform like a typical 3090.

It sold on ebay for $2800 though so it served a purpose I guess.

Well the last one I dealt with was pascal era, but they are more "quality board, average cooler" in my (limited) experience. In an ideal world I wish they had both good cooling and reliable boards, but meh. We are running short on good options thats for sure.

Everything you said is true. The straw that broke the camels back is Nvidia's Founder Edition cards being sold out of Best Buy. At msrp there's no way AIBs can compete, they're literally fighting over scraps. They should've just had a reference design that they gave to their partners, but they want the whole freaking pie.

Oh baby, my GTX 980 KPE just lifted easily 400$ in value!!

Thank you EVGA!!!

Does the shirt come with gpu as well as buying new gpu?

Yeah, intel and amd come on. There were two new gpu brands from Asian side as well, but havent heard anything new. :{

Palit is another solid brand, but they don't sell much in North America.

I not only think, but I'm sure that Nvidia will sell considerably less GPUs, not only for treating AIB partners like garbage but for the end of mining, and also because of the global crisis among other things.

Used sweaty shirt additional 45$ plus shipping.

 

[AsRock]

Read some shit in my time, now Evga should have diversified, what into motherboard, PSU , keyboards and mice, they have.
AMD cards they couldn't do because Huang said so.

Oh and Nvidia bought the chips, do you think they sold them on at cost, of f£##ng course not.

They had ample lead time, and a BOM cost advantage And set the price on a whim, Ass hattery.

And have a name change too while at it, maybe ePsU.. HAHAHAHA

 

[maxfly]

Don't get it twisted. Ngreedia will sell everything they truck over to BB. Founders Edition cards will sell juuust fine, like they always have. Ngreedia will make out like the greedy asshats they are. While they happily undercut their partners when sales are at their most coveted, during the release quarter. Great guy to do business with that leather jacket knucklehead eh?

Something that hasn't been talked about at all is what exactly the EVGA employees had to say about all of this when they spoke to TPU? All of this speculation is getting repetitive as hell. I'm dieing to find out what the legitimate information is.

 

[Totally]

This news was just totally unexpected and came right out of the blue for me.

I'm not surprised this is the conclusion everytime there's a disruption in the gpu space. Nvidia plays favorites and one of their 'partners' gets left out in the cold, xfx, bfg, and after playing second fiddle to direct sales miners they reached the end of the line. With mining now in decline nvidia miraculously all a sudden has a bunch of gpus to sell them.

 

[sLowEnd]

Interesting, but not so surprising; nvidia has been toxic to their customers way too many times throughout the years and no wonder - to their partners too.
nvidia seems to be going the 3dfx way slowly, but surely. Perhaps we shall see the day they close down in shame, like 3dfx did. Rejoice for eVGA for having the character to end being intoxicated.

Not at all. 3DFX's situation was very different to Nvidia's current situation. Nvidia has diversified into a very successful (i.e. Almost $4 billion according to their latest investor report) data center market and a few other ones like auto, so it's very doubtful they will be in any financial trouble for the foreseeable future.

 

[chrcoluk]

Might help EU supply given EVGA stock share was so imbalanced in USA favour. Hopefully their allocation goes to partners with better worldwide spread now.

 

[SOAREVERSOR]

What most don't get is computers are all going to be SOC or APU situations. Dedicated cards are going to be cloud only items. That is the future and it's not really going to be changed. It's when, not if.

 

[xmanrigger]

Their graphics cards were constantly lagging behind Msi and Asus solutions, sometimes even behind Gigabyte and Palit.

LOLOLOLOL! Thanks for the laugh. You made my day! Got anything more funny?

 

[SpittinFax]

Nvidia stocks are going up regardless. Great investment opportunity.

Just kidding! Stock prices have been dropping for the last year. Peaked at US$330 in late 2021.

Well obviously, we will se a return to this trend soon:; but its not like its happening tomorrow

cutting off your nose to spite your face preemptively when there's still plenty of demand for the gargantuan 4090 seems kinda self-destructive? they seem to have no problem continuing to ship top-end motherboards (and those must make bank, or they would have cancelled it years ago) so why not concentrate on top end video cards with only hybrid water here?)

that's a lot of revenue to lose overnight

You've had your account here for almost 12 years and this is your first post. Hope to see you post more friend.

I'd just like it if we left the brand hate at the door, whatever the reason.

 

[Fluffmeister]

Yeah enough with the brand hate, it's a two horse race ladies, stop pretending to care about EVGA when most of you wouldn't touch them with a barge pole because they were Nvidia only.

Your hatred of Nvidia doomed EVGA, well done.
