"FIRST EVER"

Uh, are we forgetting all their AMD nForce boards? Maybe change the title to "First time in over a decade" or something...

Not to mention the Socket A days when EVGA was trying to gain market share.

Some people have short memories... Or aren't old enough to remember...
That and/or they failed to fact-check...

evga always goes where the records on ln2 are at. im guessing we will will see rdna3 stuff if they dont like what nvidia has, unless nvidia uses its deep pockets or just have a good gpu

When there are dozens of similar Ln2 options from all the other larger providers, the demand for a only two motherboard models with this many compromises from EVGA could be described as catatonic.

Their market penetration really dried-up after the x58 series. (mostly because those were buggy-as-hell), so maybe this is them attempting to get convincingly-past the marketshare of shit brands like Biostar or Acer!

This is really good news... If EVGA can pull off as good a motherboard as one of their Dark series or SR models for AMD for a high end, I'd be very interested :) Might consider moving from Asus/Asrock if that's the case....

They need help with their aesthetics of their boards. They are ugly as sin the last several years. Basically ever since the X58 Classified boards, they have looked awful.

I was going to say, I had an EVGA board with an Athlon CPU years ago. 64 X2 3800 (939 socket) - if memory serves me right. In fact, that first image of yours might be the same board I had, it looks really familiar.
You pretty much had the highest speed possible on the 939 socket, I think it stopped at 3800 or 4000. I had a single core 3800, I upgraded to the 3600x2 but I blew up the powersupply that blew up everything else. Last desktop I've ever owned, that was 12-13 years ago.

Did not see this coming... WOW!
It was only a matter of time that EVGA would have turned over to AMD side. More people are buying AMD processors since a very long time. They would have been missing out on lots of money if they didnt make AMD motherboards.

Now THAT is an interesting opinion... Luckily for EVGA, many do not agree. You want ugly as hell motherboards, lets look at Gigabyte. Seriously, who came up with that pathetically sad baby-blue & white color scheme they had for so long? Or perhaps we should look at the horrendous visual style of ASUS over the years?

EVGA's motherboards, greatly more often than not, look sharp and stylin'. They're doing just fine.

The new Z590 FTW from Evga is perhaps the first motherboard since X58 that actually is nice looking.

Gigabyte boards have looked pretty good for years now though they need to do something about the Aorus lettering, same with Asus.

Its about time. Its been a long time coming. It never made sense for them to paint themselves in a fiscal corner by limiting themselves to a single cpu and gpu brand.
AMD gpus will be next ;D

You need a PC hardware historian/fact checker on the editor team? It's starting to become a trend that articles here completely miss fairly recent history and make factually incorrect claims in big bold titles. I know you guys copy-pasted it from Tom's but still... Just saying I'd be down for handling those inquiries. :)

Hi,
EVGA's problem has mostly been they are always too late for the party on Intel board offerings
By the time they finally release a board most people have already bough one, example x299 dark a nice board but they came out with it 6 months past everyone else and had to dump them on their website fially and their ebay store too for a fraction of release cost think it was 150.us lol

So yeah evga is their own worst enemy on mother board releases.

Yeah.... couldn't really disagree more. EVGA is just about the only manufacture making consumer motherboards that look like motherboards, with heatsinks that actually look like heatsinks and yeah their design is heavily stylized but pretty stealthy. Everyone else is is driving so hard to make boards that try to look like just about anything other than a motherboard with wit stupid gamer brand names and over-sized slabs of metal with stupid shapes and zero surface area that the look starts to compromise performance.

I am not surprised to be honestly. The victory rate amd has right now, others want part in.

But evga is a little too late for me. I all ready joined the darkside with Asus Dark Hero x570 board.

About time EVGA shows some support for AMD products again long overdue change. Why did it take this long however is that unfortunate thing that needs to be answered!?

Finally, evga is going where smart consumers are going, no better time than to move away from nvidia and intel bs and soon evga will also be making amd gpus.

That's because they take the time engineering their boards in a way that they don't worry about defects that require customer RMA or multiple revisions, one after another.

So yeah evga is their own worst enemy on mother board releases.
That couldn't be more wrong.

If EVGA is moving over to ryzen you know the intel path ahead is not a good one.
Now we just see when will EVGA start making AIB Radeon Cards

Hi,
I didn't need any revision asus boards just a vrm water block ;)

x299 dark on release was 500.us+
Last I saw they were 150.us that is some difference and tells the story right there.

Whether they delay amd boards like that no telling guess for late buyers waiting for chip prices to drop it would be a good thing.
