Since evga has decided to stop making any GPUs period, I think their Nvidia claims are highly sus- otherwise they'd have announced they are switching to amd or Intel but instead they are going to fire a lot of staff... evga is in financial trouble that's why they are exiting the market, probably too much rtx3000 GPUs on shelf they can't get rid of costing them billions of dollars
 
Just goes to show that with the mining bubble over the past couple of years, it was nvidia making all the money. They didn't give the manufacturers a chance to scalp and probably charged them loads for chips and vram bundles resulting in the high MSRP for AIB cards we saw. Nvidia bled them dry.

No your opinion on someone else business of a close partner is a joke. Nvidia control the supply and cost of GPU's to their partners, and then also control the dropping of the prices when it suits them, their CEO is a complete ****** and I dare you to say otherwise.

Oops..


I'm guessing most of these AIBs whom work with NVidia have been hung out to dry.
Left with huge inventories of 3000 series cards they can only sell for a huge loss per card and Nvidia isnt prepared to take them back or give any partial refunds.

I mean pointing to a few cards that were sold by mistake doesn't mean they were all making bank. It's just misdirection.

I'm sure if they could get away with it though, the AIBs would. I doubt nvidia would let them and would rather be the one taking the money by charging above msrp for the parts to begin with.

My last 3 cards have been EVGA, but after sitting in there BS q for 2 years I kind of got the hump with them and had already decided i was gonna try elsewhere this time.

I guess the only bad design points over the last 2 generations all came from EVGA cards like the bent cards because of wrong thermal pads and the power spikes in new world causing a lot of pops. I did go from 3 generations of EVGA to 2 generations of MSI since that happened and maybe a lot of other people did too.

Remember this wasn't about not being able to sell cards throughout the last few years. Evga could have made really bad cards if they wanted to and would have sold out. The question you have to ask yourself is how you can only have a 2% profit margin over that same period?

What do they have left to sell if they won't be making GPUs, do you think they winll make the jump to AMD ?

Apparently 78% of revenue is GPUs and 20% PSUs. The PSUs have profit margin that is >300% higher than GPUs.

That means in terms of profit they are pretty close to parity as PSUs make 4x the profit for it's revenue.
