I had a 3070 Ti FE that thermal throttled at stock settings in a case with decent airflow, not what I'd call great. AIB's are still a long way ahead with most models.

EVGA told a couple of tech YouTubers and JPD before their staff, well done

Didn't Steve say EVGA told their staff a couple of hours before the videos went live?

This was one of Jayz points of contention on his podcast thing (don't usually listen to the guy) as well as the huge layoffs as there is no way to reallocate that many staff connected with the GPU division.
Well, this is mainly the result of a near monopoly on Nvidia's part, capitalism at its finest.
Due to their 80/20 GPU share, they really don't give a **** about anything or anyone, because they know people* will continue to buy their product, no matter who or what they stomp on in their pursuit of increased profits.
* Me included. :/

No, he said the video would go live a few hours BEFORE staff were told. Classy.
Paul from Toms Hardware in this video gives some amazing insight on how the supply chain works. It's not new information but good to hear someone confirm the issues. It's obvious he has a lot of connections and experience as a proper tech journalist.
If I was EVGA I would quit as well if nvidia is going to force AIBs to buy parts at pre-set prices and then sell them at massive losses. It isn't just the GPUs but the DRAM is also at inflated prices and also potentially power delivery components.

I got one through their queue system. It was for elite members (anyone could become an elite member by merely creating an account). But EVGA were focused so much on NA, the EU barely got any cards making the system 99% pointless for us.
Hardly the same thing. AMD didn't have their own competing part, they acquired ATI and carried on running ATI, just changing the name over time.
The Tom's video is also referencing JPR reports. Unfortunately most of it is behind a paywall.

EVGA won’t offer Nvidia next-gen series
Citing price increases and shrinking margins, EVGA quits Nvidia.

nothing from LTT is worth watching.
Or now that mining bubble has burst and evga is stuck with lots of ampere stock they want out of a declining sector. Would be far better for nvidia to ditch all aib partners and just focus on founders cards which are cheaper than aib alternatives. Founders are always sold out
I enjoy watching LTT tbh. Always have. Some of the presenters are better than others but Linus has always been pretty good over the years - plus watching him just reminds me of the ‘good old days’.

This slide sums it all up....
Margins:
Nivida year 2000 : 38%
Nvidia board partners year 2000 : 25%
Nivida year 2022 : 65%
Nvidia board partners year 2022 : 5%
Nvidia want to get to 70%, the only way that will happen is board partners are at 0%
Once board partners have nothing left, can always squeeze more from Nvidia fans, how much do you like DLSS? Come on, its not enough, Nvidia wants more, pay up. Crypto miners paid, why wont you?

But founders cards are normally expensive than AIB. What you're asking will push prices up.
This generation is unusual with Founders priced lower but that's just because Nvidia set an MSRP and had to stick to it.
EVGA could always sell after market coolers that replace the stock one as a third party or something

Love to know how JPR have access to each of the companies involved accounts/financials to produce such data, are they all public record
Who uses two shades of similar blue on a full-colour slide with this little data?
They'll be fine I hear someone is having issues with their new line of GPU's and need help.
Actually I agree with you most times, but sometimes they have some rare good topics with some inside information. Linus has been at it a while and has many contacts in the industry real contacts not MLID fake contacts that he pulls out of his rear.
Reason I said watch it was because he had scripts for nvidia videos on such topics that never got made into videos and information from AIBs and people in the industry.
They made this decision back in April or June, well before the mining bubble burst so it's very unlikely to have anything to do with that, unless EVGA's CEO has a crystal ball.
Also, not related to what you said but just addressing what I've seen some people say/ask. From what i understand they've no plans to start making AMD or Intel cards because their CEO seems to be concerned that Nvidia will blacklist EVGA employees, effectively making it very hard, if not impossible, to ever work for another graphics card company ever again. Going on what others have said in the past, Hardware Unboxed and this week LTT Wan show, such a thing seems very plausible.
Nvidia financial reports are, don't know if all AIB's are though.
