EVGA terminates relationship with NVIDIA

[humbug]

I don't get it.. people want cheap GPUs and at the same time feel that Nvidia isn't playing fair with the founders edition. Contradictory stuff.. i believe there must be an elegant math proof hidden in there somewhere

FE cards are not cheap, they might be cheaper than most AIB cards but Nvidia control the price of those too.

The 3080 was $699, compared with the 6800XT at $649 that's not bad, the 3080 had better RT, a valid argument, the 6800XT had more VRam, also a valid argument because that does matter for some games, they are not bad prices and you have choice there.

(Citing TPU at 4K)

Now take the 4080, $1200, more than 70% more expensive, it has 52% better RT and 45% better raster performance, so you're getting less for your money, but it doesn't exist in a vacuum.

So, vs the 7900XTX, it is $1000, 20% cheaper, the 4080 has 16% better RT performance, so that argument is gone... and the 7900XTX is about 8% better in raster, the 7900XTX also has 20GB VRam vs 16 on the 4080.
We all agree the 7900XTX is over priced, but not as much as the 4080 and it no longer as a reason to be more expensive than AMD's alternative.

How so? If it costs me £50 to make something and i sell it for £100 to other companies so they can make it into a final product for customers to buy while selling my own brand of product for £100 it doesn't take a rocket scientist to workout that it's just not worth it for other companies to make their own brand.

Thanks for your insightful post. Though the original comment was aimed at consumers symapthizing with evga and not for company executives deciding on corporate strategy

You're welcome.

Ah, that must be why it made no mention of EVGA and instead talked about Nvidia.
