EVGA terminates relationship with NVIDIA

Are those figures including console gpus? Sure Nv is the market leader but RDNA2 was a huge leap forwards for AMD and RDNA3 could be revolutionary...or average or bad but it is certainly a radical different approach that may upset the balance.

This is a purely business decision. There is no point making and selling a product if you cannot make a profit on it. I imagine that working with NV is not easy with all the restrictions they put in place so why do it unless you are going to profit from it. If am sure EVGA have considered their options and have thought they would either break even or lose money by signing up to sell the 4xxx series of cards and have decided it is not worth the risk.

Never owned an EVGA card or product so no feelings either way but it does point to a trend of less choice in the future
It's reckoned AMD are making single figure $ profit per GPU/CPU combinations in each console. The money is to be made in volume on that side.

So whos next in line on the "we actually give you a decent warranty service"?

EVGA's advance RMA was just so frikkin good. Any other suppliers offering something similar?

Wasn't there a time Gigabyte UK was really good but now I hear they're garbage today? Long RMAs and likely to deny you over stupid stuff like a mark on the backplate or such. Some I've seen little scratches on the PCB, tiny, tiny scratches and they were denied RMA. Or even RMAs that were lost.
 

News confirmed EVGA exit graphic card market :(

Wow the breaking news is a massive shock to me, it was happened to BFG Tech back in 2010 announced they exit graphic card market, it was very sad day back then when I owned BFG Tech GTX 6800 GT and BFG Tech GTX 260 OC. BFG Tech GTX 6800 GT died 1 year later and I RMAed it to USA, it took 2 weeks to recieved new BFG Tech GTX 6800 GT replacement. I am shocked it now happened to EVGA in 2022, I owned EVGA GTX 470 with 8 years warranty and EVGA GTX 670 SC 4GB with 5 years warranty then 4GB VRAM developed faults 1 year later and I ordered Advanced RMA, EVGA Germany send me new EVGA GTX 670 SC 4GB graphic card first 3 days after I ordered Advanced RMA then I send back faulty card back to EVGA. EVGA Advanced RMA service was really very impressed incredble fast.

I am really very sad to see EVGA no longer make graphic cards now.

I will stay with MSI since owned MSI GTX 970 Gaming and MSI GTX 1070 Gaming X, RTX 3080 Suprim X is really amazing card and the cooler was the best build quality ever to keep temp down whole time.

isn't the Switch outselling, or was, this current gen :confused:
 
What Steve Burke said about Nvidia wanting to become Apple is interesting.

Maybe Nvidia don't care, maybe its deliberate, maybe Nvidia want to cut out the middleman, that's board partners, and just sell Nvidia GPU's through their own supply chain, like Apple.

Is it wise for Nvidia try to be Apple when they don't make any other component?

Cutting the revenue streams of board partners that are likely making the motherboards your GPU needs to plug into, maybe they think they're too big for that to matter. I hope AMD close to gap further this gen.

Maybe it's because Jensen is just an ****. A control freak. Look at all the hooks and tie-ins. Christ, even Intel dumped Nvidia after being screwed over by Jensen. IMHO Jensen has a habit of screwing 'partners' and customers alike. TWIMTBP -lol.
Still, I suppose he has to be protective - GPU's is all he's got.
Thank god he didn't get ARM.
 
They bought too much, suffered the losses when prices tanked. They do not have the bank as Asus and MSI do.
Yeah you right.

I googled to find EVGA annual revenue and found owler.com, EVGA annual revenue estimated $47.5M and 455 employees.


EVGA provides graphics cards, motherboards, displays, peripherals, PCoIP cards, USB products and accessories. EVGA was founded in 1999. EVGA's headquarters is located in Brea, California, USA 92821.

Corsair's headquarters is located in Fremont, California, USA 94538. Corsair's President & CEO, Andrew Paul, currently has an approval rating of 100%. Corsair has 2490 employees and reported 1.6B in revenue [trailing four quarters].

Gigabyte $3BN & 2,672 employees


GIGA-BYTE is a Japan-based electronic company that distributes motherboards, computer peripherals, and graphic cards for the gaming sector. GIGA-BYTE was founded in 1986. GIGA-BYTE's headquarters is located in Xindian Dist, Taipei County, TW 23144. GIGA-BYTE's President, Yeh Pei-Chen, currently has an approval rating of 85%.

ASUS's Co-CEO, Samson Hu, currently has an approval rating of 75%. 41% of Owler community believes the stock will go Up. ASUS has 6433 employees and reported 20.4B in revenue [trailing four quarters].

Wow I am very shocked just discovered EVGA Palit is actually the smallest company with estimated $28M in bank and has fewer employees, 87 employees to be exact that are a lot smaller than EVGA estimated $47.5M in bank and employed too many people with 455 employees. MSI looked safe as 2nd largest with $7.4BN in bank while ASUS retained number 1 for decades with $20.4BN in bank.

Maybe Corsair should enter graphic card market and start selling Corsair graphics cards soon after EVGA left graphic card market.

Palit Microsystems owned Daytona, Gainward, GALAX, KFA2, Palit, Vivkoo, XpertVision and Yuan brands. They will launch RTX 4000 series graphic cards next week, we already seen leaked pictures of GALAX RTX 4090 SG graphic card. Something fishing going on with EVGA exit graphic card business employed people that are 5 times more than Palit Microsystems. I believed it is nothing to do with profit margins on graphic cards but EVGA burned through huge 80% GPU annual revenue approx $38M blown on 455 employees salaries that is too many unnecessary salaries and rest blowed on lavish lifestyles. If EVGA employed 87 or fewer employees then EVGA should able to make money from graphic cards profit margins and launched EVGA RTX 4090 cards. NVIDIA is not blamed for EVGA exit graphic card business but EVGA CEO should be blamed for it because he employed too many people and also I wondered how much EVGA CEO Andrew Han earned? I googled found he earned $225,303 annually.


I also found EVGA employee salaries.


OMG That lots of revenue wasted on 455 employees salaries most of time doing absolutely nothing. :eek: EVGA Sales Engineer, EVGA Recruiter??? :o:confused:

I honestly wouldn't be surprised. One to rule them all. Then they can jack up the market. Full control and get those mining prices back.

Wouldn't surprise me if more AIB's did the same going forward, Friend of mine in Taiwan used to work for MSI and said the work environment was pure unfiltered anxiety, Was something along the lines of testing I think.

At least EVGA still have their Intel and AMD motherboards, PSU's, Cases, Mice, Keyboards etc... and depending on if AMD's next gen stuff is any good maybe we could see an EVGA designed 7950XT if AMD are less of an a-hole to work with than Nvidia.

I'd say it's a combination of things that essentially made EVGA call time but Nvidia directly competing with 'cheap' founders cards was likely the final nail in the coffin. The fact that they're either losing money or making very little, while being constricted by Nvidia makes them ditching gpu's completely sensible to me, especially if they're making larger profits on other stuff they sell.

I'm expecting EVGA to expand into other PC components at some point.

As above I'm expecting some others to ditch Nvidia too, and in all honesty I don't think Nvidia will care because they've already seen they can sell gpu's themselves and if they have no aib partners they can then set prices wherever they want.... they've already said they want to increase profit margins :(

Yup, only the best GPU's for too long, AMD have caught but are still slightly behind in features and RT perf.

Afterall the consumer only cares about what they are getting for their money and AMD is catching.

The last few generations of cards have been quite poor honestly I won't miss them. Of course that may relate to them cutting corners and trying to increase margins on what they say they're not making much on.

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

Nah Intel Arc gpus, theres clearly a big future there. /s

Nvidia probably won’t even care about Evga, was one of the smallest partners they had and I don’t think they will lose any market reach as they have the others to in the same markets.

Losing someone like Asus, Msi or Gigabyte would hurt more but like others have said I think they want to go it alone more. The FE cards this gen have shown they can produce a great card, just depends on if they can produce it in the quantity needed.
 
Yes Nvidia won't care and the remaining AIBs will be happy to eat up Evga's allocated volumes so evga leaving will not reduce Nvidia sales at all. If someone like Asus was to suddenly quit, that would hurt because their volume is too high to be quickly absorbed by other AIBs so it would reduce the number of GPUs that can be sold
