Nvidia GPU Partners Can’t Take it Anymore

Nvidia is once again forcing its GPU partners to work according to its own terms but many AIBs have had enough.Support through Shopping(Affiliate),Amazon: h...

EVGA could become a Intel partner (exclusive) to sell their GPUs. That might bite Nvidia in thee **s. They are awfully scared of Intel even when they are so new to this market.

We’re in the endgame now.

That whole EVGA/Nvidia saga is odd. The owner basically allowed his own company to sink as he wouldn't produce cards for other companies because of some weird belief he needed to remain loyal to Nvidia.

Never really cared for EVGA, my limited experience with there customer service showed them to be poor so the fact they left Europe was a blessing imo.

Evga is slowly collapsing

The owner is senile and as he's old and dying he wants to take Evga down with him. Because it's a private company there is no investors or board members to stop him - no one can do anything, if he wants to burn evga to the ground he can do so and no one can stop him

Wow, ok guys I see the love for EVGA. :rolleyes:

Any evidence that he is senile and dying?

There isn't any rule that private companies have to stay around if their owners don't want them to.

He just doesn't like anyone being mean about Nvidia.

evga works with the same rules as other aib's like msi, gigabyte etc etc. evga is going down and they trying to pin the blame on everyone else but themselves. they could carry on doing what they do but as mentioned above the ceo wants the ship to go down with him.

Or he was tired of Nvidia’s $###.

Complacency will be Nvidias biggest downfall i feel. They've gotten so comfortable in their position within the market, it probably won't take much to knock them off especially if they leave the gaming market for too long.

But then again maybe they just don't care anymore since AI market is their big earner now.

Seems like EVGA is leaving the motherboard market too, from what i've read they haven't restocked a lot of their evga boards in awhile.

AI is just another bubble. It will take a bit longer to burst, but it will like crypto did. Due to oversupply and other competitors.

In regards to EVGA Nvidia. I agree, hubris is an issue for Nvidia. And greed. Greedy to increase their absurd margins further.

And look what happened to 3DFX. And other companies, now just entries in Wikipedia...or someone else's IP (yes, I know Nvidia bought the assets).

The thing is sales of PC's is still at a low ebb and Nvidia may have a lot to do with it. Pushing the prices up and not allowing AIB's much apart from a bit of gruel. Basically Nvidia is getting fat by overpricing but forcing the AIB's to lose out.

That is true, GPUs are way to much over here, many are $1000+. I would much rather get a Intel Battlemage when it comes out for $450ish, when they say performance will be RTX 4070ish. Greed of companies rule in the US. Plus EVGA got tire of Nvidia treating them like crap, not sure on the details, but they sucked the way they treated EVGA.

I doubt nVidia care. They have a direct route to market and there will still be plenty of 3rd party cooling options.

So they do every 3rd party seller like this, prob. Wonder why they put up with it?

They're leaving everything and staff have been fired and many just quit as well

But some people are so anti Nvidia they want to blame Nvidia for EVGA leaving the MOBO and PSU markets as well

Hotwired · 17 Oct 2023 at 20:57

Dunno why anyone would take time to pour dribble on the clear statements from EVGA that they felt disrespected by NVIDIA enough to quit the card business.

EVGA had 78% of their revenue from graphics cards. You can basically round that up to being their entire business.

Shouldn't take too long to work out if the company is capable of continuing on the small fraction of revenue from their less successful products.

nintendo probably making them more than what xbox and playstation combined??

If Nvidia left consumer GPU's you could see AMD and Intel ending up encouraging either all AMD or all Intel systems and making it less attractive to mix and match.
