This is a dark dark day for all Hardware enthusiasts :mad:

The initial assumption by members was that this was just a manufacturing defect that accidentally passed QA. However, here’s Jacob’s response to the initial question.
“Unfortunately newer 680 Classified cards will not come with the EVBot feature. If any questions or concerns please contact us directly so we can offer a solution.”
​
Of course, many members were wondering about why EVGA had decided to remove the signature feature of their flagship GTX 680, in which Jacob responded with…
“Unfortunately we are not permitted to include this feature any longer.”
​
So, they are not permitted by NVIDIA to include the feature. NVIDIA is the only entity that could “not permit” them from doing something on their own product. Then, members asked the “Why?” question once again to try to coax a less vague answer to this situation and they are supplied with…
“It was removed in order to 100% comply with NVIDIA guidelines for selling GeForce GTX products, no voltage control is allowed, even via external device.”

If i was in the market for an Nvidia GPU i would get it now before they go completely gestapo with this. (no offence intended)

Everyone should rebel, (revolt! lol) send back their Nvidia cards, especially EVGA, MSI, also some Asus cards as they advertise overvoltage on the box, so in theory it's false advertising!

Too many people treat Nvidia like it's a religion, will buy the cards regardless, so I'm not sure it will impact them much, but plenty of people buy the custom cards for overvolting, as they are designed that way.

My personel view is, the AIB's cover the warranty right? NOT Nvidia, so what is their problem? Enforcing this type of thing on the AIB's.

AMD cards are more worthwhile considering they don't mind people overclocking the cards via voltage, more bang for buck.
