  • When a company with a reputation as good as EVGA breaks ties with Nvidia, it tells me something about Nvidia.
  • @LuciusVulpes
    EVGA has been my go to GPU manufacturer for ages and I consider them a pretty good company. Basically the best for Customer Support too.
  • @samgregg
    I have owned GPUs from all sorts of AIBs and EVGA has been nothing but great to me. I had a 1080 die outside warranty and they replaced it at no charge and the support staff was so genuinely helpful. I have sworn by EVGA ever since. Really sad to hear this.
  • @maolcogi
    This makes me feel actual sadness. I would have never expected to feel this emotion about two companies cutting ties.
  • @THEBIGTFAF
    I had a friend who had a defective card from EVGA, and man let me tell you to this day almost 10 years later my friend refuses to buy any other brand of graphics card. That customer service support was so on point👌

    Hearing how EVGA has decided to handle themselves over the years, I've firmly decided I want to be a customer that looks to them for products first when I need something. Particularly how they've decided to not sell the company because they won't want some profit only people in control of the company.

    I respect EVGA for doing this. Honestly, I think this is a great move, as you mentioned, they did some amazing things with making GPUs in the past, and it shows how creative EVGA and their staff is, yet NVIDIA took that creativity away from their partners. Moving forward I think this will make EVGA design incredible things in the future. EVGA has the best warranty of any GPU maker and as others mentioned, this was the ONLY company during the shortage that did everything in their power to keep their prices down and to make sure everyone was able to get a GPU using their query system.

    I do like the Founder Editions by NVIDIA as they are very affordable and extremely well made, but as you mentioned NVIDIA was selling these much less than their partners and it takes away business from their partners.

    Honestly feels like I should buy a 30 series card not only just to support them after supporting us for so long but to have something that was the last of it's kind
  • I was in the EVGA queue to buy a 3060. The email notification that I got (10 months later) to finally buy it went to my junk mail. So I didn't see it until a few weeks later. Contacted EVGA to ask to be put back into the queue. Instead they just put a 3060 into my cart right then and there. They were really awesome about the whole thing. Great vendor for graphics cards and will be missed.

    I am pretty sure EVGA was the only company that had the sign up program to guarantee yourself a card during the height of the pandemic and their customer service was incomparable against the other AIBs. It’s really sad to see this happening.
  • @Rillust
    WOW... I'm going to miss EVGA. They have been the only company I have used since building my own PC for the first time. Just sad.
  • @tgarback9
    I built my first PC at the beginning of when things got shut down for Covid-19. I love my 2070 Super FTW 3, and planned on staying a customer of their GPU’s whenever I decide to upgrade. Sad that I’ll only have the one I currently use. I’ll never buy a FE card after this, shame on you Nvidia.
  • @ff9813
    This is a phenomenal opportunity for AMD to reach out to EVGA and give EVGA the freedom to design their own AMD gpus. AMD can build a stronger relationship with AIBs and leverage a better, stronger gpu marketshare. I only have an Nvidia card because I wanted to get an EVGA. I'm sure there a lot of people that are in the same boat.
  • @ACHILLESR32
    10 out of the 11 gpus I have bought over the years were EVGA cards . I have to say I'm sad to hear this. Thank You EVGA for the amazing products and great support .

    Thanks for the great content Jay! Just watched Gamers Nexus's take on the news and lets just say, I'm really happy you are here to cover topics like this. This is sad news for sure and I'm surprised there is not more of this happening to be honest. Keep up the great content brother!
  • @karlhungus545
    I've bought 4 EVGA cards over the years (including my current 3070) and it is really sad that they won't be around. I've never had a single issue with any of their cards (going back almost 20 years now), but always bought because of their good price, excellent cooling, and word-of-mouth that they actually stand by their warranties. Unfortunately, Nvidia knows that gamers seem to be willing to pay whatever to play games and upgrade even when they don't NEED to (impulse buying), so this just means more leverage for them.
  • Freaking heartbreaking. I’m pretty disgusted with Nvidia right now. We love you EVGA!
  • Years ago I bought my first graphics card, a 960 4gb card from EVGA. Two years after ownership the card died on me after warranty expired. After sending in my card EVGA gave me a brand new 1060 6gb card when they could have just simply said it was on me. To this day I have only purchased from EVGA, they will be forever missed in the GPU landscape.
  • @TKUltra971
    I read about this in a computer mag. Good to hear about it from Jay. Incredible, you didn't know how strict they were until the end of the line.
  • @rmp5s
    Used to use a buddy's machine back in the day because he had an EVGA GTX580 and it ROCKED. Always had good experiences with them.
