I pronounce it by saying E-V-G-A. Some people I know people who pronounce it EV-GA. How do you pronounce it?

For me I say Each Letter E V G A I have heard that it stands for Excellent VGA's Then some say "Eat Very Green Apples" I let you guess who said this. EVGA = Extended Video Graphics Adapter/Array See Post http://forums.evga.com/FindPost/155051

How is an acronym confusing, lol. That is one thing about the military, that I can not figure out... Everyone wants to make the acronym into a word instead of an abbreviation. It is E-V-G-A as you said.
Ev-ga... LoL silly kids.

You would be surprised how many calls we get from people who pronounce it ev-ga. Eventually you just stop correcting them. Lol

"Ev-Gah"  That's funny. I just say it spelled out like most people. I have also heard "Sata" pronounced 2 different ways. "Sat-ah", or like rhyming with "Data" from Star Trek like "Say Duh"?

Let's start pronouncing it "EVE Gee Ahhh" to confuse everybody. Or "ev-gah" so it sounds like pig latin craziness.

That's how I say it since it is all capital letters. You wouldn't pronounce MSI as 'Missy' would you? Well, some of you might so I'd better get while the gettings good! Bye.

E-V-G-A because that is shorter than saying: "Those Excellent Video Graphics Assembly guys that make the worlds best GPU come alive and some other really great hardware."
