NO!

I just can't like ATI with the problems I have had with their 5970 :( But again EVGA has best tech support and warranties around so if they did have ATI cards I might change my mind... But I have green in my blood.

Thanks

Its Nvidia OR ATI, cant have both.  EVGA would get cut off from the Fermi like XFX

As far as I am aware at this time the comment located in this URL is still EVGA's official statement:

With EVGA sticking with Nvidia, correct decision I might add for reasons I already enumerated, and XFX possibly out as far as Fermi goes, looks more and more like an EVGA vs XFX showdown.
Gonna be interesting to watch and be a part of

It'd be nice and all for EVGA to produce ATI cards just so if I ever wanted to go ATI I would have that same quality and everything available.

But I like there being companies dedicated solely towards each manufacturer I also believe it makes EVGA better because if they were producing both cards then if say Nvidia cards started to do really bad in the market they could just say, "Oh well we'll just make up for it in ATI sales." But since they only sell Nvidia cards they have to make sure that their Nvidia sales do well and do as much as they can to make sure the Nvidia cards sell and more importantly that people have a good reason for picking their brand over anyone elses. 

I really do believe things wouldn't be as good as they are now concerning support and warranty if they weren't specialized in Nvidia cards. And if they sold both you'd probably have to forget the step-up program completely.

I also am not a fan of ATI. The last ATI card i had was the X800 pro.  I never touched ATi after that because NVIDIA won me over. That is the same reason why is stuck with my 285 and waited for the fermi :P. I would rather have higher temps and have my video card take more juice just to stick with Nvidia. NVIDIA FTW!

And Evga FTW for not jumping on the red band wagon!

EVGA should offer whatever is beneficial for the customer......or better yet what they want.  Nothing wrong with diversifying your business, adds security to your business structure.

Lol, the funny thing is this topic has only come up because of the 480 launch.  Trust me, when nvidia launches another milestone like they did with the 8800, this topic wont pop up.  But I do agree and I have said it before, EVGA should sell ATI cards because I love evga and their support, but its not enough to make me stick with just geforce cards.  But we dont know what kind of contract they have setup with nvidia, that might be a reason they cant switch.  But if other companies have switched, then we have hope.


+1 totally agree with you here!

If I may, EVGA and NVIDIA go together, imo

   From a marketing standpoint... EVGA would stand to rule even more of the market if they chose to sell ATI cards. XFX would lose buisness for sure. Money must not be an issue with EVGA. But I'm very sure with the launch of fermi that their projected sales arent all that well. I could be wrong but I have seen alot more poeple leaning towards ATI.
 
   I havent owned an ATI card since 9800pro which I sold and got a 6600gt. From then on its been NVIDIA. Until recent I picked up and ATI 5870 that wasnt reg'd yet for a cheap price. And I must say I'm impressed with the performance and its temperatures are far better than my old gtx 285 to boot. I think that I made the right descision with the card I went with.

   In a year I'll be upgradeing to a newer better card and who knows by then maybe NVIDIA will be back in the game. Fermi is not a polished product maybe the revision cards will be much better. EVGA is my favorite third party company. But I can't justify getting a 400 series card just to be able to deal with them. EVGA = WIN and at this point in time ATI = WIN period.

   Please dont reply with anything about drivers and or how a 480 beats a 5870. I dont care. If the 5870 used as much power and produced as much heat as the fermi cards It would perform just as well and probably better than a 480. With that said. Hope EVGA does well with their sales and everyone who buys either companies card is satisfied. Peace....
