I didn't really knew where to ask, so I asking here.
 
With upcoming* release of Zen platform I would like to inquire if EVGA plan to support new AM4 platform. I know from multiple interviews that company stick with nVidia for GPUs and I understand that. However considering that AMD was (and still is) in CPU wilderness for past -whooo- decade+, perhaps support for Zen would be a good thing. Just thinking aloud here.
 
If yes I'll be thrilled (if Zen delivers of course), if not (and Zen is a success) it'll be massive downer to look elsewhere for boards. No reason to hide that I'm EVGA motherboard Junkie with capital J.
 
* - "AMD upcoming" means between now and 72 months. ;-D Cruel? Well perhaps a bit, but still very true. LOL

AMD will need to gain more market share before we see small motherboard mfg jump on board.

But they used to make AMD motherboards and stopped..............That's what brought me here so long ago AMD board with SLI support............

If AMD can turn things around, who knows maybe one day evga might sell AMD motherboards again.

ypsylon Are you not Happy with your EVGA X99 Classified Motherboard?
The Day EVGA starts to make AMD Motherboards or AMD Graphics Cards is the day I drop EVGA.

I have been a member for 10 years and they haven't sold any AMD products. How long ago was this?

Not sure of the time/ date whatever but here is an example in all its utterly poor color glory.............http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813188002
 
I'm betting if I dig around my P/C "stuff" I might find said ugly item

I doubt very much that it will happen. Nvidia and Intel is a better combination. Words of advice. If ever offered the AMD kool-Aid, just tell them you want something stronger. Like an Nvidia / Intel combo drink. Make it a double. (Hold the ice).           

Back in the day it wasn't .................................<<<This will probably raise some hairs on peoples necks

 

Damn that's ugly. The only thing that looks good on there is the EVGA logo.. lol

Kind of drastic to drop EVGA if they make an AMD product.
 
AMD is not all that bad, my R9 280x plays every game I throw at it, as does my GTX970 and GTX980Ti.
My 280x is as good if not better than the GTX980ti at a couple PG Genfer WUs.  21 and 22
 
I think the color is more vibrant with the AMD card for some reason. Not a bad card at all.
I had it paired with a hexcore AMT 1045T overclocked to 4ghz and it played every game just as well as my i7-3939K

OK A Little Off Sides is all. And I still have the AMD R9 290X Graphics Cards.

Talk about a Scare Factor Howdy.

Yes but No, I did not have my first Intel processor until BigAdv came out. Until that point I have never owned a Intel CPU. AMD was the underdog giving the bully Intel a run for its money on the gaming end of CPUs but couldn't touch them on the nVidia GPU side. Also, nVidia was the "little" guy on that part too. This goes way back to BFG and their take on the "lifetime warranty" card swap who then went out of business and I found little ole EVGA doing the same idea. WOW am I old.....................

Yes we are getting old, and I did go back to AMD CPUs in the BigAdv Days

Of course I'm. I have 2 of them, soon will start work on 2nd permanent setup just for running BOINC. But if Zen's performance is better and I can get for example this 16 core/32 threads Naples beasts for the price of 6950K or so then it's a no-brainer for number crunching! AMD cannot afford to do Intel and charge outrageous amount of $$$ because nobody will buy it. They need for Zen to sell very well right of the bat and Intel will drop prices immediately to stay competitive (that will be depressing experience for most folks who already bought overpriced chips by good factor...).
 
You're a bit extreme with dropping EVGA (yeah ...EVGA...) when they make AMD product. I'm far from being a fan of AMD. I've said that after 4 disasters/or near ones/ with AMD cards (all 4 I owned) I'll never again buy card from AMD, even if nVidia is not top of the line (hard to imagine at this moment in time). However AMD CPUs were always competitive until the time when AMD missed the train called 'Intel-Core-architecture'. If they deliver superb Zen product I have no problems with trying it. 

I don't agree with the idea. I'm a firm believer in  the more different products/items you produce and make, the lower your quality control and quality assurance is.

Over 8 years ago EVGA released this information. Despite the length of time I haven't seen any manager of EVGA release anything to the contrary since that time for AMD processors and/or AMD video cards:

Again, with your amazing mind.

 
Moved to Hardware.

i think evga has a partnership with nvidia and intel tbh lol.
