For now EVGA operations are ongoing. 

I guess it surprises me as most of their other items are not really "made" PSU, CLC, Keyboard, Mice, etc. They really don't "make" anything anymore lol. Profit margins have to be pretty poor over GPUs in the long run as they sure sold more GPU's then their other products from the looks of it. I hope Evga stays around but midweek madness seems to be over perm so I have nothing to buy.

Actually that is not really true. Profits made on EVGA PSUs for example seem to be better per percentage than previous GPU sales. EVGA is moving along quite well.

That definitely seems to be the case. Corsair for example could easily have of entered the GPU market place instead they stick with PSU and mice and keyboards as well as SSD and RAM. Nobody seems to be saying Corsair isn't in the GPU market they must be about to close.

Hoggle,
 
Well put!
 
 
 
Captain Discombobulate,
 
in 2008-06-03 i bought Corsairs's 1st PSU: the "CMPSU-620HX".
 
it was a 620W ATX12V v2.2 and EPS12V 2.91.
 
i say "was" because, well, read further:
 
Corsaire picked it to be their 1st PSU because Seasonic made it and ppl would LUV it. And as a result, their foot would be all the way into the PSU-Marketplace-Door.
 
The Corsair "620HX" (OEM Seasonic) as ppl came to know it, was beloved by all users that used it, including me; because it was an unbelievable PSU. and yes, Corsaire has profited for going on two decades as a result of starting with that one single PSU (OEM Seasonic).
 
The Corsaire 620HX (OEM Seasonic) was originally in my 2008 Crysis build (with Intel E8400 Wolfdale CPU and BFG GTX8800 Video Card). That PC became a Media Center TV Server in 2003.
 
And u know what? it has ran non-stop for 10 years! it has always been on. grand total life equals 15 years. (Edit: of the Corsaire 620HX PSU.)
 
Corsaire moved on to less quality OEM PSUs much of the time so u have to be carefull with PSUs from them. In otherwords u must research who made their PSUs... BECAUSE CORSAIRE HAS NEVER EVER MADE A PSU!!!
 
But EVGA has continued to improve their PSU line, by using better and better OEMs.
 
PS
and in the said Media Center TV server ^^, i replaced the GTX8800 in 2003 with one of my two EVGA GTX560-Ti video cards. so it too has ran for 10 years straight. EVGA has much potential to continue! IMO they have plenty of good rep with PSUs alone (let alone all other products of theirs) to counter any negativity coming at them constantly from all directions. 

Yikes don't compared evga to corsairs power supplies lol. Just because they provide power doesn't mean they are on the same level. Also Corsair makes more money on memory then the power units. Corsair has diversified way better then evga has over the years. Example there keyboard and mice actually are good along with their liquid coolers and fans. They have more innovation then evga does in these other category's

You call exiting graphics card market and soon the motherboard market moving along quiet well....
 
EVGA will take a big hit on PSU sells due to no longer selling graphics cards. EVGA latest PSU offering only has a 3 year warranty. Then we have hardware reviewers like GamerNexus telling viewers EVGA is slowly winding things down. That's causes consumers to think twice about buying EVGA products.

I firmly believe eVGAs future at this point rides on redesigning the old SLI line of boards (obviously drop SLI from the name) and launching a more budget enthusiast board on both Intel and AMD platforms. The X570 AMD boards were actually good boards. The X79 SLI I had 11 years ago found it’s way back to me still working.

 
With EVGA BIOS team out the door and KingPin looking for new hardware partnership. I doubt will see any EVGA motherboards for Intel CPU's coming out 2H of 2024.
 

That’s the biggest issue. The talent is leaving. We might just be seeing the end of an era. I actually decided to stick to AM4 on my build this year and will probably be running my 5800X (soon a 5900X) for the next 4 years. I got an X570 eVGA board on the way from eBay. I did buy the Allstate protection thing so yeah. It was between that or the Crosshair X570 Extreme. It’s truly crazy how much longer hardware is relevant now. And it’s sad to see Evga slowing down. Who knows they may not be going away but they surely aren’t top dogs anymore.

Hey, welcome to the X570 gang. Atleast for the time being you will have a decent AM4 board.

I've been over here like "this is a long slow process" and then the forums we down for hours this morning and wasn't I sitting here all "uh oh". Don't scare me like that.

So what y'all are saying is spend your EVGA bucks now? 

lol that program died out ages ago.

It wasn't quite a year ago... 8/11/2022 was when they sent the payouts for the program, I got 37 dollars lol

Yeah...it was more of an off-the-cuff joke about it being "ages"...just like I'm fairly certain nateman was joking about spending bucks now.

so many of my fav sites are no more, and i just read the first three ^^ anymore.

This reminds me of how Fry's electronics when out of business. They Stopped restocking the shelves. They left their employees clueless as to what was going on.
 
Very sad.

*snip* ...I am optimistic though that someone will buy the brand and continue the business model that made EVGA great... *snip*

 
I'm sure someone would have gladly taken over (although far less likely now CEO Andrew Han has all but destroyed the company), however it seems Andrew Han was unwilling to sell EVGA - he's apparently determined to take the company down completely and retire. Why take the company down though? No idea - probably because he's a giant tool. Instead of leaving a legacy of captaining arguably the best company in the business, his legacy is to be pretty much despised by everyone for intentionally sinking the ship.
 
 

Hopefully my EVGA products will run for quite some time without issue...because I have no idea if they could be sent to anyone for repair.  So far so good...and I suspect no issues.  Even with my current BIOS,...all is running well.  
 
If at some point in the future I have to do a new build, I'll have to decide which company/brand to go with.  Which sucks....because I WOULD have gone EVGA again.

EVGA's PSUs are getting worse, not better.  If EVGA is going to be the next Corsair, things would have to change.  They would have to improve their quality and reduce their development time to match their competition.
EVGA's mice and keyboards are nothing to rave about either.  Those mostly need software and firmware improvement, but also some have quality/design issues.

Do you think shareholders give a $.  EVGA can put their sorry ass right back on map. Hmm..   Copyright, production,.  "Skinner"

Please Stay cause I never gonna dance again guilty feeling I got no rhythm. Cause I never gonna dance again the way I did with EVGA.
