You've been on a miners rant tonight, for sure.
Are you saying with this That EVGA is going to change over to a Mining Company from an Enthusiast & Gaming Computer Company All I have seen this year so far from new members is the Bashing of EVGA ELITE Membership Program and it's Membership along with the Company. It is like the new members are blaming this lack of Graphics Cards all on EVGA. But then other OEMs would not allow this type of Forum Post in the first place. Then EVGA could just be allowing their Forum the place to vent the hardships of not being able to buy a Graphics Card this year because the Gamers are buying up all the Graphics Card and now the miners cannot buy a Graphics Card to support their Life Savings Plan. I guess I should also add that the Gamers have taken all the Power Supplies and the Miners can no longer buy a 1000 Watt or Higher PSU ATM. Remember that it is really the Gamers that have made it hard to Mine this Year so the Game Companies need to reduce the number for Users allowed to buy their Game and then this would allow more miners to start mining once more. Ok this New Miners' Rant is Now Over. Mine On!

Limiting to one card per lifetime is the best method. These are consumer cards and EVGA is trying to build brand loyalty with consumers; not miners. Miners have no brand loyalty.

This would mean you could never build another computer in your lifetime nor ever run SLI mode.
This means when you have Kids you all have to use the Same Computer for all your Lifetimes.
This also would never allow anyone who buys your home to buy a Graphics Card because it is based on Address.
I am NOT a Miner and Never will be but have 10 Computers most EVGA hardware and Most have 2 or more Graphics Cards Installed.
You are single minded and cannot see beyond your eyes with your statement of One Card Per Lifetime.
If you want to say something, say it to my face; not through pms where you can hide. You really think we believe you need 10 of the SAME card at the SAME address for EVERY product? YOU are single minded and cannot see beyond your own statement. Miners gotta be miners though and will use any excuse...

So you REALLY think you need 10 of each graphics card before EVERYONE else? What is sad about that statement? Yes pal...its EACH graphics card not all of them. So you can currently only buy 1 of each graphics card but you suddenly need 10 of them? I wonder why... ...and please stop PMing me.

Definitely in favor of the limit, but there has to be some kind of balance on the timeline. Six months+ doesn't seem that reasonable to me, especially as my kids get into gaming and are starting to build their machines in our house.

They should also limit 1 card per household per year though. Because what if you want to buy another card next year to have SLI update.

Personally wish we could go back to status quo. Buy however many cards you want or need of each type. Many of us run SLI, but the 1 card per household limit pretty much kills that, which has the purpose of their customers buying the cards elsewhere. And to be honest, I almost never buy my cards direct from EVGA.
I understand that EVGA is doing this to make it so others get a chance at a card as well. Which is a moot point anyway because nothing is available.

Even if you ask your relative buy one for you. You still need an effort to get 100 post. I can barely reach 50 for the whole day. This practice is pretty good as deterring some miners.

I just looked again and you can buy 4 refurbs/household/.
Supply and demand, everyone is price gouging with Amazon being the worst of the bunch. I'm putting my plans on hold for now.
amazon is the worst, neweggs stock isnt much better

I do not mean to come across as ignorant, but I see on various media, EVGA posting rigs made up with numerous sli graphics cards, yet if I were wanting to buy more than 1 so I can sli my rig, I am unable to do so, as it states only 1 per household and if I search other sellers they say the same thing? I know there are several ways around this problem, but if I can get a good bargain on a graphics card, why should I be forced to buy from somewhere else at a possibly much increased price, why can I not just buy multiple from one source? What is the point of showing what your rig can look like if you are only limiting 1 item per household, seems to be a little self defeatist.

Probably because of the supply and demand, there's shortages currently (as you can see with the crazy prices). Probably don't want miners going and buying 10 cards. It's better for a company to have 10 people buy 1 card than 1 person buy 10.

In resume, this. Also, this is a way for all of the customers that have been waiting for a chance to get at least one 10 series card and couldn't because of shortage and mining craze out there.

Everybody's mouths are full of "think about gamers" or "gamers are ours only true customers" and other BS, not a single manufacturer did nothing to prevent or even minimize this by smallest of margins. This "1 per household" is what we call "too little, to late". But it is still better than without it since someone can grab a card at larger price that it was on initial release :) If so, nVidia first should somehow disable/jam mining algorithms or something to prevent or significantly reduce mining thru-output in next series of its gaming graphic cards' (Turing architecture) series GTX 20X0 and produce mining cards and sell them separately without any collision between these 2 worlds. Personally I am not a miner nor I have time to be 12-14 hrs available to follow all that market and rigs and trades, but I from time to time, I like to play new games and that's why I bought GTX1080. So, I really hope something will be different with Turing series, since for Pascal is too late.

Probably not gonna change anytime soon... and I'm glad I built a year ago. Building a PC today wouldn't be nearly as fun. I'd also wager that as a business Nvidia doesn't care who they sell GPUs to.

Too little too late? It's been limit 1 per household for months and months and months. I think that due to these limits, much of the miner cards were probably purchased at places like Best Buy, Fry's Electronics, and Microcenter. So, in the end, it may not have made much difference other than slowing the bleed. I bought mine GTX 1080 in early July 2017. At that time, 1060 and 1070 were nearly impossible to purchase anywhere. When my supplier asked me if I wanna switch to EVGA GTX 1080 with great pricing for time being (approx 30% off price than nowdays), I lurked about specifics of that card here on EVGA site and I am 100% sure that I didn't see that note "1 per household". Furthermore, mining fever with nVidia cards started around a year ago IIRC. As we agreed, story of Pascal based cards is over. Turing cards are here in couple of weeks time. duckpond
Is it realistic to believe they will? I mean they can't churn them out fast enough, a buck is a buck, a euro is a euro
Personally, nVidia will do absolutely nothing regarding our wishes :) If Turing will be good for mining, we will have a deja-vu of 2017. Also, every single reviewer told how AMD's Vega is not quite a progress, and yet, every single card that left factory is sold. At the end of the day, nVidia's and AMD's GPU business is booming and blooming. until 2017 - how many FPS from 2017 - how many MH/s squall-leonhart
To give the illusion that they care more about gamers than the money involved in any legitimate purchase.
Money is money. And those miners are far more better than gamers since gamers buy 1-2 card per year or per 1-architecture period. Miners buy all stocks. [Merged with existing thread, title was: Why do EVGA limit the amount of graphics cards you can buy to 1 per house hold. edit Cool GTX]
