This is a sad day for the Enthusiast Builders indeed and guess my 3090 Ti will have to last a while but from what I have heard NVIDIA has turned in to a real piece of S#!& to work with and is out trying to manipulate the video card market prices and I can see why an honest company like EVGA just couldn't associate with them any longer.
 
EVGA Fan Bios unite! Long live EVGA!

Just found out about this news yesterday....hit hard!! *sigh*

Does Nvidia want to kill all AIB partners as they are competition?
 

I believe this is true. An insider said that Jensen wants Nvidia to be like Apple which means control everything.
I think once they build up the capacity they will dump AIB's.
 
I'll bet Andrew saw that handwriting on the wall and wanted to be the first to get out.

I am a bit surprised but when I learned a bit more of the details, I'm kinda glad that EVGA did that. I do not think I will ever buy anything NVIDIA ever again (except maybe EVGA 30 series cards) and really hope that EVGA continues their insanely awesome customer service and ideally start making GPUs in the future somehow. Could be AMD, or Intel or maybe a secret new company or maybe they have a core design themselves! That would be awesome! In any way I will support EVGA for sure!

Goodbye, and thanks for all the fish!

Ohhh !
 
That makes me sad....

Hoping that EVGA will consider partnering with AMD for video cards in the future. I know their current stance now is they have no plans but it really concerns me how EVGA will do a as a company without GPU sales. I have been an EVGA customer for the better part of 20 years now and will continue to be. I have no loyalty to NVIDIA, if EVGA ever offers AMD cards I will be buying them!

Same here, I have been a loyal EVGA customer for years and love the quality of their products. If they do actually go through with dropping the production of cards in the future where do you think Kingpin will end up going? Galax?

This is really all cryptos fault. Inconsiderate sods

The recession is already here watch the debt clock…. The time it took me to write this and make the post millions are already gone in both citizen and us companies. Just watch the numbers.

But yes EVGA won’t be around for ten years. Andrew Han is set and walking out unscathed.

EVGA was the only brand of graphics cards I've purchased up until now. EVGA were the only company I put faith in for looking after me if something went wrong. I was excited to purchase the new 4090.

I believe we're loosing one of, if not the best example of how to treat customers. Honor and ethics don't mean anything to the majority of people these days but If you're making this decision because of nvidia I can assume you're standing your ground for the right reasons. I'll just hope you guys come back and will always support EVGA.

It wasn't really bad soldering. It was a horrid voltage delivery design using cheap components that didn't protect the cards ftom transient voltage spikes. Which they took care of. I was one of the RMA's.

Long story short they skimped on components for a $2k video card (flagship)
Which baffled me.

I think its because how NVidia does not give them time to design their pcb.
I think a big tell is how long the kingpin cards take to come out. They take their time with them.
 
Really sad that they are leaving VGA. Just E left no pun intended.

Purchased my first EVGA video card in the mid 2000's and used them exclusively until switching to AMD two years ago when I switched to the Ryzen processors.  The customer service is second to none and they would had made a great partner with AMD. 

Man I just want to add my disappointment here as well. I always favored EVGA cards and felt confident due to their excellent customer support. I had already made up my mind not to purchase any 40 series cards due to their massive size and power requirements as my main use is for Octane Network rendering and I’m not ready to go full blown water cooling just yet. I bought several GPU’s last year during the “dark times” and only got an ASUS 3090 because nothing was moving in the EVGA queue and I stopped into Microcenter (for a $2 cable) at just the right time when one was available and so I snatched it. But I did eventually get from the queue two 3080 Ti Hybrids and really appreciate the system they put in place - while it took a while it allowed us to purchase cards at their regular obscene price as opposed the the horribly obscene mark ups from other outlets.

The uncertainty with warranties moving forward may certainly be an issue but I will continue to be a loyal EVGA customer if they are still around when I need a new PSU.

BTW - will there be a queue for the going out of business sale?

I don't have a lot of strong feelings about companies, but EVGA is an exception. I've been a loyal customer since my 8800 GTS and I'm truly disappointed to hear this news. I tell anyone who's building to use EVGA parts because they're solid gear and the customer service is unrivaled. If you guys return to the card market, I'll be here.
