I think the only answer you can expect is that they are committed to fulfilling their commitments. Aside from that, who knows. How? Will they effectively? No one has a crystal ball.

How did they kill the company? They still sell other products a lot of them and they can add more if theyre really desperate they can do what gamestop did and sell pop figures and plushies

I wouldn't worry unless they go bankrupt or shutdown completely. I wouldn't be surprised if they gave other companies' cards in the future if they need to

80% of the sales was from GPU’s. Giving that up is death. PSU’s won’t even come close to making it back, besides the PSU’s are just rebrands anyways.


Company is effectively dead now

If they don't die (I hope they don't), I don't think the concern is necessarily about whether the company dies, but more about what kind of stock will they have in 5 or 10 years for a warranty replacement for a card they have committed to cover under a warranty agreement. There may not be any equal or greater new cards to offer, and will they still have a stockpile of old cards?
We'll see. I'm sure they'll figure something out.





I would love to see them do well with a non-NVIDIA GPU.

80% of Sales BUT only 3% of the company profits .... yes, EVGA can survive - it looks plausible

It feels to me lioe EVGA's GPUs peaked and were on a decline. According to the Gamers Nexus video, EVGA was painted into a corner where being competitive and innovative was a very hard thing to do. Rather than a boring painful decline, EVGA changed their situation.
If things work out, by terminating their partnership, EVGA opened up exciting opportunities.

Those with 5, 7 and 10 year warranties means this. 
As long as EVGA has enough revenue to stay open you will be semi ok at least until they run out of cards and they are already sending b stock to new card owners in their first 30 days of ownership so it is not looking good.

If Andrew Han does not sell whatever is left of EVGA's GPU division to another company much like what GFG did with PNY to handle warranty. Then you are boned.


I do not even want to purchase my 3090 TI's 7 year warranty before I got it today this news dropped. I feel like I will get robbed of 240 bucks like they robbed me of my 2nd day air shipping and sent it ground just this year. Especially with all the events unfolding.... Honestly it's all shady and very Andrew Han ish... Hes been a slow disaster since his takeover of EVGA from his business partner and co-owner who actually built up EVGA and made it awesome.

I do not see them staying alive long for RMA's/Support/Updates. Andrew Han has effectively cut their main source of revenue, then their reputation/credibility is about to go out the window. Watch gamers nexus's video Andrew Han is not selling, he will let EVGA die, he will just let the company exist until it can no longer pay its employees with these side products then he will cut the lights and send everyone home. The dude is done and is ready to go down with the ship that is EVGA pushing it to its death.

Andrew Han lied they are trying to get rid of B-stock asap they wont have anything set to the side 999.99 for a b-Stock RTX 3090 TI FTW3 Ultra Gaming... Hes cashing out.
 

I'm sure they'll continue to fulfill their obligations as long as the reserved stock for RMAs is available. Worst case you're talking about pro-rated refunds for the remaining time left on the warranty for extended ones. you're talking costs of 160-240 on the top ends for $1500 or more so while I get people are concerned its not like you're suddenly out thousands of dollars.  I would not think a company would continue to actively sell GPUs knowing they wouldn't have sufficient reserves for even newly sold units to be replaced within their default warranty period.

evga still cover your warranty guys come down 

for now, which is what everyone has stated.  the issue is at some point there won't be a way for them to do so.  I posted the BFG letter in the link above and those of us that have been around have seen this play out before.  BFG was my favorite brand (US Based) and them closing operations is how I found EVGA honestly.  RMA operations will close in 2 years.  (my guess)  

Put it this way, they're holding back enough product that they should be able to meet all their commitments.

EVGA has been an upstanding vendor for DECADES.
But you're rattled by this.  So you immediately react like rats on a sinking ship.

Calm down.
Remember the electronics bathtub curve.
And in many cases, you're going to upgrade a GPU WELL before the end of a 10 year warranty.

You remind me on Nero (fiddled while Rome burned)
Comparing people who reasonably express concern for their vested money with "rats on a sinking ship" is quite rude and offensive.
 
To remotely think that is possible for EVGA to grant 5 or 10 years warranty???
How do you know how many GPU units EVGA need to withhold for honoring warranty issues?
They are OUT of GPU business.

At the first negative piece of press, you're instantly thinking "what can I get out of this".

So my observation stands.

If you bought such a warranty, you OBVIOUSLY thought it was possible.

No, they're out of the NEW GPU business AFTER THIS CURRENT GENERATION.

And I don't need to know.
EVGA knows what their warranty obligations out there.
And they have an idea of what their failure rate is.

Also, this does NOT stop them from getting NEW parts kits for the extant platform.

How do they know what to buy?

I little magical thing we call "MATH".

This right here spot on. I remember when BFG also sold their GPU division to PNY. Then those people got screwed as PNY applied their Lifetime Warranty of the lifetime of the product to EOL.

eol = end of life.
