It doesn't stand for anything. It was supposed to have a similar meaning to eBay.

This question has been asked every few months. There are a few old threads about it. You'll find that EVGA isn't meant to be an acronym. It is what it is.  Personally, I think they should come up with some witty humorous meaning for it though.

VGA stands for Video Graphics Array. Like, video cards.
Back in the late 90s/early 2000s, "e" was placed in front of names to establish that they are an electronic/online/computer-y business.
So, eVGA. EVGA.

Yep, EVGA used to be eVGA, and like others have said, it's not an acronym and this question is asked all the time.

You guys are completely wrong. It obviously stands for erotic gnomes venturing Antarctica, its the only answer that actually makes any sense.

It's actually pronounced "Ehv-guh". We capitalize it so you know to yell it when in conversation.

Then you may be put in a straight jacket, and go to the "Wacky Ward", as I call it. Maybe get arrested for public nuisance, and ask one of us to bail you out. We then reply "I have no idea who this willem445 dude is, officer!"

If one manages to get blown off into the distance when you do that...make sure to Youtube it. I think you'll win whatever fan-video-contest runs next with that...

 Touche is close though and correct at the same time. It's Extended Video Graphics Array. http://forums.evga.com/fb.ashx?m=155057 Past post by Blizzie. http://forums.evga.com/fb.ashx?m=155186 Past post by Shane. Why folk don't do what I did wondering the same thing myself back when I was new, Google it! Now I'm gonna go curl up again, darn cold, my head feels like it's got lead in it.

EVGA = Extended Video Graphic Adapter/Array http://acronyms.thefreedictionary.com/EVGA This is what EVGA stands for to me: Enthusiast Vicious Gaming Accessory. I think EVGA should change their acronym to my saying because EVGA is targeted for PC Enthusiast. EVGA is Vicious because the quality of their product's material is well built and it does a damn well good job in performance power for our PCs. EVGA is Gaming because gamers want a product with good performance for their gaming needs which EVGA delivers, AND EVGA has its own Gaming Community. EVGA is of course is an Accessory because its literally a piece of hardware you put in your PC So EVGA if you want to take/use my idea and change your acronym, by all means have it. EVGA you truly are the best company I have done business with IMO on the planet. Much love EVGA

I can understand where your coming from. In fact vicious does have the meaning of violence in it. How about this instead Victorious. I like the Victorious better because when gamers have an EVGA product they are Victorious in conquering the gaming world as well as conquering to get the highest benchmark score. Heck, look at K|ng P|n he is Victorious by having the highest 3D mark 11 score in the world all thanks to EVGA products. So it will now be this on how I see EVGA = Enthusiast Victorious Gaming Accessory.

Personally, I think the Ehv-guh pronunciation sounds like someone's choking on a hot dog.
I prefer E-V-G-A.
