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.

To be honest, I really really hope that evga can continue to produce Nvidia graphics cards, after all, this is a large part of the income, and I really want to use the evga4090kinpin video card, it is very powerful and very easy to use, I would rather increase the price Buy

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.

There is a saying in my country: do good to the devil; he will reward you with hell. Han probably realized that hell reward from Nvidia is coming, so before total destruction of the company they quit, which is a power move. This also means that cards from other "partners" will be total crap, because they will have to save as much as possible on quality to avoid big financial losses, so I will wait after detailed reviews and hardware evaluations before buying. FE will be probably ok, but not sold in my country.

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?

This is a loss in the quality market...

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.

EVGA,
This move saddens me, as for me, EVGA is the company to go to for my hardware needs.  I do understand why this had to come to dropping this partnership.  I hope NVIDIA feels this deep in their pockets and changes their ways of doing business.
 
That being said I hope EVGA will pick up another video partner and continue to sell great video cards in the future.  EVGA is the only reason I haven't tried AMD based cards.  EVGA has traditionally been second to none in their innovations and world class support.
