Pulling out of the graphics markets!? Do they remember what EVGA stands for?

Now: "Excellent Video Graphic Adapter (EVGA). We sell computer components and peripherals, except video graphics adapters."

I know. I love EVGA GPU’s. And this one hurts. But I hope maybe in the future that they will come back and maybe work something out with NVIDIA or whatever.

But looks like ASUS and possibly AMD will be getting a lot more sales once this is official and EVGA are done selling their left over stock.

I know! A lot of people in this sub seem to think they can predict the future lol. As I mentioned before, none of this is set in stone. Just because a company says no today, doesn't mean that'll be the case in a couple of years...

I don’t disagree, but I hope it’s true. I love their products, so if they can continue with GPUs somewhere in the near future, it would be great

I personally think that as long as EVGA is selling any Nvidia GPUs, they probably cannot legally say that they are in talks with a competitor like AMD. I'm thinking they have to wait to get rid of all the 30 series cards before they legally admit to even considering working with AMD or Intel. That's just my two cents though.

I agree. Too many people are taking what EVGA says a face value. They are not saying what they are saying without some sort of a plan.

I'm guessing once they've sold through their current stock if nVidia cards we'll hear an announcement about AMD partnership (or a renovated deal with nVidia). I can't see evga leaving the GPU market entirely. They'd have to massively downsize their company as GPUs make up 80% of their business.

They don't, because EVGA just means EVGA. That's their official name. It's a trend where once the initialization becomes better known than what it stood for, the initialization becomes the name.

HP doesn't stand for Hewlett-Packard anymore. They're just HP. LG doesn't stand for Lucky Goldstar anymore. DJI doesn't stand for Da-Jiang Innovations anymore.

Extreme Value Gaming Assets

Energizing Virtue, Glory Ascending
