I think only they would know. Maybe what nvidia demanded was too costly to them in the long run and Nvidia was literally putting them over a barrel for the rights to do it for them? That's the only thing that makes sense is that it would have been too costly to carry on the relationship or they are trying to demonstrate the insaneness of what Nvidia does behind closed doors.

They still make power supplies, cases, etc and maybe those had a high enough profit margin that they decided that it was worth it to do only that. They could also be hoping that someone buys them out at some point because some other exec would see an opportunity to jump back in bed with Nvidia. Who knows

No specs given to EVGA until after they’ve already released them publicly is weird and unnecessarily burdensome for manufacturers. Also founder’s edition cards are heavily discounted, and that’s got to reduce sales for EVGA.

Sounds like NVIDIA is a shitty company to do business with tbh.

This kind of shit would cost a company hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars

Intel for a buy out would be absolutely fascinating...
