EVGA denies that company is shutting down and exiting PC business - Dexerto

Online rumor has sparked a fervent discussion that EVGA is shutting up shop. But, those rumors appear to be unfounded, or so the company claims.

However, there are almost no products for sale on the EVGA website. But it could also be, that they supply their partners first.

Didn't they basically signal this months ago when they said they were getting out of the GPU game?
 
aaahhh my EVGA 3080 Ti FTW3 will go on a wall after it's duties are done. EVGA for the most part has always had solid GPUs.
 
EVGA was great. It'll be sad to see them go. I didn't own an EVGA GPU but the PSU i had from them was built like a tank and never gave me a problem. I sold it only because I thought I needed a more power PSU and I wanted a cable for Nvidia RTX cards instead of having to use the adapter.

Yeah but they were expected to stay in the PSU and motherboard game and commit to warranties, I guess at this point it's a skeleton crew till inventory is gone.
 
Really sucks. They were the best AIB partner for nvidia cards by some distance. They also made great power supplies and higher end motherboards.

They will be missed.
 
Their power supplies are not available in Poland for about a year anymore.
Gpus were never available here.
Neither motherboards.

EVGA never existed for me lol
 
As I said on reddit, if this is indeed true, such a SHITTY ENDING to an amazing company. CEO should've pivoted to AMD until they made up with Nvidia.

AMD has a much smaller market share. And they already have established partners, like Shaphire.
Even if EVGA could do it, they would get a small percentage, of a small market share.
 
Once they said they were out of the GPU game, that was that.

People saying they also made PSUs need to understand they didnt actually make those PSUs, I believe EVGA PSUs were made by SuperFlower, who now sell in more markets and I guess stopped making EVGA power supplies some time back.

Motherboards in general have become something thats not even borderline profitable because the chipsets are so expensive.
I dont know anyone other than extreme overclockers who actually buy "highend" motherboards.....basically every bottom of the barrel motherboard that has the chipset you are looking for will do 99% of the job of the more expensive one.

Accessories is barely a viable business worth mentioning if you are transitioning from making GPUs and shit.....who is honestly gonna pay top dollar for an EVGA keyboard/mouse when there are millions of alternatives.


What made EVGA so good was almost entirely their GPUs, you always knew you were getting quality....they were one of few GPU makers who actually loaded up their GPUs with thermal sensors and would actually test said GPU to make sure it was effectively always a golden sample.


EVGA was dead the day they left the GPU market especially considering how much of their revenue was from that market.

Rest in power.

I think you underestimate the level of respect and loyalty that EVGA had. They would have skyrocketed to be the top AMD partner, and maybe even legitimize AMD in some peoples' eyes.
 
I never owned a EVGA product but I understand they are top quality so I wonder what that says about the market going forward, if anything.
 
Man, that's actually a loss. EVGA's stuff has been pretty solid for me. Now Asus on the other hand can go die in a fire. They just have to plug in one of their mainboards to start one after all.

I purchased their RTX 3090, one of the best cards i had.

Kinpin was probably the best third party card series in the market, huge loss for pc gamers.

It wasnt just quality, they also had a rock solid return policy and an upgrade program, you could effectively sell them back your old GPU to get a new one from them when the next generation came along.

They also had [the name escapes me] program where you could buy heavily discounted components from the website.

During the pandemic they were probably the only AIB not scalping consumers to death if you bought directly from them.....you just had a waitlist.

Here's the translated letter, make what you want from it:

hello

We would like to inform you about EVGA

Currently, all EVGA Taiwan office employees have resigned (including Kingpin).

Closures seem to be becoming a fait accompli here.

I don't know what the warranty issue will be, but I hope EVGA users won't have any complaints about this issue.

I wonder what will happen in the future

We'll have to wait for EVGA's official announcement.

Maybe but wouldn't some ride it out to see if they could sell the company or something? It doesn't make sense for everyone to just do it
 


i dunno if this is drama or provides more context to this situation:

basically he is saying tha EVGA vs Nvidia is not the entire story.(this dude worked in the industry he has an NDA. someone wrote him explaining the issue -paraphrasing-):

EVGA's CEO made financial mistakes and he couldn't turn things around.

Andrew took a lot of credit from several companies due to the boom of crypto mining but the timing backfired when the demand for GPU started to decrease.

Andrew had a lot of debt that couldn't be paid...and this situation was not the first time it happened, so the companies refused to extend the credit. he panicked and tried to anchor the issue against Nvidia.
 
EVGA GPUs were always solid and never had any issues for me, I've had to switch to ASUS and I swear every now and then I get a GPU driver crash.
 
One brand I was always loyal to, bought at least 5 of their GPUs. Was sad I had to go with another brand for my 4080.

RIP
 
They were the OGs of the trade-up programs too, if I remember correctly.

This isn't good for gamers, less competition. Expect Asus to slowly increase prices over this.

Yep, my previous 4 Nvidia cards were from them.

Fantastic designs, great reliability and one of the few aib's out there who had a global warranty that actually meant global.

GPUs were 90% of their business, which they voluntarly rage quit like a child in Fortnite cause Nvidia wouldn't let them sell 4090s over $2000 or 4080s over $1600. They priced gouged 3000s like all the other companies and made their fake wait list that sold mining operations multiples of every SKU cause they didn't actually enforce any puchase limits, just happily resold to the same people every time a new batch came in. They can get fucked as far as I'm concerned.

I bought EVGA exclusively for video cards and power supplies for years. They had outstanding warranties and the best GPU's with wonderful upgrade policies. I miss them already.

It does suck. It seems like they are the only AIB partner who tried to create a high quality premium product with the best support and warranty. And there's no room in the backward-ass GPU market anymore.

Imagine someone defending nvidia over EVGA.

Leonidas would be proud.

People here/elsewhere were being delusional and were actually trying to convince others their motherboards and PC accessories would keep them afloat.

The only thing they had going for them [besides GPU's] was their superflower PSU's (i.e. the G2 and G3), and EVGA fucked that up.

Not defending Nvidia, they certainly pre-gouged all the 4000s with their hierarchical shift down multiple tiers, but at least they put a limit on aibs fucking us further. Imagine defending EVGA cause they wanted to sell 4090s for $2500.

I don't defend EVGA for what they wanted to charge for the 4090 (if that's true. We will never know). I will defend them for their step up programs. Their warranty. Their waitlist which made it possible for me to get a 3080 at near MSRP when they were selling for over twice as much on eBay. March of 2021. Things you will NEVER get from any other company. Most people here would pay a premium for their products.

So yeah, I will defend them.

They discontinued all their "near MSRP" 3080s and made new SKUs that were significantly more expensive. P.S. Nvidia's enforced price caps were the only reason the aibs weren't selling them for ebay valuations themselves.

Bullshit. They were not significantly more expensive. It cost me $829 to get my 3080. You weren't getting a 3080 for anywhere remotely close to that price from any manufacturer or anywhere else during March of 2021. $129 over MSRP ($699 was MSRP for the generic 3080) is fairly normal for GPUs.
 
I have their 3080. A 970 and I think I had their 680. Only for my 1080 I had Asus.

Wow wtf, is this true? So what was the excuse about nvidia having low margin profit and they had higher profit margins on PSUs, buncha fud?

It's like people forget the shitty hw from evga because of their good warranty. They cheaped out on thermal pads during the 1000 series. Their 3080s were crashing on the game New World, albeit it was the games fault but evga was only 1 or 2 aib that it occurred on.

I only bought evga back then like during the 2004 era and their fans on the gpu were quite shitty and failed. Stopped buying them ever since.

And what was the reason for EVGA wanting to sell for higher prices? Perhaps it has to do with Nvidia hiking the prices it charges AIBs? But sure, it was the bad EVGA and good guy Jensen prevented them from scalping more.

What really killed EVGA is that they couldn't survive on the margins the likes of Asus, Gigabyte and MSI could since they didn't have their own manufacturing. Once Nvidia hiked the prices on 4000 series to AIBs, EVGA was fucked.
 
My first evga was the 8800gtx acs3. Buyed only evga for myself and friends. Had like 50 gpus from them combined. 8 rmas which all went very smooth but damn that were alot of rmas. Stopped buying evga for my friends and family pcs and all cards from 1000 series onward are still alive. I think thats around 15 gpus.

So while i liked evga i stoped buying them anyway. Board design and coolers were very basic unless you cashed the high end offerings. MSI 1060 i installed for a friend that was close to the cheapest option had a cooler design on par with my pretty high end 980ti or later the 1080 from evga.
