Will EVGA Survive? 

EVGA is the one who doesn't want to work with Intel and AMD. There's nothing they can do.

@@janbenes3165 very true for video cards.. but motherboards are still either Intel or AMD chipsets, so they will still work with those.. But if EVGA decided to go with different video card GPU's like Intel, then that would be very interesting how those will turn out.

@@rknudson1407 There's nothing stopping EVGA from making more motherboards. They've been doing it till now. They can continue if they want to. But they don't. From the little we know it seems the CEO is just running the company to the ground because he doesn't want to keep going but doesn't want to sell it either.

⁠@@janbenes3165lol what does the CEO want then?

​@@HardwareSciencehe wants the company to die while under his control

Do you recall in Beauty and the Beast when the Beast caged those birds because he loved their singing, but their depression made them not sing anymore? That bird is EVGA. The singing was never ours to begin with and we could only enjoy it for as long as EVGA was a happy bird. There was no option to keep them. 😭

Yeah it honestly seems a bit selfish in some ways. I get why they don't want to work in the GPU space anymore but also they just tanked the entire company and destroyed many jobs to make a point which is falling on deaf ears anyway. A real shame.

@@SpartanArmy117 they projected the company would fail anyways if they continued under Nvidia just a little while longer down the road. Nvidia is screwing all these smaller companies over hard to the point where there isnt really a point for a lot of these companies to continue

evga isnt dead though. Its been less than a year since they departed. EVGA was being restrained and robbed so they left. They will most likely drop a graphics card next spring. They made the 4090 better than nvidia did so why would they just give up? if anything nvidia is suffering the most and it will only get worse. EVGA will be back on top

They dipped while teasing us with the best looking 4000 series gpu

I saved up for months to get an evga ftw 4090 at launch....

No kidding. I'm going to treasure my FTW3 3080 long after it ceases to be used in my main rig.

Blame Nvidia. Seriously. Why even HAVE partners if they’re not going to actually TREAT them like partners?

Don’t be emo about a product from a company.

Aren’t capacitors pretty standard and easy to get? Or no?

@@yeahcxnt not so much when you are talking large scale manufacturing orders of hundreds of thousands or millions of them at a time. A single voltage and fared rated cap could potentially be in the design of the power circuitry for every single product they make so switching suppliers on that scale could have weeks of lead time if the manufacturer wasn't running a huge surplus. I chose caps as the example not just because everything uses at least a few of them but because you can find many past examples of massive product failure rates due to batches of bad capacitors.

Considering I just had to DMS every capacitor every supplied by one supplier and it appears in an insane number of our products.... This is very probably. Out situation is exaggerated though because Milspec and 25 years of continuing support isn't standard.

@@yeahcxnt If you change a supplier, the whole lot could have issues. This caused something called 'the capacitor plague' years ago, where almost everything had a time limit before death.

​@yeahcxnt if you want a few of them sure you could get them. But if you want literal truckloads like I'm sure evga would want it might take some time. The more you want of something, the longer it takes to get it.

Me too! I have no idea who to buy GPUs from now 😭

Same, first psu was evga.

​@@RosebudsRosebud666isn't rog preferred, I sure know that gigabyte makes terrible GPUs, saw a recent video of their cracking cards

​@@RosebudsRosebud666Sapphire makes really nice cards if you're willing to buy an AMD Radeon.

@@SirBrucie Mine as well: EVGA SuperNOVA 1600 T2, 80+ Titanium. Hopefully, it makes it to 10+ years; although the plug styles of future GPUs may make it prematurely obsolete

The CEO obviously want to shut the company down since he cannot find anyone suitable to take over and don't want to sell the brand to some one that would not meet their high quality.

@@Henrik_Holst which is stupid as hell, ridiculous narcissism

@@GTFour so you would rather see EVGA just turn into a label that say ASUS slaps on some lower end hardware? What would the benefit be of that?

they should make cases, i would totally get an evga branded case

Same. I fully intended to never buy a different brand GPU again

I've had very good experience with Sapphire as well, personally.

@@K1LO_ now I gotta decide which brand has less issues

@@wilkgr it's so easy to do the right thing and secure a costumer for life, yet nobody seems to be willing to do it

​@@wilkgrHeart says Sapphire, wallet says XFX.

@@elcactuar3354 Yep, it was always their customer service that got them their reputation. Not their hardware. But people are sentimental and nostalgic for them now, which is probably why they are the best producers all of the sudden. Edit: don't get me wrong, I'm not bashing them. They made hardware that was on par with the rest of the industry, with problems also being on par, but they dealt with those problems very well.

The problem with EVGA was their petty CEO

@@mikelay5360what a bad, uninformed comment

@@berengerchristy6256 seriously, that CEO should be fired or else that company will go the way of the dodo.

No gonna happened Cuz Intel or AMD not have great standard yet..

Sign of dying..

The 600B was the best bang for the buck and it's sad to see it go. I have a 750G and love it to bits. My friends got a start in PC gaming with a 600B and a Radeon R280x inside his Intel 4460 Dell computer. Sad to see them go if they do end up dying

This is actually a hilarious comment hahaha yeah rip the warranty 😂😂😂

Unfortunate how pettines can bring down a giant. They should fire that CEO and get back to GPUs

Addendum: On alternate EVGA's supernova line-up seems to be in stock, multiple models, but the price seems to be pretty inflated

@@hyperturbotechnomike Its a wait and see situation i guess.

Miss not kiss

@@enyboi The cards are great to kiss

​@@enyboiI kissed my EVGA 1060 multiple times

@@enyboi Just make sure it's unplugged for kissing. xD

Didnt expect they choose death sadly..

The majority of evga profits were from nvidia gpus so by them leaving nvidia gpu market they killed their own business. 😂

Nope sadly..

Sounds like they have a record breaking losses

I would have too but I bought a house

Sapphire if you go for AMD

Really. Nvidia has no reason to give a flying poop about me. They are carried by enterprise sales, not consumer sales. Kinda worried that the 5000 series is gonna be another joke generation, but maybe it’ll be like the 3000 series

They gotta give evga those gpu chips for free at this point lol.

@@pakee2352honestly with how much intel is already losing on arc cards with the recent massive markdowns I wouldn’t be surprised if they resorted to that lmao

@@blamingfish432 True but Evga is pretty much dead sadly. Such a shame. I loved their 1080ti and many other designs. Probably the best Aib company for nVidia that ever existed.

That wouldn't really fix anything. On the one hand, EVGA has experience making boards, not processing cores. ARC's shortcoming isn't even there though, its in software/firmware optimization. That's their crippling issue ATM. Horsepower wise, they're okay. Not crown tier, but acceptable. It's just that there aren't many things optimized to actually use that performance properly. The owner of EVGA/CEO has also stated quite explicitly that he has no intention of letting EVGA go, whether public or to a buyout. Finally, that exact thing is half the reason EVGA has such an outstanding track record- they don't have the bean counters that intel bows to meddling in things they do not understand. If intel acquired EVGA, it would take exceedingly little time for them to ruin their good name in the pursuit myopic greed. It WOULD be nice for ARC to become a serious competitor and duke it out with NVIDIA, but acquiring EVGA is not the way to do it, even if they were willing to work with intel, which reportedly, they are not.

evga just made coolers and pcbs. intel doesn't need that. They need to improve the gpu and the drivers.
