Brandon H Supervisor Posted September 16, 2022 Supervisor Share Posted September 16, 2022 whoa that's out of left field. I've always liked their Nvidia cards; they've been rather reputable over the years. I can't watch the video right now as I'm at work. anyone care to give the summary of what's up and why they're making this decision?

farmeunit Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Wow... I would say the NVidia Partner Program. It's always been a bit shady. hellowalkman 1 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1421556-evga-will-no-longer-do-business-with-nvidia/#findComment-598762218 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing how low the margins are for AIBs, I wonder if it even would be worth it for EVGA to join some one else like AMD or Intel Brandon H 1 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1421556-evga-will-no-longer-do-business-with-nvidia/#findComment-598762221 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just got my notification to complete my Steam Deck order yesterday anyway so that'll be my main for a while. It also seemed that NVIDIA viewed their partners as "not doing anything". I really hope that EVGA either negotiates with AMD/Intel for that creative freedom they want; or even branch out into their own card designs. But alas, a big part of what made this industry great is now gone. But TLDR for people: NVIDIA not informing even partners of pricing until they announce it to consumers (making planning difficult) NVIDIA not even giving working drivers to partners before the press has them (making development and testing difficult) NVIDIA heavily locking down the freedom partners have with improvements and/or advancements of the card designs NVIDIA undercutting partners by manufacturing their own cards at a reduced cost so they can undersell their partners (forcing them to lose money to stay competitive) NVIDIA relationships being one-sided, supposedly the company seeing partners as "not doing anything" EVGA CEO wanting more time with family, and the NVIDIA partnership was eating up lots of time and effort EVGA is not presently interested in partnerships with AMD or Intel.

Jim K Global Moderator Posted September 16, 2022 Global Moderator Share Posted September 16, 2022 Saw the Gamers Nexus video earlier today...unexpected. I'm not sure if they will survive this in the long run. All they have, aside from the GPUs are their PSUs (yea...I know motherboards and some other products). They aren't in a position like ASUS who could cut their GPU side and barely sweat it. Anyway, hopefully they won't end up like BFG... hellowalkman 1 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1421556-evga-will-no-longer-do-business-with-nvidia/#findComment-598762254 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Scrip Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 It sounds like NVidia is a terrible company to work with. So will we see similar actions from the other AIB partners? I've heard this could potentially ruin EVGA. Is it worth it for them to take this stance? I'm curious to see how MSI, Gigabyte, Asus, Asrock, and others will act. And to think... the GPU market seems to finally be getting back to normal. But now my preferred GPU vendor is quitting NVidia. Sad day. hellowalkman 1 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1421556-evga-will-no-longer-do-business-with-nvidia/#findComment-598762266 Share on other sites More sharing options...

+InsaneNutter MVC Posted September 17, 2022 MVC Share Posted September 17, 2022 During the GPU shortage I noticed it was only founders edition Nvidia GPU's that could be purchased at MSRP here in the UK, GPU's from anyone else we're double the price minimum and then some when in stock... Makes me wonder if the likes of Scan had an agreement with Nvidia not to inflate the price of founders edition GPU's? As a consumer I was grateful not to be paying over the odds for a GPU, however it's not good reading to learn how other AIB's are been treated. hellowalkman 1 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1421556-evga-will-no-longer-do-business-with-nvidia/#findComment-598762320 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't provide a source, but I recall reading that in order to be the exclusive Founders Edition seller in the UK, they HAD to be sold at MSRP. The flip side of that, was that Scan would have been the sole receiver of distributor stock, so wouldn't have been gouged on that front either.

goretsky Supervisor Posted September 20, 2022 Supervisor Share Posted September 20, 2022 Hello, This is a bit sad to hear. EVGA has been my go-to vendor for video cards and for power supplies for quite some time, as well as a few motherboards. They have been a solid vendor with exceptional customer service, and I plan on continuing to use them for the foreseeable future. An important thing that the video mentioned is that EVGA is keeping sufficient inventory of replacement cards in order to handle warranties and RMA services.
