EVGA exits GPU market reportedly due to conflicts with NVIDIA

EVGA has been one of NVIDIA’s main partners for many years, and today there is information that left many stunned.

EVGA will stop manufacturing GPUs altogether and this information comes from the JayZTwoCents and GamersNexus YouTube channels, who sat down with EVGA CEO Andrew Han to talk about his frustrations with NVIDIA as a partner and the reasoning behind the decision.

“We will not be at the turn of the Jensen Huang “CEO of NVIDIA” on stage, so I don’t want people to speculate what’s going on, when we’re not there“, GamersNexus Steve Burke quotes Han as saying. “EVGA has decided not to carry the next generation.”

When asked for comment, EVGA Director of Product Management Jacob Freeman pointed to Tom’s Hardware on its forums, where the company offered the following message:

“EVGA is committed to our customers and will continue to offer sales and support on the current line. Additionally, EVGA would like to thank our great community for the many years of support and enthusiasm for EVGA graphics cards.“. EVGA also confirmed that it will not carry the next generation of GPUs, that it will support current generation products, and that “will continue to provide current generation products“, although he did not specify for how long.

“We have had a great partnership with EVGA over the years and will continue to support them on our current generation of products.Bryan Del Rizzo, director of global public relations for GeForce at NVIDIA, told Tom’s Hardware. “We wish Andrew and our friends at EVGA all the best.“.

EVGA will reportedly continue with the existing RTX 30 series product line until it sells out. The company also won’t be moving to partner with AMD or Intel, with plans to focus on other products for the foreseeable future (EVGA already makes power supplies, coolers and motherboards, for example), but it won’t be expanding either. in new product categories. The company has reportedly held back some stock for the market in order to replace cards under warranty, which should protect current customers, at least for a while.
