If you want to build a gaming PC, you won't need an EVGA graphics card. The company is getting out of the business of making graphics processing units (GPUs). According to Tom's Hardware and Ars Technica, Andrew Han sat down with JayZTwo Cents and GamersNexus to reveal EVGA's decision. He spoke about his issues with the company.
Despite their history, Han said that NVIDIA had stopped treating EVGA as a true partner. New product announcements and important information, such as suggested retail pricing and availability, were no longer provided by the company. The same time we all do, add-in board partners like EVGA can find out about the latest products. Vendors were forced to mark down their prices due to the low prices of the first-party cards.
The RTX 3000 series will continue to be sold by EVGA. After it runs out of stock, the company doesn't plan to work with either Intel orAMD. Power supplies and gaming mice have been sold by EVGA for a while now. This decision could put the company's existence in jeopardy because 80 percent of the company's revenue comes from gaming. The CEO was quoted as saying that it was easy to make this decision and that it was difficult to work with the company.
The following statement has been posted in the forums.
EVGA will not carry the next generation graphics cards. EVGA will continue to support the existing current generation products. EVGA will continue to provide the current generation products. EVGA is committed to our customers and will continue to offer sales and support on the current lineup. Also, EVGA would like to say thank you to our great community for the many years of support and enthusiasm for EVGA graphics cards.
Bryan Del Rizzo is the director of global public relations for the company.
We’ve had a great partnership with EVGA over the years and will continue to support them on our current generation of products. We wish Andrew and our friends at EVGA all the best.
