I am mainly here too. Nvidia shit the bed when they lost evga's business. Out of all the brands I think I did preffer EVGA. I have alot of their products. I am proud of them though for sticking to their ethics.

Sad day I explicitly only bought evga cards

EVGA's amazing. NVidia, on the other hand, yeah no. Screw them.
The moment a company does screwy stuff like THAT to its manufacturers/etc is when I jump ship.

whats the reason for it, the article i read the other day made it seem like EVGA didnt wanna play ball with nvidia so they took the ball and went home

Seems to be Nvidia fe cards were priced so low that aibs didn't really make profit on their copy and paste versions

Looks like EVGA is tired of nVidia's shit, too. Most of my GPUs over the years (going back to the 8800 GTS that slayed Bioshock, TF2, and WoW for me) were EVGA.

I do not plan to purchase an nVidia card again. I held off on upgrading to the 3000 series due to the scalping and mining frenzies. Since it has become clear just how much they willfully fueled both for their own profits, then misled their investors by blaming their recent sales struggles in the face of the scalping and mining demise as the result of a gaming hardware sales slump (lol), and in consideration that they're just fucking their partners for their own profits... well, that's too many straws for my back. I also do not appreciate how they made significant energy efficiency/conservation efforts on the 2000 series and then decided "fuck it" and unleashed the power-hungry 3000 series and the incredibly power-hungry 4000 series.

Team Red, put on some pants. Someone is at the door.

Everyone acting like they're about to downgrade their GPU and forfeit premium Ray Tracing and DLSS is just too funny. EVGA really did a disservice to their customer base by forfeiting they're deal with Nvidia, what are they going to do, team up with AMD who also scalp their customers? (Reference AMD 7000 processors) "The days of Chip costs going down are over." I'm not saying Nvidia isn't bad for what they're doing, but there's a reason every other card manufacturer is still playing ball with Nvidia. They are the global standard and have the best technology and innovation in the industry.

I’ll never Buy nvidia again b/c they aren’t going to be enabling rtx 3000 and 2000 series with dlss 3.0. Also because they are trying to drive the chip prices up with their joke 4000 series launch. Also because they aren’t trying to be a consumer pc component focused company anymore. They are running down the road of apple.
