Nvidia responds to EVGA's departure from the GPU market

[WYP]

Nvidia's response is a diplomatic as you can expect.

as a nvidia user i can´t wait until this greedy sh*t company falls flat on it´s nose.


it´s like in the late 2000s until 2017 as i was only using intel.
i knew the company was a greedy consumer enemy, with their performance baby steps etc.


but it was still the best solution for ME and my kind of work.


if only we had 4 or 5 manufactures of GPU´s and CPU´s..... (you know what i mean, beside ARM manufacturer and some small special companys).

EVGA supposedly get 90% of their income through nvidia GPU sales. So for EVGA it's practically suicide to break up.


But like any bad relationship, if it's toxic and controlling, you have to get away from them no matter the cost.


Nvidia certainly have fallen a long way in the past couple of years. But there's a long way to go yet.

i read it´s 80% of their revenue. (edit: just noticed that is the number given in this article too).

GPU are what created the most revenue but PSU are more profitable for them.


i really hope they talk with AMD.



anyway... they sure have to downsize.

I think from what I gather, EVGA's profits mostly came from power supplies. The reason they're ditching Nvidia is because they weren't making any money from them. EVGA ditching GPUs is mainly going to mean we can no longer buy arguably the best Nvidia graphics cards out there and their staff are going to have nothing to do. Their earnings shouldn't change dramatically if what the CEO was saying was true.

If this is true, I see no reason they would continue with GPU products

It's likely AMD would treat EVGA the same. There just doesn't seem to be a business for a company making overbuilt products when you have to work with companies like Nvidia and AMD.

80% of their profits were GPU sales. About 4% from mobos the rest from PSU sales.

However their profit margin on PSUs is 300%, whereas it was far lower on GPUs.

Apparently they wanted to charge much more for GPUs but Nvidia would not let them.

All that said I don't know how much they would like to charge for GPUs but what I do know is you can pretty much charge what you like for something, doesn't mean people will pay it.

They have very stiff competition too.

Also when a company says "we will never" what they actually mean is "for the right price we totally will" so they may just be sounding off to get a better deal from AMD or Intel.

Because the elephant in the room here of course is that nobody would be daft enough to commit financial suicide. Which on the surface if you take their statements at face value is exactly what they are doing. Apparently they are keeping all of their staff on paid to sit around doing nothing. Yeah man, my ass.

 

[Meaker]

80% from GPUs were their gross sales for GPUs and 20% from power supplies. However each unit of power supplies had 3 times the margin of the GPUs so that 20% is the majority of their profit.

Be suspicious.

Having watched his video it reminded me of just how sucky EVGA are. Even though they have an incredibly loyal following they would never sponsor modders. Or give their endorsement to people modding using their stuff. Their customer service was certainly not worth raving about and they have kept their prices premium throughout that time.

Funny how they support Youtubers with clout though.

I reckon they are just cashing out tbh. And needed to be front and centre in the news to make sure they sell off as much 30 stock as they can. I reckon once that is done they will either partner with someone else, or sail into the sunset.

But yeah. Have a watch of that video, specifically the "customer support and queries" part where they basically ignore all of their customers and just carry on any way.

They've always been a bit ignorant is what I am saying. Same sort of attitude as Nvidia.

I guess Kingpin needs a new job

I cannot stand that guy, and just tried to watch the video but straight away it's "Poor old nVidia", then he does the usual BS of looking at comments on Facebook etc for EVGA which for most if not all companies is always filled with "Negative" comments.

I don't doubt there is more at play that both sides are not telling, but I think we will see EVGA go back to GPU's in a year or two but by then there rep will be no where near what it is now.


To me the whole thing is suspicious from both sides but personally I think nVidia are slowly killing off AIB card's because they can sell them themselves and keep all the profit, plus they can do what they have been doing easier, in keeping the supply constrained to raise the prices to where they want them to be and then profit.

I don't believe there was a shortage, and I am betting we see a "Shortage" with the 4000 series card's to allow the prices to ramp up for months then suddenly there will be thousands available.

 

[Warchild]

He knows the backlash he will get on this pricing, yet will not care as people will still pay the hefty price tag to have the gpu.

I think I am going to take advantage of the price drop on a cheap 3080ti and stick with that one.

I'm perplexed as to why EVGA are pulling out of GPUs completely. Moving to Radeon would give that brand a huge uplift in the eyes of consumers, and EVGA can get some additional performance tweaks when paired with their own AMD motherboards.

Unless Sapphire have threatened to pull out if EVGA join Radeon, or AMD's handling of partners is just as bad as Nvidia, this feels like Andrew Han has gone "fudge the lot of you, imma just going to see my family".

And if that's what you're doing, Mr. Han, why not just hand over the reins to somebody else, rather than cutting off your nose to spite your face?

Might even be some simple non compete clause in place. If thats the case, you may actually see EVGA move to AMD, but it would need to be after the grace period is over. (should there be such a clause)
