The popular manufacturer of graphics cards EVGA separates from Nvidia. EVGA CEO Andrew Han was dissatisfied with the collaboration.
Which companies are you talking about? On the one hand we have the graphics card giant Nvidia. The company is known for its RTX series graphics cards and has over 22,000 employees worldwide (via Forbes).
On the other hand, there is the comparatively small graphics card manufacturer EVGA, which has 201 to 500 employees (via LinkedIn) and has been producing Nvidia graphics cards for over 17 years (via phoronix.com).
EVGA even describes itself as “the #1 Authorized NVIDIA Partner in North America” on the company’s LinkedIn profile. That should change now, because EVGA ended the cooperation with Nvidia. You obviously didn’t feel like you were working together as equals.
Scalper allegedly makes a loss of 21,000 euros with graphics cards – what is really behind it?
what happened As the YouTubers GamersNexus and Jayztwocents report, EVGA separates from Nvidia. As the online magazine Kotaku.com reports, EVGA CEO Andrew Han is not satisfied with the cooperation.
A problem is said to have been that Nvidia only shares important information with the company’s partners when it is made available to the public at a press conference.
Also, according to Kotaku, he felt that Nvidia was undermining partners like EVGA by selling their own “Founders Editions” at a lower price.
At this point we embed the video from GamersNexus, which offers a detailed breakdown of the topic:

What kind of partnership was that? EVGA makes Nvidia graphics cards that differ from Nvidia’s in-house variant, the so-called Founders Edition.
While EVGA will continue to distribute the 30-series cards it manufactures, EVGA will not be producing cards for the upcoming generation of GPUs, the 40-series (via EVGA.com).
Will EVGA partner with AMD or Intel? Since EVGA no longer produces Nvidia graphics cards, the question now is whether they will enter into a partnership with Nvidia’s competition in the future and sell AMD graphics cards, for example.
The online magazine Kotaku writes on this question that the company will not enter into a partnership with AMD or Intel and that it looks like EVGA will leave the graphics card market.
However, EVGA continues to make other PC components such as motherboards, cases and power supplies.
This is what you should definitely know about the next generation of graphics cards before you buy a new one now
