It was EVGA or nothing for me for years. I still have a "Powered By EVGA" badge stuck to my desk for old times' sake

Vince "Kingpin" Lucido wants to come back and do enthusiast GPUs. Even said he's open to any team, red, green, or blue!

Yes, but I'm seeing an ASUS GTX 1080 Ti in your signature. 🤣

LOL yup. Like I said... for years, didn't say which years. Was running an EVGA 690. Actually I just decomissioned my EVGA power supply that was getting a little long in the tooth.

Last I checked in he was talking with PNY, but that was some months ago.

I loved EVGAs policy of, as long as you return it with all original equipment installed, warranty good. Made me feel a lot better about water cooling. Never did have to send in anything to them though.

My first PCIe card was EVGA, an 8800 GTS. Switched to ASUS for my GTX 580, but everything else has been EVGA excepting my ASRock A380.

8800 GTS
GTX 980 x 2
GTX 750 Ti
GTX 950
GT 1030
GTX 1080
RTX 3080Ti

Two EVGA power supplies. a 550W and a 450W SFX.

Still rocking an EVGA SuperNova 750W G3 in wife's PC. Don't have a live EVGA GPU today as I switched sides years ago.

Really!? EVGA made a 1030? Didn't know that. Also, always cool to see folks' [usually] modest GPU progressions over the years. 750 Ti didn't look amazing on paper but it had a heck of a value proposition on bang-for-buck. Those times are long gone for NV, aren't they. :/
I had a 1080, though it was a Gigabyte. I've been all over with ASUS, MSI, Gigabyte, Sapphire, EVGA -- why not try them all, right!? Haha.

...that sounds awful given reddit sells access to use all the data posted there ;|

 

[SomeoneElse23]

I didn't know EVGA appeared to be having problems! That's unfortunate. Maytag syndrome??

I've never once had a problem with an EVGA PSU.

They made two, one with a little fan and a passive one. I liked the passive one since it lived in my living room.

The lesser cards went into my HTPC/casual gaming box, chasing the smallest card with an appropriate HDMI output. My gaming systems GPU has basically been 80 class since that 8800 GTS, so not so humble.

GT1030 is still a good HTPC choice. Arc A310 isn't bad, but you can also get the A380, which is what I did.

RTX 3050 6GB would be the new one to get, but it is kind of expensive.

EVGA was king. Still is, but sad to see them dwindling. Like others, I was all EVGA. Systems I've built for others were all EVGA as well. Still rocking the 3080 FTW3 in my second desktop. When they announced they were pulling out of the GPU market, I knew it would eventually be the end of their reign and likely the end of the company.

Their products were superior, both for quality, performance and flexibility. Never had to RMA any PSUs or motherboards, though I did have to RMA a 1080ti. I loved their advanced RMA option. Charge your CC for the new item, they ship you the replacement, then refund you when the broken item was received. I wish more companies offered simple advanced RMA (Looking at you, MSI).

Unless EVGA gets back into the GPU market, massively expands their motherboard offerings, or gets into other items like RAM, I really don't see EVGA being king again. Or existing for much longer.

 

[Eximo]

No new product announcements since Feb 2024, and those FTW PSUs look to have sold out completely in October.

All the people who worked making the motherboards and GPUs are gone at this point. (They made two X570 boards, and the last boards were Z790). That isn't coming back.

Hardly any stock left of EVGA AIO. I don't think the other EVGA peripherals made much of a splash.

All that is left on EVGA.com itself are the high priced items for the most part. They also killed off their B-Stock refurb section (which I used to pilfer through regularly)

 

[Jabberwocky79]

Kind of an odd way to go isn't it? Slow death that would seem to be a self-inflicted choice? They couldn't help but know the ramifications of cutting ties with Nvidia, no?

 

[das_stig]

Lost count of the EVGA products I bought, shame they don't jest sell the business too one of the mid tier players who work with both NV and AMD but leave it it to run as is as an independent entity.

 

[Penzi]

Yup yup yup… not dead yet (surely they are) but I wish they were still around. Had a 980, 1080ti, and 3070 from EVGA. I am le sad

 

[Lucky_SLS]

My First GPU was an EVGA GTX 660Ti SC! but that was the only EVGA product I owned.

I've never once had a problem with an EVGA PSU.

The CEO doesn't want to run the company any more, but has stated he has no interest in selling the company, so the only other option is winding down operations. When the company exited the GPU business, they tried to spin it as being Nvidia's fault but the CEO made conflicting statements and some really bizarre ones about what was going on which cast doubt on the public claim. GamersNexus did a video on this when it happened and basically came to the same conclusion. EVGA also exited the motherboard market at the same time, but that didn't garner nearly the same media coverage. Kind of hard to pin that on Nvidia too,

 

[Crazyy8]

I think I still have my EVGA GTX 670 FTW in a box somewhere, good thing lasted me from 2013-2021 till I got a GTX 1080, then a RTX 4060 Ti 16gb.

 

[Alvar "Miles" Udell]

With the GPU market what it is it looks like I'm going to see how long my EVGA 2070S will last...having already been rendered quite obsolete.
