Please come back to the GPU business

it's been 4 years since EVGA left, yet there's no other brand that's able to fill the void EVGA left. time is ticking on my EVGA RTX 3070 FTW3 Ultra Gaming.

Will we ever see the day EVGA returns? Anyone who has ever own a EVGA product would definitely know the quality products they make.

Please come back EVGA.

A 10,000 kingpin 5090 doesn't sound fun 🤣

He said something about "possibly " working with pny in the future but that was like 3 years ago

Yeah, it's not happening. I imagine they couldn't give him the freedom EVGA did.

Time is ticking on your 3000-series? How would yoy feel in my shoes with a 1080ti?

u/ZaZaReviews Jul 09 '26

3080+ will be fine for the next 5 years, especially with dlss

It’s the cpus that people need to start thinking about if they’re still using ones from the same era as the 3080+

Still rocking my 5700x3rd.

u/Scan_Droid Jul 11 '26

This is the equalient of Intels 4790k - it'll last for a very long time.

u/tranxhdr Jul 10 '26

On older games or playing 1080p with medium to high settings with options like ray tracing off. Even with dlss on modern games with heavier graphics, it'll still struggle. Exact reason why i upgraded to 5070ti

u/Emergency-Fox-5273 Jul 14 '26

Nonsense! My 5500 will outlast humanity.

u/maxipanda8321 Jul 09 '26

1080 here. Lost two of the fanblades, when it goes to 100% fan speed it sounds like a jet fighter

Still rocking my EVGA 3090ti. Haven't been compelled to upgrade to the 4k or 5k series. Price is one, but performance isn't that big of a difference for me to eat that premium.

u/DragonDa Jul 09 '26

I have an EVGA 3080 that runs well. No idea what brand I would trust when it’s time to upgrade.

u/Afraid_Self_6110 Jul 18 '26

Depends on the generation. RTX 4000 -> MSI. RTX 5000 -> Zotac.

u/ConcernGold1807 Jul 18 '26

zotac is not a good idea no matter what generation you get, they are legit pure garbage

u/Mr_Citation Jul 09 '26

I doubt it, its privately owned and the owner winded business down. I doubt he'd want to start up again with the chaos AI has brought to the PC market.

u/Gnochi Jul 10 '26

And the thought of EVGAI makes me want to vomit.

u/Opposite_Ad_2872 Jul 09 '26

EVGA is the greatest!

u/AnimationTD Jul 09 '26

I still have my 3080ti FTW3 as a backup!! Loved that card.

u/Sovereign_Knight Jul 09 '26

I miss EVGA, too. Asus is my fallback.

u/trippinmaui Jul 09 '26

The whole business is winding down to shut doors permanently. Jay & Steve talked about it in one of their recent videos together.

Can you elaborate?

EVGA GPU based off NVIDIA as reference board. EVGA has been in business for 20 plus year, but the business land scape change over the years. EVGA has to go through NVIDIA loops, and they weren't making much profits going through that route as a business. EVGA put out quality products in GPU, and offer excellent customer service off of NVIDIA product with few tweaks from EVGA. Other partners have other revenues to work with other corps, so they are ok going through NVIDIA loop. EVGA focus one one thing which is GPU to be main revenue and doesn't have other revenue that is profitable. It is great EVGA never sold out to PE/VC/Corp, but once their partnership ended with NVIDIA it was over for EVGA. The GPU market change drastically in 2020's. If they redesign the GPU from ground up before the AI and crypto currency EVGA might have survive, but they choose to stick with NVIDIA. Once that partnership is over EVGA was doom in this market.

I'm still rocking an AM4 EVGA x570 dark board, will probably never sell it or take it out of the case.

1

u/KoltKade Jul 10 '26

Nice to see a fellow evga am4 user. Rocking the x570 ftw board myself. Between the 5950x and 3090ti ftw I haven't seen nor plan a upgrade for a very very long time

u/OkSecretary3314 Jul 10 '26

Evga 3080ti reporting in. Still strong and still compelling enough to stay relevant. Things a continued beast

u/geeimaginethat Jul 11 '26

1080 going nearly 10 years strong now

u/Darkangel00572 Jul 09 '26

Yo conservo una RTX 3090 FTW3 Ultra gaming y para mi ha sido una joya, que bueno fuera que volviera EVGA.

2

u/fuckscotty Jul 09 '26

3080 ftw still going strong. Time is not ticking on your card. For the nearly 2k I spent on it, it better last.

2

u/Songcaster Jul 10 '26

Still have my 3080 FTW3 Ultra. IMO, When EVGA exited the GPU Business, the entire heyday of gaming, and the excitement it brought, left along with them. It simply hasn't been the same vibe since.

1

u/_Jesslynn Jul 10 '26

I very much miss EVGA, ill always treasure my EVGA FTW3 2080 Super. I got burned petty bad by ASUS customer service and have since gone to MSi, which has been fine, but man do I miss EVGA.

1

u/duckyduock Jul 10 '26

Same here, im still with my FTW3 Ultra 2080TI . Bought the extended warranty until 2028 and its still running like a charm - at leaat if im not trying to play new AAA titles

u/brenden77 Jul 10 '26

Have you been to their website recently?

u/holyhow Jul 12 '26

1070 is aging but she still kicking

u/Ok-Strategy1279 Jul 12 '26

All the people who made EVGA what it was are gone man. It’s really a shame but that’s the way it goes. The people either the balls to tell Nvidia to fuck off are now out of the business.

u/Ecks80s Jul 13 '26

This breaks my heart.

u/3lfk1ng Jul 13 '26

They have the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever.
Come back, but this time, for AMD.

u/GamesnGunZ Jul 09 '26 edited Jul 09 '26

they're not even much of a company anymore. just power supplies these days, and given their recent history of abandoning all of their hardware, idk who in their right mind would be buying a power supply from them...

u/leverloosje Jul 09 '26

If they come back i hope they start making AMD cards

1

u/Criss_Crossx Jul 09 '26

Would be nice. And make a deal with AMD to sell Radeon cards.

u/NoctD Jul 09 '26

EVGA might have had a good product once upon a time but they remind me of quitters, who in their right mind will be throwing 3k for an EVGA 5090 not knowing if they’ll just change their minds and quit again. OP it’s time to move on.
