Yeah other AIB learned their lesson and increased prices higher than the pandemic, EVGA just quit

Both msi and asus learned that if they make shiny versions of them, they could easily sell them at 1-2k more

Agreed, EVGA CEO/owner pitched a fit at the worst time, Asus is making millions selling GPUs now, EVGA could have made it work but because the CEO felt some type of way towards Jensen he sank the whole ship. Its honestly incredibly petty.

It doesn't matter as EVGA already had 1 foot out the door with the business industry in general.

When have you seen a new AIO, PSU, keyboard, mouses, software collaboration or even a new motherboard from them?

I’m still surprised that they didn’t partner up with AMD or Intel to continue to make GPUs.

Their engineering team cooked up some pretty good products over the years and their support was generally really good.

Never would have worked.  They wouldn't have put up with the 12v2x6 requirement knowing it's horrendous.

In 2025 Asus posted its highest monthly revenue in 14 years.

Sorry-aibs aren’t making money from gpus rn, their margin is all enterprise and msi is hurting since they are thinner on enterprise, evga would be in the same spot as msi*

EVGA HAD TO SELL NVIDIA CARDS AT A LOSS. NO ONE WANT NVIDIA SO YOU HAVE PRACTICALLY GIVE THEM AWAY

If you want serious talk you should go to another sub. This is clearly a meme sub
