TLDR from Reddit
-
"EVGA's ~5% margin is amongst the lowest in the business, others are can achieve up to around 10% but sell en mass - which EVGA does not outside NA
-
Igor belives EVGA owner wants out after 2 very profitable years (20/21) as alluded by GN's own reporting about owner wanting to spent more time with family
-
Other AIC believes EVGA warranty policy, and its own reliability issues makes its business model completely unsustainable, as components became more and more complex
-
Igor had been blacklisted by EVGA before when writing for Tom's hardware because he refused to guarantee postive reviews, quote:
I remember how EVGA at the time (this was back in the Kepler days) made the sampling of graphics cards dependent on a positive review of the newly introduced power supplies. Back then, I was still writing for Tom’s Hardware and very stubbornly resisted the “reward for award” system.
-
Igor also got yelled at by EVGA PR for exposing its early GTX 10 iCX designs (which caused a big recall) for its inadequacy in board deaign
-
Nvidia is so secretive that even its competitors are unhappy because they could not find out what exactly RTX 40 is going to be let alone its pricing (not to mention the AICs)
-
EVGA (and presumably GALAX) butted heads with Nvidia because it wanted to do extreme GPUs, but Nvidia on reliability grounds makes it difficult to work with"
