News flash everyone. In order to compete with MSI’s Afterburner, EVGA decided to re-design its Precision X program and release it on Steam. Normally, this wouldn’t be worth mentioning, however the coder of the RivaTuner Statistics Server claimed that EVGA has stolen his code.
In a shocking move, EVGA announced that they are quitting the GPU business with NVIDIA after 22 years & not offer any new graphics card.
Nvidia are getting quite greedy, will probably come back to bite them. It kind of has a little already in that they have such a huge amount of Ampere 3000 series to sell and not that many are buying, and now supposedly there is 4000 series already sitting in a warehouse somewhere waiting to be released. That could be true with all the leaked photos that have come out.
Nvidia sold cards directly to miners during the mining boom, and Jensen talks of wanting higher margins. They're already trying to screw over 4000 series buyers by supposedly using a lower tier chip for the 4080 this time, and no doubt the 4090 will be very expensive.
There's no issue in the 4090 being expensive if the performance uplift is justified, it was only around 10-15% for the 3080 -> 3090 because they used the same tier chip, this time supposedly not the case. Which again is fine if true, as long as the 4080 still gets a large jump in performance as well as the other cards.
I watched JayzTwoCents video on this and it's pretty damning. Nvidia are a terrible partner to work with.
It feels like AMD might soon gain on Nvidia.
I mean EVGA has been there since the start with nvidia. To break such a partnership means they are looking at it fropm a purely business standpoint. They dont care about the copnsumers at this point.
Joseph at Skewed and Reviewed has posted his review for the latest mouse from EVGA and likes what he saw.
This week for his segment on BJ Shea’s Geek Nation on KISW FM; The Rev and Gareth at Skewed and Reviewed look at the news for The PSVR 2, E3 going digital as well as other convention news. They also talk about the great new keyboard from EVGA.
All my video cards are from eVga great customer service and their cards OC the best in my personal experience. Currently running 3 GTX 780's Classified, and they are monsters under water when over clocked.
