News broken by GN. Even though there is no press release I can see right now, this is not a rumor. Info comes directly from EVGA CEO, citing difficulty working with Nvidia.
Terminology can morph in certain parts of the society, in this case the graphics card industry.Just a reminder here for eveyone, AIB stands for add in board, which is completely different from partner company. I can't stand how many people don't know this.
When talking to people in or related to the graphics card industry, "AIB", refers to AMD/ATI's board partners (the companies, not the physical product). NVIDIA board partners are called "AIC".
So you will talk about "the AIBs are coming out with their own cards on day x", which specifically refers to their custom designs. I've also seen (rarer) use from less-technical more marketing people: "bundled by our AIB partners" (adding the word partners).
If EVGA thought AMD would treat them any better....
They probably wouldn't exit the market completely?
Bummer ... EVGA was my "go-to" for Nvidia... in fact my current 3080 Founders Edition is the first none-EVGA primary GPU I've had in 14 years! (since my original 8800-GTX)
I doubt they'll be around for long after this move...have to wonder what effect the "lifetime" warranty on older cards had on the company financially.

Imagine not getting the scoop on a juicy piece of news like this. What do you do? You redirect to the Intel story.
OFC, but why attempt to divert from the EVGA/NVIDIA story into Intel Arc? As he mentions later, his channel has enough coverage on Nvidia's toxic relationship with their partners. He can build on that quickly and release new meaningful content. But the initial reaction? Divert towards Intel, as if it has anything in common with this story.Just because he has Intel sources doesn't mean he has EVGA sources.
That is pretty dumb sounding.Terminology can morph in certain parts of the society, in this case the graphics card industry.
Here's a quote from Wizzard @ Techpowerup

Nvidia doesn't respect anything, let alone partnerships. They certainly don't respect you and me--miners, yes, but now individuals/gamers.Nvidia don't respect 20 years of partnership. Just imagine the mess if Nvidia had bought ARM.
Underrated comment.I think they got out at the perfect time. The gpu business will be under pressure for the short to medium term with the mining gpu overhang, inventory overhang and threats of recessions in large parts of the Western world. Sure they would have some R&D invested in the 4000 series, but sounds like the CEO likes his sleep more than gpu marketshare during this turbulent time.
Let them laugh at you for saying it. My observance of the shenanigans people pull over the decades has made me skeptical and cynical. Therefore, It is not hard to envision that Jay, a self professed EVGA shill, with his hand in their pockets, walked into that meeting knowing what the others didn't. He could have very well have been trying to help them get those cards sold at less of a loss before things got uglier, as you speculate.Maybe this is why JayzTwoCents made his "BUY NOW" video?
That is pretty dumb sounding.
