Wild news this week—EVGA's done making Nvidia cards.

EVGA stops making video cards and blames Nvidia’s bad behavior

EVGA is reportedly making the decision to no longer work with Nvidia because it feels the company was a bad partner, according to both Gamers Nexus and 

. The company claims that Nvidia wouldn’t tell EVGA how much it would have to pay to obtain GPU cores before publicly announcing the price of cards like the RTX 3080, which made it difficult for EVGA to figure out how much it would have to charge for its own products, built around Nvidia’s tech. According to JayzTwoCents, Nvidia sent the drivers required to take full advantage of its GPUs to journalists before it sent them to EVGA and would keep the manufacturer in the dark about how many GPUs it would get to integrate into its own designs and products.

Nvidia's straight-up bullying the industry here. Their Founders Edition cards retail cheaper than EVGA's. I don't see how EVGA could've stayed profitable with that setup. That said, dropping your biggest partner puts EVGA in a rough spot.
