EVGA may gradually withdraw from the motherboard market

Recently, a user on the Coolenjoy forum shared startling news that more than 170 employees associated with EVGA’s motherboard business in its Taiwan office have resigned. This group notably includes the renowned overclocking expert Vince Lucido, better known as Kingpin. It is conjectured that EVGA, after exiting the graphics card market, is progressively shutting down its motherboard operations, culminating in a complete departure from this industry.

On the cusp of Nvidia’s unveiling of a new generation of GPUs based on the Ada Lovelace architecture last year, EVGA announced that it would not launch GeForce RTX 40 series graphics cards. It was revealed that future production of graphics cards would cease entirely, although the current GeForce RTX 30 series graphics cards would continue to be distributed until the inventory was depleted, and necessary support would be provided. As one of the largest board card companies in the United States and a core partner of Nvidia, EVGA enjoys immense recognition in the North American market. This news immediately stirred up a storm amongst enthusiasts.

With 75% of EVGA’s revenue coming from Nvidia GPUs, EVGA has consistently brought the most advanced designs to each generation of Nvidia’s GeForce graphics cards. Furthermore, its exemplary after-sales service has earned it the affectionate moniker among gamers – “Nvidia’s favoured son”. While EVGA continues to maintain its motherboard and power supply businesses, the overall scale has noticeably shrunk, suggesting more challenging survival conditions ahead.

At Computex 2023, members of EVGA’s overclocking team revealed during media interviews that they had not participated in any new projects, including the next-generation Intel and AMD platforms. This indicates that EVGA may not have future motherboard plans, and enthusiasts may witness the conclusion of its PC hardware business.

To date, no additional sources have confirmed the veracity of this news, and EVGA has yet to respond to these reports.
