EVGA stated that the Taiwan office is still operating normally

Recently, reports emerged claiming that over 170 staff members, involved in the motherboard operations at EVGA’s Taiwan office, have tendered their resignations. The list of departures allegedly includes the esteemed overclocker, Vince Lucido, better known by his pseudonym, Kingpin. Speculation suggests that following their exit from the graphics card market, EVGA is gradually shuttering their motherboard operations with plans to withdraw completely.

In response to these reports, TechPowerup reached out to EVGA and received the following statement:

“We saw those message and they are rumors. Our Taiwan office is still operating and Kingpin is still with EVGA. EVGA is still doing business and supporting its customers. Thanks for reaching out.”

In fact, even before these rumors, TechPowerup gleaned from employees at EVGA’s Spanish branch that it might be a case of a few staff members leaving or that the entire affair might be unsubstantiated.

The apprehension regarding EVGA is not without merit, as on the eve of NVIDIA’s launch of a new generation of GPUs based on the Ada Lovelace architecture last year, EVGA declared they would not be releasing GeForce RTX 40 series graphics cards and would halt graphics card production altogether in the future. It is important to note that EVGA, one of the largest motherboard and graphics card companies in the United States, is a pivotal partner of NVIDIA, with a large faction of customers affectionately referring to them as NVIDIA’s ‘favored son.’ Approximately 75% of their revenue is generated from NVIDIA GPUs.

Previously, at Computex 2023, members of EVGA’s overclocking team revealed during an interview that they had not been involved in any new projects, including the next-generation Intel and AMD platforms. With no forthcoming motherboard plans, the outlook for EVGA’s motherboard operations appears less than sanguine.
