eVGA and XFX Defect from Nvidia

posting in this thread because it was in two minutes before Ogilve's thread....


but all i can say is WOW, if this is true it is HUGE, VERY huge.....
 
We'll he didn't say anything really so anything could happen. If not ATI then who?
 
My guess, if this is true, they went to Intel. Considering they are gearing up to be in the graphics market.

hehe....I asked the mod to delete my thread.


But wow...wouldn't that be something? I couldn't imagine EVGA being anything else but nvidia. They are almost synonymous.
 
Personally, i'd like evga xfx and bfg to carry ATi as well :p

Don't hold too much weight behind this rumor though, as it IS the Inq.
 
makes me wonder if this company's product might have some weight to it...???

Lucid is already working with leading OEMs, ODMs and PC technology providers to create innovative platform solutions that are expected to come to market in the first half of 2009. At the same time, the HYDRA engine requires no modification to existing graphics software applications, and it supports common graphics standards such as DirectX. This ensures Lucid can rapidly bring its technology to the marketplace without a critical mass of design support from application or game developers.

and remember they do have Intel money behind them



maybe this combined with a new upcoming Intel based multi core GPU array......

things do appear to be getting interesting....

it seems somewhat unlikely that the Inq would post such a bold statement without something to back it up....yeah yeah yeah, it's the Inq......but they are not always wrong and actually are right more often than wrong, even if you don't like their angle
 
XFX isn't totally out of the question, I heard they were having serious financial problems.

EVGA?

Mind = Blown.

Of course I'll take this news with a shovel full of salt.
 
I am waiting for an official confirmation before concluding anything.
AFIAK, Larrabee will not be available until Q4 2008/ Q1 2009.
 
Just because they may start distributing ATi parts does not mean they will abandon nVidia parts. As typical of the "Inqistion", they are slamming nVidia again with no links as proof. But as we all know...

"Inquisition minds want to know."
 
Nice... I can't wait to step-up my 8800GTS to a Q9550. :rolleyes::D

 
With recent price drops and razor thin profit margins on GTX 200 series i can see that happening, but i doubt they are cutting their ties with Nvidia. Maybe they are not going to be Nvidia exclusive partners anymore, but i doubt that they are leaving completely, at least at this point in time.
 
I am really curious to see if this is true.

If evga dropped nvidia, it would be VERY surprising to me.
 
wonder if they will still back up there products on the market, I have a xfx I need to rma
 
same thing I posted in the other thread

I could see them agreeing to make Intel cards. really with AMD going under (one good product line is not going to save them) and Nvidia spinning its wheels they could have well decide to burn the candle at both ends in order to keep one of them lit. Keeping all their video card eggs in a single basket might not be the best strategy for any card maker right now.

and its not like EVGA doesn't have a motherboard business to think of. with intel getting SLI rights (or at least the chips) there is less reason then ever to buy a nvidia chip set. Them may well see themselves in a bad way here if they don't change up. In fact I find it easy to believe that they are jumping ship. right now most of there eggs are in one basket.
 
no, I don't think they defected from nvidia graphic cards, because I believe nvidia is taking the loss for all its partners, do you think that partners are actually giving cash backs? I doubt it, nvidia is giving cash back to partners and that is passed on to the consumers. I think it probably most likly is motherboards, remember X58 is suppose to support sli, and it is official, and I don't see any thing surprising if evga is going to be making intel boards. They have a reason to make those baords as they will support sli. I don't think they are going to abandon nvidia for Ati, even inquirer said it is not Ati, so I think it will sure be X58 intel based boards that will support sli.
 
did you guys ever think that this could be for motherboards? possibly going to make intel chipset boards =p ?
 
Well EVGA has removed their SLI forum on the message boards as someone said in the thread about this on EVGA's general forum. I checked it against google's cache and it is indeed gone :eek:
 
The Inq was more right this generation than before, believe it or not

Anyways, it could very well by Intel chipsets (thank god, finally) and/or Larrabee. After all, Intel has a lot more muscle than Nvidia by far, and they might want to land a few AIBs for Larrabee too so I'm sure if they made them partners for larrabee, they had quite the offer package...
 
Say it was ATI or Intel, whats the chances of stepping up to a 4870x2 or Larabee ? :D
 
Well, let us not forget that Intel isn't the ONLY other ones out there. What about Matrox, and VIA ect. I know they aren't into graphics like AMD/ATi and Intel, but I think it may still be possible.
 
Lulz that article is such false. The entire article is erroneous bullshiz.
 
This is just not true, there is very little to no water under this bridge... Also the SLI forum was removed because it was rarely posted in. Anyone who frequents the forums would know this.
 
You didn't check out those awesome MATROX cards on the EVGA website now? 2D is almost like 3D! :p

intel could just buy NVIDIA at that stock price now lol.

Nvidia? They could buy the whole damn hardware sector.


Nvidia's market capital, 6.3B
AMD's market capital, 2.7B
Intel's market capital, 126B.


Yeah, you read that right. Intel is nearly 50 times the size of AMD/ATI. Nvidia is currently valued at 233% the value of AMD. Intel keeps them both around so they are not a monopoly. Neither of them are a "threat".

Why woud they?
The don't need Nvidia.

There is more to nvidia that just buying them for graphics cards, could be patents, intellectual property, etc. that they are really after. Look how long it took nvidia to start using some of the tech they got from voodoo, like SLI.
