May 2021 saw NVDA announce a stock split that would see each share of common stock being divided into 4 whole shares of common stock. Meanwhile, as NVIDIA has slowly ramped up its own efforts to directly sell its Founders Edition (reference) video cards, AIBs like EVGA have been put in a position of directly competing with their partner-turned-supplier.The company’s stock has been climbing steadily and substantially for quite some time now, coming in at more than USD$800 per share as of the end of June 2021. This is done to separate the low-margin business from the high-margin business of designing the actual chips.ĮVGA notes that the AIB margins have been slowly shrinking over the past couple of decades, which reportedly have fallen from 25% in 2000 to 10% in 2015, and finally an estimated 5% this year. EVGA will continue to provide the current-generation products and is committed to our customers and will continue to offer sales and support on the current lineup.”įor those who are unaware, while NVIDIA and AMD design the GPU that sits on the board, the actual card itself that slots into a computer are built by third parties such as EVGA, ASUS, MSI, and Gigabyte. It will continue to support the existing current-generation products. The company spokesperson said in a statement, “ EVGA will not carry the next-generation graphics cards. The development comes at a time when the financial outlook is bleak in the sector post-Ethereum Merge and “mistreatment” from its partner NVIDIA. EVGA, one of the largest manufacturers of graphics card add-in boards, has announced that the company will stop making NVIDIA video cards based on NVIDIA’s next-generation of GPUs and won’t be immediately switching to AMD or Intel.Īs a result, NVIDIA is losing its largest add-in board (AIB) in North America, and the broader North American video card market is losing one of its biggest and best-known vendors in this segment.
