    Sniff....

    Forgot the "of GPU" (which we know is low to none) lol... The 2% sales for motherboards and misc was the one I found jaw dropping. I assumed their motherboard business (even with them being habitually late to market) was greater than that. With the data as presented, I can see why they cut ties with Nvidia and focus on a proper downsize while deciding what they want to do next. They can continue as a small, tightly run PSU, MB and misc company while they decide on another GPU venture that yields better control and profitability. I do hope they go with AMD. A K|NGP|N 7900xt or 8900xt would be righteous but I just feel like they will somehow work out their differences enough to after optimizing they will come back around to Nvidia for the 5000 series. It definitely is a combination of objective and subjective reasons but this has clearly been brewing for some time as Jensen and Nvidia have become a tiresome problem to work with but it isn't as if AMD doesn't make their own cards too so there is a bit of competition with AIBs there.

    According to GN video (as reported by EVGA and personal extrapolation): ~78% of sales are GPU (but low to no profitability) ~20% of sales are PSU (300% profitability) ~2% are motherboards and misc (this is surprising) 20% layoff makes sense as they informed Nvidia in April 2022 their intentions to sever their partnership. Nvidia had almost 5 months to make right and didn't. Wondering where Vince will go? Facts as told to Steve: Primary reason for terminating partnership = can't compete with Nvidia and FE editions and pricing down along with Nvidia not listening finalized with EVGA losing hundreds per card sale from the 3080 12gb and up even with the older less severe price cuts:

    I've been using EVGA GPUs since 2005/6 almost exclusively and KPEs since the 980 (skipped the 2080ti). This is going to be weird not seeing their cards from this point on. I was already talking about skipping the 4000 series and waiting for the 5000 series KPE. I expect EVGA to either offer AMD cards and/or come back on board down the line with the 5000 series. Hopefully many other AIBs will stand up and say enough is enough and demand better treatment. And I agree, I greatly enjoyed (and still enjoy) my KPE 3090 and 3090ti. I just didn't realize it was the last hurrah for their GPU offerings. 😞 Now when I'm playing FO76 or WoW this and next year I'll wistfully look towards my case and sigh knowing this is it.

    It's no secret Nvidia treats their AIBs like crap....

    Welcome to the club. 🙂 What did you end up going with?
  8. electrosoft
    Won't have to worry about that blowing away in the wind with that block....that's for sure.... ....Crocs? Not so much. 🙂 Hopefully much better results this time around.

    Such is the life of a rumor monger.... 😁

    Like I posted earlier, MLID has been wrong numerous times in the past.....

    Looks like 4090 might be here sooner than later (fingers crossed): https://videocardz.com/newz/zotac-geforce-rtx-4090-graphics-card-has-been-leaked

    It does make you wonder why Asrock was the only company releasing any type of Intel dGPU but now they are back ordered with no fill through date posted for awhile now. Looks like the first run might have been the last run but let's sit back and enjoy the ride (or crash and burn 😁) But then again MLID has been wrong plenty of times too.... Let's see how this pans out as they are still releasing the upper tier models too. What it looks like is Intel drivers and products will continue to be introduced but they are effectively exiting the enthusiast / mid-range market but will continue with Integrated/Entry and DC/AI and up.

    Looking good! Since you've used the AC LF II 420 extensively, I'm interested in the differences in a decent P/P dual Rad CL comparison against all your previous test data (aka the good stuff 🙂 ).

    I've been testing it and it is on par with my old 6gb 1060. It is firmly between a 1650 and 1650 Super. It is a good ENTRY level card for $140 which is exactly where it is targeted. Chop off another $20 and it becomes even moreso. It's not a magic card nor supposed to come in with crazy performance at its price point. What it does have is some seriously buggy drivers that need refinement (but continue to get them). And as @receiver said, price will dictate adoption. It is firmly priced in the entry level segment. Adjust your expectations accordingly. Clearly someone is buying them as Newegg has sold out of them 3x already and they're in back order status again.

    Labor Day weekend sale from EVGA via Newegg 3090ti FTW 1099 ($900 off): https://www.newegg.com/evga-geforce-rtx-3090-ti-24g-p5-4981-kr/p/N82E16814487562

    Hey! At least the pants match the Crocs (which give me a chuckle everytime 🙂 ). Looking forward to the custom water adventures @Papusan!

    One of my pet peeves is numerous different subjects being addressed in the same post. I prefer individual posts responding to each person's message unless they're related to your response / flow. As for GPUs, I would definitely stick with 3000 series now with prices coming down as they are. What is your budget? That will really dial in what you can get.

    The blessing in this is the replacement is better than the original. Better P and E cores but still doesn't take the sting of dropping another $600-700 on a CPU. 😞

    Now we're talkin..... 🙂

    Asrock A380 w/ newest beta drivers puts it right in between a 1650 and 1650 Super at this point. Testing it on the "new realistic" system I'm setting up for my son in law once financial realities kicked in and he adjusted his expectations commiserate with his cash flow status. 😁

    Corporations are not your friend. Being honest will only get you shanked in the end as you just experienced. For a company that actively promotes and embraces overclocking to sell their products or get mind share and postings this really is a slap in the face. I can see XOC and obviously delidding but I tend to agree their chips aren't as robust as they used to be and the returns may have been hitting the bottom line a little harder than normal.

    So single core (and overall architecture) goes to Intel again this round but the heat and power to get there is another hybrid mess so 16 / 32 AMD matches Intel's hybrid chip.... If Intel could get their node in order and offer a real, true 16 / 32 chip it would be no contest across all spectrum but it is what it is I guess. Considering what a monster of a gaming chip the 5800X3D is, I have great expectations for the 7000 variants.

    WTH? The specs for Intel 12th gen CPUs is 4800 for DDR5 and 3200 for DDR4 on their ark site all the way up to 12900k. Is there some other specs listed elsewhere that allow higher or is that it? That is absolute BS. Who in their right mind is going to run it at that speed? I even have the wife's 12100f running at 3600. "Hey! We're Intel and we promote overclocking everywhere and even host competitions! But if you overclock anywhere on our products personally and it happens to fail you void your warranty" ?!

    That's usually how I handle all of RMAs with all companies. Luckily EVGA is fairly quick and a few weeks at most in extreme cases but that is a nice perk from purchasing direct from them or an authorized seller. It just kind of took me by surprise to spend a few days researching and contacting so many companies to see that all of them except three do not allow 2nd hand warranties. Most now have language in their warranties too to not only still address user damage on a hardware level but mining now too. I'm sure many will quickly check for memory degradation too and/or known signs of mining.

    Happy belated Birthday @Papusan! It's wonderful when kids turn into adults of their own. They're still your kids but they also become your friend on a level too. Looks like Intel will retain the single core crown for the P-Cores but their hybrid 13900k needs to hit what looks like 15k+ to hang with the top end 7950x if the 7700x is hitting 7701.
