EVGA Cuts Ties with NVIDIA and Ceases GPU Production
nidlaX:
Did TiN survive the layoffs? :-\
nctnico:
Sounds more like they can't cope with the competition. After all, making a video card is just putting some chips on a board and be done with it. There is no unique selling point to be made because the GPU manufacturer's closed source driver dictates the functionality.
tooki:
The “competition” being Nvidia itself, which took its biggest partner and 8nstead started undercutting it…

Really I'm more worried about TiN. As a member here, and a highly qualified professional for him it will be easy to get another job somewhere in another company but still it's a letdown.
I'm sure he knows a lot of what's happening since he was one in the team designing the EVGA GPU boards where the GPU chip would be mated with.
I don't expect him to come and say something over here. But I would not deny that I'm a little curious of what it really happened, other than the press released and news coverage currently ongoing. There is for sure a lot more juicy details not fit to be known publicly.
I just hope the best for him in whatever the future holds.
