EVGA's motherboard team leaves

[=SOC= Admiral]

Because its on the internet and everyone thinks its the truth. No one ever checks on this stuff. But isn't semi accurate part of Charlies circle of bias.

I just read that a new stargate has been discovered in Guatemala...

It that a picture of where the EVGA head office in EU was?

[570091D]

and i thought Shamino WAS the design team for EVGA...

[Biker]

and i thought Shamino WAS the design team for EVGA...

No no no ... Shamino is the guy who gets paid to pour LN2 on the engineers until they include the board features we all want

eng: "oh no! not my right hand! anything but my right hand!"

shamino: "so a two socket overclocking board IS possible?"

even though this is not their team leaving i would love to see the evga MB team leave and make their own company or NV not having control over them, getting long xfire cables or if they were allowed to make an am3 790/890 board would be great especially if it got some voltera action,

[resident1509]

what makes you think nv has decision power over evga boards? is it not in the interest to promote the use of video cards that evga sells? i think they'd do an amd board if amd actually took the crown back.

[Sn0wm@n]

I don't even want to think on what prompted that comment..

his man vag maybe???

i guess but isnt that still NV having control over them as evga is an NV only OEM.

i still want a voltera am3 board and since dfi is apparently not making new atx boards it kiinda kills that off unless evga dose it but ATM if evga did it then there could not be a good board out as it would have sli so no amd chipset unless they work out some licensing with NV.

This press release makes sense now - EVGA wants to stop any rumors saying that they're withdrawing from the European market.

hmmmm
i think either way this is a win for evga and europe imo...
evga in europe SUCKED big time...
its better to have no evga in europe for a while than continuing with a sucky evga that rather hurts the brand image locally and can even affect their global brand.

and about the hw engineer leaving and possibly bios and product manager as well... i dont think itll be a big hit for evga... the SR2 will keep them on the top for quite a while, they probably have their 1155 stuff already finished, so they are basically set for the next 6 months, and within that time all they need is to start working on refreshes of existing boards, and start new boards only at the end of 2011...

i think the major thing you need when engineering a board is getting the specs right, and the specs and features are set by shamino... as long as the new engineers follow his lead and are able to do what he requests and specs, which i dont think should be a big problem, then i doubt most people would even have noticed the engineering team changed if these news wouldnt have come out...

[TurboDiv]

I've always been happy with EVGA i truly hope this stuff is air...

[TheLostSwede]

It's been confirmed, the EVGA team went to Sapphire as they got a better offer

[xVeinx]

That could shake things up a bit...

Funny that they build boards for AMD. What would cause them to go through so much trouble for early next year?

[cky2k6]

Not bad, considering sapphire will make nice amd boards, which is perfect in case bulldozer turns out as good as it's hype with dfi leaving the atx market.

[Micutzu]

Sapphire is working on some Intel mainboards since a few months ago, you should see them in autumn .

[BulldogPO]

Any confirmation for this?

few year ago EVGA wanted to do some AMD chipsets based boards. and you will not guess who has stoped them.

[FatAlbert]

couple years ago EVGA had amd boards, referent boards...

click

this evga = nvidia = foxcoon

yes i know but AMD sad that they have enough number of partners. so it was an end of EVGA AMD boards story.

That's really good news if it's true.

Well, they didn't exactly suck, service is the best in Europe, but they're more expensive than all other brands and not quite up to what the US level of service. Step-up is a joke for example in Europe, in almost every case it's better to sell your current card on Ebay and buy a new card. ANd they don't have enough models available for step-up. I wanted to step-up my GTX 260 55nm which I bought shortly before the GTX 275 was released. I called them about it and they said the GTX 275 would be available for step-up, and yet it never was...

But they're pretty much the only manufacturer in Europe that allows direct RMA for all products, I RMA'ed a GB card twice and had to 4-6 weeks both times

EVGA should pick-up some of the DFI guys now, I'm sure they like designing OC boards better than designing industrial PCs

[crash5s]

So.... quad socket 12 core OC boards?

[Kej]

Over at TechEYE.net they write that Sapphire is taking over EVGA

Love the rumors

[H2O]

Oh God please do not let it be true. I'm not crazy with the idea that Asus and Gigabyte will be the only two high-end manufactures left.
