Been waiting for this one! Every time I look at my computer and see my EVGA FTW 3 3090 sitting in there, it feels like I have a collectors item. I have had a lot of real life issues the last year or so, so the card probably has less than 200 hours power on time and maybe 50 hours of actually being fully loaded in games. I tell myself I probably have one of the best condition EVGA 3090 s that exist in the wild. I also was able to buy 2 tubes of thermal putty from EVGA s website, and even requested replacement thermal pads although I do not need them. So I have replacement OEM pads for both front and back of the card, alongside enough putty for over 2 replacements. If I took the card apart I would probably put higher performing pads on, but its really great knowing I have the exact same OEM parts EVGA uses if I want to keep it working like the day it came off the assembly line 5 years from now. Both the putty and thermal pads are sitting in the box for the 3090, and Im glad I kept the box too. Such a great card! Really sad EVGA decided to bow out of 40 series, but I totally understand why. Anyway thanks for the great content as always!

I'm literally joining team red because of this
EVGA was the only good thing about owning an nvidia gpu and without them i don't want to support team green anymore
I mean how long until the next third party vendor gets out of the nvidia gpu market due to nvidia really wanting to be the Apple of graphics cards in all the worst ways?

What a beautiful tribute and sendoff for EVGA. I feel that they escaped this latest round of NVIDIA BS at just the right time. Excellent journalism and documentary work as always, GN!

I've been EVGA loyal for almost 20 years due to their customer service replacing an out of warranty gpu when I was a broke teen. It's a sad thing to see their departure from gpus.

I buy only MSI and their shit has never failed on me. Best value motherboards, PSU with 10 years warranty, Suprim GPUs... All that and still better and cheaper than competition.

Its safe to speak for everyone in saying that we hope EVGA considers making AMD cards in the future. They definitely could use some help with their reference coolers too.
