NIGELG

Mining is stupid and I hope it stays dead.The health of the planet is not in jeopardy because of 0.2% electrical usage from mining. Not a lot of evidence here that mining is the primary causal factor. Their other partners aren't exactly quitting along with EVGA. This seems more like EVGA had enough of dealing with those jerks.
AMD and EVGA could be made for each other sure but does AMD really need them? Not having enough partners isn't really a big problem for them. Somehow I don't see them beating down EVGA's doors. Hope I'm wrong there.
I don't feel sorry for EVGA because their products have always failed on me. I have an EVGA power supply in my current rig and I always wonder if it will fail very soon because I have been burned by an EVGA motherboard and a videocard.
Nvidia will always be a scummy company in my eyes and they don't seem to care about AIB'S but then again it's all business.
I hope AMD's next generation of videocards can be a serious competitor so I can go back to them.
