EVGA No Longer Making Graphics Cards For Nvidia

 Popular graphics card manufacturer EVGA has ended its relationship with Nvidia and will no longer manufacture graphics cards in the future.

According to Gamers Nexus, EVGA has discontinued all future graphics card operations but will continue to sell leftover stock of its current products and service consumers who have already purchased them.

EVGA cited 'disrespectful behavior' as the basis for the breakup, claiming that it became agitated because Nvidia would reportedly divulge crucial information to the public at the same time as EVGA.

The company also claimed that Nvidia was undercutting it by selling its own Founders Edition graphics cards for less than EVGA goods.

It expects to run out of RTX 30-series graphics cards by the end of 2022, but is keeping some supply on hand to fulfill current customers' warranties if necessary. EVGA will continue to operate and sell its other goods, but will not expand into new markets or pursue new graphics card collaborations with Intel or AMD.

"EVGA is committed to our customers and will continue to offer sales and support on the current line-up," it said in a statement. "EVGA would like to say thank you to our great community for the many years of support and enthusiasm for EVGA graphics cards."

EVGA terminates relationship with NVIDIA, ceases all video card manufacturing on grounds of disrespectful treatment, among other things. Employees told they will be 'taken care of,' but we don't see how all those jobs will persist ad infinitum: https://t.co/ZvgDYhcGXf

Nvidia GeForce Now Streaming Service Is Now Available, Exits Beta

Nvidia has announced its video game streaming service, GeForce Now, is exiting beta and has a free tier for all users, with some caveats of course.

For those who are unaware, GeForce Now is streaming service that allows users to stream PC games to laptops, Macs, Nvidia Shields, and other Android devices. Over 1,000 games are already on the service, including Fortnite, Borderlands 3 and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. Users can also migrate their pre-existing purchases over to Nvidia’s service – meaning if you bought a game Steam, Origin and Epic Games Store.

Users can stream with GeForce Now starting today for free, but free users will only be able to play for 1 hour before having to log off and start a new session. You can start as many sessions a day as you like, but you have to log off and log back in after an hour. Nvidia says this is necessary for providing the best service for paid users.

GeForce Now’s premium service will cost you $5 dollars a month, which offers priority access to Nvidia’s servers and allows for extended sessions of up to 6 hours. GeForce Now beta members have also had their beta accounts automatically converted to this plan for free for the first few months.

As someone who’s used GeForce Now, I can say that it’s a pretty cool service. That is of course if you have decent connection. I did experience some visual artifacting and lag when playing PUBG, but I could look past it. Thoughts ?

NVIDIA's Titan V Was Made For AI Learning And Scientists

NVIDIA's newest Titan GPU is now available, and the company says it's the "world's most powerful GPU for the PC" yet. NVIDIA launched the Volta-powered Titan V at the annual Neural Information Processing Systems conference. Volta is NVIDIA's latest microarchitecture designed to double the energy efficiency of its predecessor, and Titan V can apparently deliver 110 teraflops of raw horsepower or around 9X what the previous Titan is capable of. This powerful new GPU's target? Scientists and researchers working on AI, deep learning and high performance computing. Since Volta was designed to work on a mixture of computation and calculations and has features created specifically for deep learning, scientists can use the GPU to build their own desktop PCs if they don't need special servers. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang said during the event:

"Our vision for Volta was to push the outer limits of high performance computing and AI. We broke new ground with its new processor architecture, instructions, numerical formats, memory architecture and processor links. With TITAN V, we are putting Volta into the hands of researchers and scientists all over the world. I can't wait to see their breakthrough discoveries."

The GPU, which is now available from NVIDIA's website and retailers, will cost $2,999.

Nvidia wants everyone to have access and to experience its hardware. With it being impossible to fit a GTX 1080 into a MacBook, has introduced a new version of its GeForce Now game streaming software that allows users to play any game they own from the likes of Steam, Origin, and Uplay on any Mac or PC. This will let PC gamers access its top-end hardware without needing to assemble a gaming PC. The GeForce Now service uses GTX 1080-equipped machines in data centers to stream games to PCs and Macs. Pricing starts at US$25 for 20 hours of play on a GTX 1060 PC, or 10 hours of play on a GTX 1080 PC. A demo of 8 hours on a GeForce GTX 1060 PC, or 4 hours on a GTX 1080 PC will be available. The new service works like a virtual desktop; users see a full Windows install on logging in. From there, they can load up regular versions of Steam, Battle.net, Origin, Uplay, and GOG and download any game they like from their existing library. While I don’t believe in game streaming services, if you’re a Mac users this seems really compelling and I will definitely give the Demo a try. Thoughts ?

Nvidia CEO Believes Ports For The Nintendo Switch Will BE Simple Due To The Tegra Chip

Nvidia CEO, Jen-Hsun Huang, spoke about the Nintendo Switch in the company’s financial call last week. Huang advised that the PS4, Xbox One, PC, and soon the Switch, have modern GPU’s in common, and as a result of that, game developers can “target a much larger base with one common code”. The Nintendo Switch has recently been confirmed to have a Tegra chip powered by Nvidia. Here’s what Huang mentioned in the call: “The quality of games has grown significantly. And one of the factors of production value of games that has been possible is because the PC and the two game consoles, Xbox and PlayStation, and — in the near-future — the Nintendo Switch, all of these architectures are common in the sense that they all use modern GPUs, they all use programmable shading, and they all have basically similar features.” As a result of that, game developers can target a much larger installed base with one common code base and, as a result, they can increase the production quality, production value of the games.” Thoughts ?

Japanese Journalist Details Alleged Nvidia Architecture For The Nintendo Switch

According to Japanese journalist Nishikawa Zenj, the Nintendo Switch will likely use the Nvidia Pascal ‘Parker’ architecture for the system GPU. He also claims that the special Tegra chip could allow Nintendo to enhance the system much like Sony has done with the PlayStation 4 Pro. Here’s all the info.

• Switch will likely use the NVIDIA Pascal ‘Parker’ architecture for its GPU
• the Tegra chip inside the platform could help the Switch evolve just like the PS4 and the PS4 Pro
• There are no indications that Nintendo will opt for the ‘Maxwell’ architecture within the Switch
• The custom NVIDIA chip will feature a floating-point performance around 1 TFLOPS
• There is almost “no possibility” that the Switch will perform above 1.5 TFLOPS due to the battery drive inside the Switch

Nvidia Is Bringing Its GTX 1000 Series GPUs To Notebooks

Nvidia is bringing its GTX 1000 series GPUs to laptops. This isn't the M series, it's the GTX 1060, GTX 1070, and GTX 1080 inside laptops (how insane in that!). Starting of, the GTX 1080 will run 2,560 CUDA cores at 1733Mhz, with 8GB of GDDR5X memory. The GTX 1070 (designed to replace the 980M) will run 2,048 CUDA cores at 1645Mhz with 8GB of GDDR5 memory, and the GTX 1060 (designed to replace the 970M) will run 1,280 CUDA cores at 1670Mhz with 6GB of GDDR5 memory. Nvidia's own benchmarks show impressive reference performance between the notebook and desktop versions of the GTX 1080, GTX 1070, and GTX 1060, with some tests leaving the notebook version of the GTX 1080 performing better. These latest GPUs provide at least 150% more performance than the M chips. Nvidia expects gaming notebook sales to increase by 30% this year, and its new GTX 1000 series will clearly help boost some of those notebook sales later this year. Gamers should get around 30% more battery life with these new GPUs, and Nvidia has tweaked its battery boost technology to improve frame variance when you're gaming without AC. Nvidia's biggest promise with these new GPUs is that they're VR ready, so you can use your HTC Vive or Oculus Rift on the go. What do you think of Nvidia giving gaming laptops a supercharge upgrade ?
