EVGA terminates relationship with NVIDIA; cites disrespectful treatment

[techuse]

It’s hard to believe anything other than money was the root cause of their decision. The people making these decisions care little about anything else.

Speculation on NVIDIA being dicks seems entirely reasonable, and yet at the same time seems like insufficient singular reason to close down a multi-billion dollar business. Which then gets us back to the point Broopster made earler:


I feel like this pretty much sums it up, as best as anyone here is going to be able to find.

It's more than reasonable. There's sufficient evidence showing that companies will drop Nvidia the moment there's a viable alternative. Nvidia only gets away with their behavior because they're the best in the space. The moment competition shows up, Nvidia is done. I really hope the rumored anti-trust proceedings against nvidia go ahead. Their pompousness needs to be checked big time.

But this is a tautology, no evidence is needed, this is how markets works.
Supliers are chosen based on some cost - quality equation, nothing else, and this is how it should be.

Companies would drop anyone if there would be a viable alternative providing them with a similar product at a lower price point. Most people would do the same.
