[Rumor] EVGA Partnering With AMD On Vega & Radeon RX 500 Series Graphics Cards
According to recent chatter around the tech-sphere, Nvidia’s biggest partner, EVGA may be jumping on the AMD Vega train this year..
..EVGA is a well established premium brand and the most popular among GeForce customers, especially in north America. Bringing that strong brand recognition over to the Radeon side will help the company [AMD] penetrate new markets and could have a positive impact on Vega sales.. it will also make a relatively small market even more competitive for AMD’s existing board-partners and thus could prove to be an unpopular decision for AMD management to even allow it...
Another, "we'll see" rumor. If it happens, it will validate AMD's "new direction". If it doesn't happen, it may only be a "business decision" among AMD, EVGA, and Nvidia -- rather than a "vote of no confidence" (according to the article).
