This is a big blow for Nvidia. I currently own a Founders Edition card, but all of my other NV cards were Evga. For me, I'd exclusively buy Evga cards, the only reason I don't is because 2-slot cards are hard to come by from 3rd party vendors. Evga is the first NV brand I go to. It was my first card after I finally moved from 3dfx. A Geforce 2 MX. I used the step-up program many times over the years. They honored their RMAs, with advance RMA. If I'm NV, I'd give Evga privileged status over other vendors (more profits). They've done a lot for Nvidia. The other brand I could see taking their place is Corsair, but no one is going to take a bad deal with Nvidia. This may be the beginning of the end of 3rd party cards. Just buy them all direct, like CPUs.
