EVGA

EVGA Corporation is an American computer hardware company that produces motherboards, gaming laptops, power supplies. All-in-one liquid coolers, computer cases, and gaming mice. Founded on April 13, 1999, its headquarters are in Brea, California. EVGA also produced Nvidia GPU-based video cards until 2022.

Its products include motherboards, power supply units, and related accessories. They initially made graphics cards, dating back to the RIVA TNT2 in 1999. Some of their graphics card models included the SC, SSC, Classified, Kingpin (Stylized K|NGP|N). And FTW editions (as well as special KO editions in the past). In September 2022, the company ended its relationship with Nvidia and also stopped manufacturing graphics cards.

Initially, its motherboards were limited to Nvidia reference designs and expanded to non-reference designs based on Nvidia chipsets until Nvidia exited the motherboard market around 2009. Its motherboards began using Intel chipsets starting with the announcement of the “X58 SLI” in November 2008, which was a motherboard supporting 3-way SLI. In March 2009 it released the “X58 Classified” (E759) that increased the PCI Express (PCIe) capabilities by adding more physical slots and added an Nvidia NF200 bridging chip that increased the electronic PCIe lanes available, as well as other overclocking features.
