Warranty

edit

Removed incorrect statement claiming EVGA did not offer warranty support outside of the US because they did not offer refunds on products not purchased directly from EVGA. Products under warranty are REPLACED, not refunded. I cite the following publicly accessible webpage as my reason for the edit: http://www.evga.com/support/warranty/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.113.29.55 (talk) 23:06, 9 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

Could you please tell me why not a single other motherboard or graphics card companies page was deleted?

Removed statement which claimed that EVGA did not provide support outside the US, Europe and Canada.

number of employees

edit

The citation for the number of employees is some for-pay information aggregation site which doesn't list the cited information publicly, and 36 seems very incorrect considering they have international offices. I'd be inclined to just remove the fact entirely unless someone has a better source? nwatson (talk) 00:01, 9 November 2011 (UTC)Reply

"Customer support" section

edit

The "customer support" section currently takes up a large part of the total article, but comes across as pretty insignificant, containing tiny details about EVGA's warranty program that is hardly relevant for any reader who has not purchased products from EVGA, whereas those who have purchased products ought to have their own copy of the warranty program as part of the purchase. Rather, I get the feeling that this section is just here because there have been controversial edits from disgruntled customers in the past of which this is just the smoldering remains. Considering the dates cited, it's also probably outdated. I suggest the section be removed, unless it can be edited to say something that's actually relevant to readers. --Dolda2000 (talk) 16:32, 11 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

Foundational-era history

edit

I'm trying to figure out what their first graphics product was and the year, because I feel like that would be an interesting addition to the article. Unfortunately, their website doesn't cover it and 3rd party sources seem to be conflicting and thus unreliable.

The PC Gamer source currently in the article seems to indicate straight from 1999 with the RIVA TNT2. This is in-fact the original release date of the card, and EVGA provide parts numbers and specs for it. However, on reflection there's no evidence for EVGA making it themselves, and/or selling it at release. There's no telling when the inventory came into their stock and from what supplier in what form.

Jon Peddie for JPR seems to say it was 2000 with the MX440 cooler, although this doesn't necessarily seem exactly likely either. EVGA themselves state that the "Asymmetric Cooling System" (ACS) or banana was released in 2002, as was the MX440. While the GeForce 4 MX subgroup (including the MX440) was actually based on the GeForce 2 series released in 2000, this seems a bit of an error on Peddie's part that makes me doubt the year.

Maybe I'm overthinking it, but maybe some of this info will warrant inclusion in the article. -- Techhead7890 (talk) 01:45, 18 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
