EVGA Corporation is an American computer hardware company that produces NvidiaGPU based video cards as well as Intel chipset based motherboards for the consumer and enthusiast market segments. Since 2010, the company has begun adding other computer components to its portfolio, including gaming laptops, power supplies, computer cases, and gaming mice. Founded in July 1999, its headquarters is in Brea, California.
EVGA products include motherboards, graphic cards (including factory-overclocked models), power supply units and related accessories. Initially motherboards were limited to NVIDIA reference designs, but expanded to non-reference designs based on NVIDIA chipsets, and are based on Intel chipsets following the exit of NVIDIA from the motherboard market. The first EVGA motherboard based on an Intel chipset was the X58 SLI, supporting 3-way SLI, and was announced in November 2008. Factory-overclocked graphics cards included the SC, SSC and FTW editions (as well as special KO editions in the past). Other products, such as specialized VGA coolers and VGA water blocks, are also available from EVGA.
In March 2009, EVGA released the X58 Classified (E759), an EVGA specialized board with a NVIDIA NF200 chip (the E760 Classified does not have the NF200 chip). It is an Intel X58-chipset based motherboard with many overclocking-friendly features.
In September 2009, EVGA released the world's first 4-way SLI capable motherboard (XL-ATX form factor) which allows up to four GPUs to run in a 4-way SLI configuration. The first graphics processing unit to support 4-way SLI was the EVGA GTX 285 Classified; more recent GPUs like the GTX 980 also support 4-way SLI. The company also released a dual-socket motherboard based on the Intel 5520 chipset with overclocking features. Named Classified SR-2, this motherboard supports dual Socket LGA 1366 Xeon-based Intel CPUs and 4-way SLI. It was the first HPTX form factor motherboard.
