&gt;Are they? How is EVGA staying in business? 

They make a lot more than just gpus. Granted that was their main source of income but they said they'll stay afloat and not fire anyone.


&gt;Also why does Nvidea even bother with letting other companies aftermarket cards if they’re so hostile to those companies?

They're just not ready for that kind of demand I think. They're slowly letting go of them and focusing on ramping their own cards so later they control everything. Jensen wants the same control as Apple does but on gpus, he said this himself.

IIRC EVGA makes most of their profit from motherboards due to shrinking margins on GPUs. I think some of them are even B2B which is more consistent and with way better margins.
