"They handled the RTX Fiasco well"
I've typically purchased EVGA products through other vendors. Not even intentionally -- I just always looked for the graphics card (typically) that I wanted, and almost always I've ended up with an EVGA because they had good reviews and were at the right price point.
Anyway, anyone who wanted an Nvidia RTX 30X0 card this year knows what a hassle it has been to get one. Places like Newegg and Amazon are sold out instantly, and the cards go up on eBay for up to double the price due to the abundance of scalpers buying all the stock out with bots.
EVGA implemented a program where you could register on their site to get in line for an RTX. One per customer. As a result, I ended up getting an RTX 3080 at a standard price, fairly promptly (admittedly I signed up fast.)
There was even a problem with my account the day I received the notice (you'd get a ~12 hour window from the notification via email in order to actually complete your purchase, since the products are in demand), so I called their customer support and they were extremely helpful and nice.
Anyway, I ultimately got my card, and all is well.
I just really appreciate the fact that they clearly cared about their customers feeling like they had a chance to get a card from them fairly, instead of just caring about making that initial sale and then being done with the whole thing.
Great company.
