Didn’t Nvidia make the GPU’s and EVGA make graphics cards using Nvidia’s GPU’s?

I’m sure they are smart engineers but it sounds to me like they have expertise in integrating Nvidia’s GPU’s on PCIe for x86-64 architecture hardware instead of designing the chips.  They sound like they have the skill set to make a system using chips made by Red Semiconductor.  I’m not trying to say they can’t contribute to libre-soc right now, just that the skill set they were hired for at EVGA will probably be more useful to libre-soc once we have working silicon.
