Well, EVGA isn't just reselling Nvidia's product. They are building a new product (a vidio card) that uses Nvidia's product (the GPU itself). So by setting a price ceiling, they prevent card makers for making higher end cards with more features and/or higher quality. And I would argue that preventing the existence of a product that consumers might want hurts some consumers at least.

unfortunately, a product that doesn't exist isn't really a harm, it's hypothetical harm at best, which would be really difficult to argue as monopolistic.
I actually think this business agreement ending is a good thing - it gives AMD and other card manufacturers a way to get in, and compete with nvidia. In the short term it might hurt, but long term is better.
