AIO use is for noobs.

Was TiN involved with the 3xxx series?

Don’t think so.

I got the 1080ti Kingpin for a number of reasons, none of which were LN2 record breaking benchmarking. It was easier back then at $1000. I want to but just can't justify $2200-$2500... but am still like maybe. 
I live where Kingpin is from which adds to the "cool" factor. Do we get a special T-shirt this time?

Signed T-Shirt! ;) please.. if it's really $2500 after copper block.

I heard we wilk have to wait till probably late Oct/Nov for it's release

if there is you think it still going to be $1500? :P
 

No KP wilk be well over 2K

I'm hoping elite members get first crack at the KP but one thing I don't like about the hydro copper is not being able to sync it with the MB for the rgb. Hopefully they release a KP HC with an ARGB.

I think I'd rather have a HC on custom loop than Kingpin.

Is there any way to remove the AIO & slap a waterblock on it?  Trying to decide between it and the 3090 with the HC block already installed.  I know no one but EVGA knows, but in the past have folks chose to add the Kingpin into a loop?

Obviously.

Im wondering if a 3090 kingpin @ $2500 would be preferable to 2 x 3090  @ $3000 in SLI (or whatever they call it)?

2X FE 3090 will destroy a 3090 KP, obviously.... KP is barely 2-5% faster than the FE.

Strangely enough a Kingpin 3090 could work out better bang for buck than a couple of 3090s in SLI as there are so few games that support mGPU setups.
 
Kingpin cards also tend to have very good quiet coolers which make them ideal for gaming compared to some of their more noisy rivals.

Better bang for buck than over 20,000 CUDA cores for rendering? Sure buddy. Keep thinking the kingpin for $1K more than 3090 FE is worth it.

Also buying a waterblock for other cards exists, btw.

SLI is dead, so should be spending $1K+ more for the same card just because it has voltage controls and an AIO on it.

You obviously would not use a Kingpin for rendering.
 
For gaming bang for buck the Kingpin is poor value but is still better than 3090 FE SLI as mGPU working is very rare these days and even worse value.
 
As other people have pointed out you use a Kingpin for benching but when you are not doing that they are fantastic gaming cards.

I had a 2080 Ti KP, didn't outperform my FE on chiller, useless cards apart from warranty.

Did you try the Kingpin on a chiller, if you had it would beat a FE card.

Yup, confirmed here: https://forums.evga.com/FindPost/3086210

I wish Jacob would confirm somewhere in this forum that kingpin will actually release in oct/nov
 
I'd be willing to wait. Especially if we get a 500watt bios

I'll confirm late October.  Of course, that's how things stand today.

I think you put too much faith is this overpriced card.

It is not overpriced if it does what you need it to, if all you want to do is play games then you should get something like a FE 3080.
 
I don't mind paying extra for unusual cards as they are a lot of fun, for example I am posting this using a Titan V.
