hello do you think they will release it with the waterblock like the 3090 kp? this would allow those who did not have it to get it but with the wb directly on it

Probably not

no

if these cards are a "test run" for the next gen i suppose its POSSIBLE we see blocks that can fit 90TIs (with 2 power connectors)

Won’t happen.

500 I think is s stretch, I would be surprised if it was over 50, and on EBAY?!, that would be nuts, you can't give away a Kingpin right now, 1275 for the hybrid and 1450 for the HC is all they are fetching

I am pretty sure the only hope for this card getting blocked is if someone comes out with a workaround to adapt something that is close, right now, looking at slim and none for blocking this card unless you build your own.

Yeah, I was thinking maybe 100-200 due to there being people not active on the forums getting them too however the bundle was listed on the Asus site as well so I assume the Asian market got in on it as well. If serial number is anything to go by mine was in the high 80s and I got my email in the 2nd wave and purchased immediately. Doubt they're shipped out sequentially though.

Edit: plus they have to save some for RMAs

Idk if they actually produced the full 500 units. But they likely did. All I know was that months ago, I was told by someone in the know it was to be a 500 unit run. With the way the 3090 Ti launch has gone, and the market has cratered I think that was a good decision by EVGA. Too many more and I'm not sure they would have sold out. Took a few days as is.

Also the bins on all these cards seem pretty good. I haven't seen a single person not be able to maintain about 2160 MHz or more on Port Royal. Outside of the cherry picked launch chips for AIBs by Nvidia the rest of the 3090 Ti silicon (like the other GA102 cards) is really really weak. Seen cards that won't even sustain 2130 MHz. So anyone who got a 3090 Ti KP has a comparatively strong piece of silicon.

Here's another way to look at it: 3090 official MSRP is $1299.99 now so even used KPE 3090s are fetching almost new prices for Hybrid and more for the HC.
 
KPE 3090ti was a known limited run and it sold out in about 10 days from first queue pops.
 
500 sounds about right for a world wide release maybe a hair less. To think only 50 were made is low and eBay would be for those who wanted one and didn't get one regardless of it being a 3090ti and wanting a KPE 3090ti specifically. 3090ti's in general are selling. Not at the rate Nvidia would have liked during the mining craze but they are moving. The KPE 3090ti is just a very limited run of a very special brand name and association.
