seems odd to open a queue for a product they don't plan to release for months. i would expect drops to start by end of the month, but i'm not holding my breath and will work another channel to grab the 3090Ti HOF just in case

Never had a Galax card, is the HOF on par with KP?  Seem like a lot harder to get, in US especially.

the OC Lab hall of fame cards are in the range of the KPE for sure. oc lab stuff is china only, but after poking around some last year I managed to find a contact there. will they sell me a 3090Ti HOF? We will see :D

So no ETA or pricing for the KPE RTX 3090 Ti yet. Looks like it could be months before we will drops for this

If we're bumping up against June and with 40(or 50)-series potentially announced in September, that's going to be a hard sell.  But like with other releases, the KP will drag anyway, so may be until 2023 until we see a 40-series KP card?

Since it looks like 3090 Ti PCBs are already primed for 40 series with a lot of manufacturers (FE and other cards have empty pads for beefier VRMs, jumpers to boost the 16 pin from 450w spec to 600w spec, and empty pads for additional 16 pin connectors) I'm betting Kingpins will be coming sooner rather than later next gen. More Decemberish like the 3090 than Aprilish like the 2080 Ti.

Since it looks like that may be the case if the 3090 Ti Kingpin doesn't come really soon I'll probably be waiting for 40 series.

I'm selling my 3090 KP i got back in January if anyone is interested.

The EVGA forum has a separate section for that.

Although My 3090 Kingpin Preformed lower then my 3090 FTW3 Ultra with front only EKWB.  And the 40 series if it comes later this year  would be a better path.

Added to the self-reported list. Best of luck!

We are now at 31 souls on the self-reported 3090 Ti KPE Hybrid list. I doubt we will see any movement benefitting this group until at least June. (I really hope I am wrong.)

I was hoping Vince's "not much longer" wasn't going to be that much longer.  My decision to purchase will rely solely on if they make a waterblock for the thing.  When announced they didn't have an answer but Jacob seemed to imply there would be a concrete answer before the thing launches.  But as far as I know, no news either way.
