the problem with overclocking is that the normal GPUs are so extremely powerful that it is not more necessary. For me personally it is the opposite for everyday use, it needs less noise and heat and saves power. I don't like Nvidia but the 4060 is so great for saving money! I hope more cards like this come out with 75W TDP ! But I always love KINGPIN's work! Big RESPECT❤ 👍
Huge thanx to GN for stopping by the new lab, it was a blast to hang out with Steve and his crew! Also I truly appreciate the support and interest that the gamers nexus fans have given me over the years with the cards and other HW I have been involved with. THANK YOU guys!
Now only one's as good as them left are all team red. Sapphire gets the most recognition but also xfx and powercolor. Most of the talent from EVGA is gone though, they won't come back.
I never had any luck with EVGA but both the cards I had from them started to fail with getting artifacting from memory errors around a month after the warranty was up. Went back to ATI/AMD at that point and have never had a card die and with Nvidia being what they are now I just don't see myself ever going back. I probably would have tried an EVGA AMD card though if they moved that direction instead of shuttering.
While I have moved on, I do still miss EVGA. I bought a 3080 FTW3 Ultra second hand back in 2021 at the peak of the GPU craze. Then earlier this year, my GPU fried itself. I was so sad cause I wasn't planning on shelling out the $$ to upgrade to something better or even equivalent for at least another generation or two. So I decided on a whim to reach out to EVGA support, even though I was not the original purchaser, didn't have the original receipt and was quite possibly outside of the 3 year warranty. To my surprise, EVGA didn't care about any of that stuff and RMA'd my 3080, saving me hundreds. It was seriously the best customer service experience that I've ever had in my life. Ya just don't see that all too often.
As a kid I once had a cup spill all over my old 300x series card. I sent an RMA and they honored the lifetime warranty the card carried even though it was my error. I religiously bought EVGA during the lifetime of the company because of that. Treat consumers right, get paid.
I mean any good company true to their heart and passion will take in defective product so they can see what went wrong and can they fix it. It doesn't matter if they are not making GPU right now, the information they get from the defect can still be used on other product and even though they are not making GPU anymore nothing say they could make a comeback in the future. For GPUs EVGA was/is by far the best company. In the laptop market Framework would take the W.
@@Lumerlume11 I'm in the exact same boat. It really sucks :( I still have every EVGA card I've ever owned, including my EVGA GTX 280. Gonna be holding onto and using this EVGA 3080 Ti for a long time...
I have never seen KP this talkative and genuinely happy and at peace. Dude was always chilled AF and a really cool guy with wicked talents. It'd be HUGE to have someone of his calibre on YT and maybe even make some cash from it. Guy is a legend.
@@aliensounddigital8729 PNY has always been a imo since I worked at Best Buy back in the early 2000s one of the better manufactures. I own an 8 year old SSD and an older micro sd card for my tablet from them. Both have been going strong.
My 4090 and my 3090 are both PNY. Zero issues. Literally none. My brother's 4070 died. Four days later and with some very nice reps at PNY, they organised a swap. When they received confirmation from the European partners about receiving the card, they sent the new one via insured mail and refunded the shipping. Not only that, received a £30 voucher for Scan. (We're in the UK). We were speechless at how good the experience was. No one tried pulling a fast one. It was "this is not right let us do the right thing". The 4070 has been solid. Zero issues.
@@aliensounddigital8729 If Kingpin is willing to put his name on it it's going to be expensive but absolutely solid. The dude has never had a dud. Whether it's the best overclocking card on the planet is for reviews to decide, but whether it is a solid card that runs right, even if you lean on it, can be taken on faith (until his first blunder).
Same. PNY, despite not being as big as ASUS or MSI makes very, very solid products. Between KINGPIN's knowledge and ability to squeeze every last drop of performance out of card designs and PNY's manufacturing abilities this could very well become the EVGA "replacement" we've all been waiting for.
@@frizo21 Agreed almost bought PNY cards multiple times. Simply having a advisor to explain the value of high grade power delivery could be incredible.
The pricing on PNY might have a lot of consumers skeptical their in Zotac quality, but they are actually fairly comparable to EVGA as far as design and materials. PNY is a perfect home for Vince as their typical lineup is slim and budget friendly with a lot of room for marketing an xoc lineup.
Any company that is willing to work with Kingpin in the way he wants speaks volumes. If that is PNY or any other vendor who will do it his way, that's action we appreciate! Glad to see KP again and I look forward to whatever comes next!
My Dad and I build computers as a hobby, we try to one up each other with each new build. I still remember when he bought a KINGPIN card and won that generation of builds. Strong brand recognition for me personally.
Very enthusiastic for the PNY - Kingpin collab. Hopefully Kingpin can achieve 2 things here: push better / faster products for PNY to sell and (hoping) their company culture sort of turns into the one EVGA had when it comes to things like customer support, honoring warranty, etc etc and in turn PNY is awarded many profits, growth and goodwill for their and Kingpins efforts.
I've ran PNY cards before, and I work in IT for medical offices - run into PNY quite a bit working on 3d acquisition machines - they are rock solid. I have yet to find one to fail in the field, and I've been in this industry for 6 years now. Good for you PNY for stepping your game up and getting involved in filling the space left by EVGA. EVGA, you will be missed.
The first time I saw Vince was in the promo video for the EVGA 680i SLI motherboard. I bought one back then and I still have it now, all these years later! It's great to see the KiNGPiN again, especially looking as relaxed and happy as he does now.
Here in Luxembourg, PNY is considered a budget brand, but no BS. You get what you pay for, and it's solid, but no bells and whistles. So perfect for me. Sounds like a great place for Kingpin to shine.
I had some pny 1060s, they were very barebones compared to other cards I had, but they ran flawlessly (I just used them for mining and they never failed) just like my (much nicer) EVGA cards did
Same here in North America. I had a PNY 1GB GTX 460. Overall it was a solid card but it had a few VBIOS issues. It did not like working with P67 or Z68 systems, but it was totally fine in an x58 system. It kept having 'Stop Driver' errors in Sandy Bridge systems. Eventually these errors went away.
my EVGA 1080 ftw now lives in my son's PC after I upgraded to a 4080. That card is getting a lifetime of use and never ever failed. Once my son is done with it, its going on my wall.
Awesome to see Vince exploring and taking on new projects. Learning is a lifelong pursuit! As for seeing new Kingpin cards, I'm all for it, especially if some of the innovations make it to the higher end everyday cards too.
I love the way they both spend the whole video fanboying over eachother, it's amazing to see just how must respect they hold for eachother and view eachother as the absolute legends they are
I have an old GTX 660 PNY XLR8 card, thanks for showing us Kingpin, interesting projects and nice E moto superbike / dirt bikes. Ill get a 5080 later this year, will look out for a Kingpin edition.
I was able to trade in my 2060 for the 3070 FTW3 and only pay the difference in msrp price with their trade-up program during the peak of the gpu shortage in early 2021. EVGA was the best gpu manufacturer and I’ll never get rid of that card!
So I still have my EVGA 3090 ftw3 ultra hybrid as a backup gpu thanks to their RMA and customer support dedication. Sure the card made a loud pop during a normal gaming session and gave me the red lights of death, but I called them and they said “no problem, send it in”. I have a brand new card in less than 2 weeks. So what did I do next? I bought a 1600 watt psu from them which now powers my current rig with a strix 4090 OC LC because EVGA proved to me they stand behind their products. If EVGA was still producing cards I wouldn’t have that Asus rig in my case.
I'm just happy that he didn't discontinue his thermal paste. I was tempted to grab a crap ton of it just in case it went away. It's realistically the only thermal paste I use on anything.
*KINGPIN* is like the George Foreman of the GPU world. He is the full embodiment of George Forman's catchphrase - *_"I'm so proud of it, I put my name on it!"_*
I can listen Steve and Vince talk about anything for hours. They are such a good duo. Hope to see you two do something together when new Kingpin card launches.
It's a new chapter and I like his attitude! A very long time I didn't understand why to buy his products, but now I understand his commitment to the things he does.
Missed this guys presence in the game. Glad to hear PNY gave him to space to do what he does. Looking forwards to seeing what enthusiast craziness they can make together.
I literaly can watch endless hours of Steve and Vince talking about hardware and overclock… Have been here with the channel since 10k …. This is by far the best duo you could find on youtube, from which you can learn something. I so hope we go back to these late streams OC, GPU/CPU - even if it is just talks about new arch , etc. we need those streams back @Gamersnexus!!!
We don't like the CEO behind EVGA. He's apparently well known to abuse employees, scream at them constantly, sometimes even pouring hot tea on their laps. We love EVGA quality and their respect for the customers.
Since ive started gaming ive loved the idea of budget building and pulling every little tweak out to get max performance and PNY has always done me well in SSD's and GPU's. Long story short they are a budget builders best friend, its about time they get the recognition imo.
In my experience all the "real McCoys" are like that. It's the "good but not exceptional" guys with a chip on their shoulder that resort to arrogance and/or chest pounding.
Love the kingpin brand, the idea and concept of understanding one’s equipment fully to maximize performance is a personal goal. I’ve never owned kingpin cards or boards but someday I hope to.
@AllAboutKingpin Now that 50-series is coming closer, I really hope you guys make a comeback to the GPU market. Still running the 3090 from EVGA, no other supplier caught my eye in 40-series. If a Kingping card comes out, will definitely be in the market for it!
This makes me so happy to see Kingpin back in action with a new card possibly on the horizon. I have 2 grand burning a hole in my pocket to buy the first one he releases. Heck I would love to buy one of the ones on his test bench that he's worked on to just to get an autographed one!
I've always kind of overlooked PNY, but Kingpin has earned enough respect over the years that I'll consider them (after detailed reviews, of course) if he's willing to work with them.
PNY is slept on, they're the only cards I've run besides EVGA for years! I believe they(PNY)exclusively build the Quadros? I'm no expert, just an enthusiast who builds, and could be wrong.
they were the only AIB that are given licensed by nvidia to make Quadro. something to do with they were the only one end up passing the qualification/certification test by nvidia to make their professional grade card.
I'm for sure getting one of the solder mats to use for my modeling/painting so I can just slap it on top of my desk to protect my mouse mat and desktop
I have a PNY 4080 Super. I flashed its BIOS to unlock the power limit, and it performs like a champ. I'm happy with my purchase. It was the only card available at MSRP.
My first gpu was pny and actually scored 1ste in timespy in the world with it and it was amazingly solid, can't wait to see more and what Kingpin does with it, all the best
@@JaykeBlayde If it's better than an FE it will be more expensive than an FE. Board partners absolutely hate the FE because it makes them look bad no matter what they do. Nvidia is competing against it's partners.
I'm still in love with RoboClocker. Would love to get my head around some of the math to get a better idea of how much LN2 is needed based on different temp targets, then hopefully build my own version.
@@GamersNexus Agreed! It got me interested in cooling and ever since I've been slowly exploring thermal dynamics. At this point my goal is enough of an understanding to know what it would take to run at warmer temps for longer periods of time, that a LN2 generator could keep up with. Then pair that with the Elmor Labs design from Computex 2019 to make it easier to manage condensation.

Shame Kingpin can't do something with AMD.
Is Kingpin going to release any computer cases you can spend 20 minutes talking about? That would be so awesome!!!
You’re right I have a neutral feeling for the company. And would love for kingpin to join them. It would benefit both consumer and company

@@Ezz0Clanprobably never if he is going to PNY
One of the things that really made the EVGA was their incredible warranty and support. Hope PNY also recognizes that.

Which video? There's like 30 about EVGA in the past couple of years.
There's the "The Final Days of EVGA's GPU Division: Building the Last Video Card" when the GPU division ended
Same! Right after I finished the EVGA documentary the video had just gotten posted so it was perfect timing :)
It is really nice to see Kingpin back. He's always seemed like such a genuinely lovely person.

I remember 9 years ago my dream was to own a GTX780ti KingPin. that card was a killer!
evga my beloved :(
I literaly can watch endless hours of Steve and Vince talking about hardware and overclock…
Have been here with the channel since 10k …. This is by far the best duo you could find on youtube, from which you can learn something.
I so hope we go back to these late streams OC, GPU/CPU - even if it is just talks about new arch , etc.
we need those streams back @Gamersnexus!!!
Just finished A level exams and now Kingpin is back.
Life couldnt get any better
Legends don't die, they reborn - or in Vince's case, rebrands himself. Welcome back, now with more freedom than ever. We missed you!
I love seeing yall together Kingpin and GN. I’m buying the next card he’s involved with.
We love EVGA
Loved*
We don't like the CEO behind EVGA. He's apparently well known to abuse employees, scream at them constantly, sometimes even pouring hot tea on their laps.
We love EVGA quality and their respect for the customers.
Long live EVGA
@@Appri wtf are u saying? got any proof of that?
Kingpin*
Since ive started gaming ive loved the idea of budget building and pulling every little tweak out to get max performance and PNY has always done me well in SSD's and GPU's. Long story short they are a budget builders best friend, its about time they get the recognition imo.
Still have my 980 KINGPIN,
Awesome to see his lab is just decked out in GN gear. Good work, boys.
Thank you EVGA for all the amazing quality GPUs you provided for your customers.
kingpin might be one of those rare people who exudes confidence, aware of his own skills, and yet still sound pretty down to earth
back to you, Steve
In my experience all the "real McCoys" are like that. It's the "good but not exceptional" guys with a chip on their shoulder that resort to arrogance and/or chest pounding.
I'm stoked for a KingPin/PNY product!
Love the kingpin brand, the idea and concept of understanding one’s equipment fully to maximize performance is a personal goal. I’ve never owned kingpin cards or boards but someday I hope to.
Great to see Kingpin. Just always seem to be a genuinely down to earth good guy who wants products to work as intended. Cheers
EVGA should've released Intel Arc GPUs
100% or could’ve switched to AMD , those would’ve been some sick gpus
That would have been amazing, or if the EVGA gpu division just made their own company to work with Intel.
afaik EVGA is just overall burned out making GPUs. Not a single hint anywhere that they are intrested in any other partner.
That would be a BIG game changer
@@Haiburidu it won't. just look what happen with XFX before.
Still proudly rocking my EVGA 1080ti ftw3
Same.
There aren't many video cards worthy of the title "a classic" but that's one of them
Same. And that explains everything about the reputation EVGA achieved.
Me too, with an Intel 6700k CPU

It's nice to see Vince again on the channel ❤
Can't wait to see those new KingPin cards even they are definitely out of my budget 😅
@AllAboutKingpin Now that 50-series is coming closer, I really hope you guys make a comeback to the GPU market. Still running the 3090 from EVGA, no other supplier caught my eye in 40-series.
If a Kingping card comes out, will definitely be in the market for it!
Kingpin seems like a cool guy and their professional respect for each other is only outshined by their obvious friendship. Great video Steve!!!
The man - the LEGEND. Exciting to see him rockin'.
Every evga is a treasure now
I have (2x) 750's, a 760, a 970, a 1060, a 1660, and a 2070.
All EVGA, never to leave my possession.
Facts
Never gonna sell my evga 3070
Ive blown quite a few up XOC fitting way to go
EVGA cards must be preserved ♥️ no matter how old model parts there are ♥️👌
Cheers GN for the great video as always
Best of luck to ya Kingpin!
RIP. It would be cool if they tried to make laptops again, their design with the GTX 1070 in it was really promising back then.
I ain’t even into overclocking and this guy makes me wanna watch him due to his attitude and energy
Until my current MSI 3090, all my cards were EVGA. My previous EVGA card lives on to this day in a workstation build, 8 years old and still going
*Steve enters the studio like it is his father's*
Seconds later
Kingpin: welcome
"no, i am your father..."
So if people here keep referring to Steve as "Tech Jesus", does that make KINGPIN "Tech God"? Well, that does appear to be quite accurate.
Great to see that Kingpin might be making a come back. Would love to get my hands on a Kingpin 5090.
This makes me so happy to see Kingpin back in action with a new card possibly on the horizon. I have 2 grand burning a hole in my pocket to buy the first one he releases. Heck I would love to buy one of the ones on his test bench that he's worked on to just to get an autographed one!
Good to see a update about kingpin. Sad evga is gone. Still using a 3080 ftw3 and always liked there cards and customer service.
WELCOME BACK KINGPIN !!!!
I still can’t believe EVGA is gone.😢
well it's not. Only GPU division. They still make great PSUs.
WELCOME BACK, COMMANDER (in XCom spokesman voice)
I loved this video! You guys were like two old friends/fanboys of each other just catching up in the new lab!
I've always kind of overlooked PNY, but Kingpin has earned enough respect over the years that I'll consider them (after detailed reviews, of course) if he's willing to work with them.
PNY is slept on, they're the only cards I've run besides EVGA for years! I believe they(PNY)exclusively build the Quadros? I'm no expert, just an enthusiast who builds, and could be wrong.
I dunno if PNY still does makes the Quadro cards, but i can confirm they made the Pascal and Turning ones.
@@f0x4nn3they do. And will be involved in the server Blackwell stuff.
they were the only AIB that are given licensed by nvidia to make Quadro. something to do with they were the only one end up passing the qualification/certification test by nvidia to make their professional grade card.
PNY has the worst power phases and only 450 watts limit.
@@cemsengul16 only because they design their cards to be ran within NVIDIA spec. If they make a kingpin card that will change
I'm for sure getting one of the solder mats to use for my modeling/painting so I can just slap it on top of my desk to protect my mouse mat and desktop
So, I did a graduate degree in physics...that was the first time someone has ACTUALLY explained what metrology was.
I have a PNY 4080 Super. I flashed its BIOS to unlock the power limit, and it performs like a champ. I'm happy with my purchase. It was the only card available at MSRP.
My first gpu was pny and actually scored 1ste in timespy in the world with it and it was amazingly solid, can't wait to see more and what Kingpin does with it, all the best
PNY is about to be the best selling cards real fast
I'm in the market for 4070 Super. Currently the PNY model is not as good as FE. Maybe when there's a KingPin version of products be better.
Not likely. PNY is garbage. It's going to take a lot to boost their sales and I don't think the Kingpin name is going to do it.
@@JaykeBlayde If it's better than an FE it will be more expensive than an FE. Board partners absolutely hate the FE because it makes them look bad no matter what they do. Nvidia is competing against it's partners.
7:49 He's not an RGB 'FAN'
The king has returned!
Vince, please make this work! There's a bunch of people that would like to see it happen, me included.
I’d buy a pny kingpin 5090, let’s gooooo!
I'm still in love with RoboClocker. Would love to get my head around some of the math to get a better idea of how much LN2 is needed based on different temp targets, then hopefully build my own version.
One of the coolest engineering projects we've seen!
@@GamersNexus Agreed! It got me interested in cooling and ever since I've been slowly exploring thermal dynamics.
At this point my goal is enough of an understanding to know what it would take to run at warmer temps for longer periods of time, that a LN2 generator could keep up with. Then pair that with the Elmor Labs design from Computex 2019 to make it easier to manage condensation.
He would do the Most Good for the world if he switched teams to pull up whoever the underdog is at the time. But, that's not gonna happen.
Glad to see KINGPIN is still in the game, hope they succeed in their future endeavors!
pny was surprising . I expected him to work with sapphire or Powercolor
As much as I'd love to see K|NGP|N move to the Red Team, it's never gonna happen.
@@GrizzAxxemann sadly yes .
@@GrizzAxxemann sadly yes .
@@GrizzAxxemann Never say never. People also said that AMD would never have better performance and efficiency than Intel, yet here we are.
@@andersjjensen Oh trust me, dude. Iwant a KP Radeon card in the worst way. But I'm certain Jensen has him on an invisible leash.
We need more collaboration with pin this was so cool
I will hold and treasure my 3090 forever. Sitting on my display case in box, kingpin is HIM
