The Kingpin RTX 3090 Ti goes on sale with a bundled 1600W PSU

pcgamer.com:

EVGA has released its long teased(opens in new tab) RTX 3090 Ti Kingpin Hybrid Gaming graphics card. As if you needed any reminding after seeing its $2,499 price tag, this isn’t a card with mass market appeal. Perhaps wary that potential buyers will keel over in shock, EVGA is bundling a 1600W Supernova PSU with the card.

The EVGA Kingpin RTX 3090 Ti is definitely a lust worthy card. Everything about it is over the top. It comes with a 14-layer PCB that packs in 24 power phases and dual 16 pin power connectors. When you add 2x600W to the 75W from the PCIe connection, that means the card has 1275W of available power delivery. It features a boost clock of 1950MHz and it comes with 24GB of 21Gbps GDDR6X memory. It’s cooled with a blower style cooler joined by a 360mm AIO—hence the hybrid designation.

Other key features include a 176x48 pixel OLED display, triple BIOS, and an interesting tethering cable for preventing GPU sag. The OLED display is attached directly to the card and can be used to show various GIFs, or more importantly for overclockers, real time monitoring information about the card.

This isn’t a card that’s designed for the average gamer though. Its high-quality components and massively overbuilt VRM are overkill for most gamers. It’s designed for overclocking, particularly with liquid nitrogen. Even without ln2, there should be some headroom thanks to the 360mm Asetek liquid cooler. If you don’t plan to OC, there’s always the EVGA 3090 Ti FTW hybrid for $2,199, or standard air-cooled cards for under $1,999 that will perform at almost the same level as the Kingpin card.
