Slightly tour of the world of affect and types with EVGA and JayzTwoCents, who acquired an intriguing little package deal. Indeed, the videographer had the chance to get his arms on one of many uncommon GTX 1080 KingPin PCBs produced. What’s extra, the parcel contained the one overhauled RTX 3090 Ti PCB!
And a GTX 1080 Kingpin PCB, one!
The GTX 1080 KPE is a card that by no means noticed the sunshine of day, since EVGA determined to supply a KPE (KingPin Edition) model of the GTX 1080 Ti as a substitute. However, this doesn’t imply that the model hasn’t labored on it – fairly the opposite. As you may see, the videographer acquired a printed circuit board of the cardboard, one in every of three at the moment obtainable.
As you may see, all of the tracks show copper tones, and that’s completely regular. One imagines that EVGA was planning the identical sort of aesthetic for this mannequin as for the Ti model. As a reminder, the heatsink of its Ti counterpart was made fully of copper. We think about this was a method of matching the aesthetics of the PCB to the heatsink.
And a revised RTX 3090 Ti KPE PCB, the one and solely!
This second PCB is actually distinctive, because it was the final mannequin Vince “KingPin” Lucido labored on earlier than EVGA discontinued graphics playing cards. It’s additionally the one revised Engeneering Validation Test (EVT) in existence.
As you may see, in comparison with the little 1080, the GPU is far bigger, whereas the twin 12VHPWR connectors might be seen on the rear of the cardboard. On the opposite hand, stunning as it might appear, the 2 PCBs are fairly comparable in dimension.
In quick, it’s nonetheless very unhappy that EVGA has needed to stop its graphics card actions. After all, time flies, and it’s been nearly a 12 months already .
