You must have heard of overclocking master Vince “Kingpin” Lucido ! He has worked with graphics manufacturer EVGA for many years and was the man behind their legendary Kingpin series of graphics cards.
Kingpin’s new mission, new companions, new surprises
EVGA discontinued their graphics card business in September 2022 . In September 2022, EVGA exited their VGA business by terminating all contracts with Nvidia just prior to the release of the GeForce RTX 30 series. They blamed Nvidia ‘s Bad Business Behavior and completely shut down their graphics card manufacturing unit. However, despite discontinuing the graphics card unit, EVGA continues to work on their other products.
When EVGA pulled out of the VGA business just before the GeForce RTX 30 series, Kingpin began looking for new partners. And this time, his new partner is PNY !
Kingpin’s new launch at Computex
In an exclusive interview with Gamers Nexus at Computex, Vince revealed his new secret mission. Now he is working with PNY . Yes, you got it right! Vince was seen working with the new GPU on a test bench at Computex. It seems that he is preparing for the next generation of GPUs. No matter how small the beginning of this new partnership, we know that whatever Kingpin does, it will be big!
The dawn of a new era with PNY
Vince said:
“Right now, I’m testing the software and it’s really nice, a lot like our old PX1 . Trying to figure out everything, software, lighting and fans. Yesterday I got an XOC BIOS for it. PNY is known for their professional cards and regular cards, but the departure of EVGA has left a huge void in the enthusiast market. Other sellers don’t seem too keen to fill it. “
The preparation and wait for the RTX 50 series is over
The first PNY KINGPIN graphics card is expected to launch alongside the RTX 50 series . Kingpin said the new cards could arrive this year, though did not elaborate. One thing is clear, there will be no White Edition, as Kingpin is sticking to its iconic black design.
Eyes on the future, what’s coming?
We’re all eagerly waiting to see how far future GeForce cards can go. This new pairing of Kingpin and PNY will undoubtedly set new milestones in the world of graphics cards. So follow Kingpin on his new journey and see how he breaks the boundaries of future GPUs!
