KINGPIN Says Connector Dispute With NVIDIA Derailed EVGA's Last Flagship Card

Vince "KINGPIN" Lucido said he wanted two 12VHPWR connectors on the EVGA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti KINGPIN, while NVIDIA insisted on just one. The dispute delayed production, and the card eventually shipped for $2,500 with a bundled 1600 W power supply about three months after the RTX 3090 Ti. Lucido is now working with ASUS.
