Overclocker Blames NVIDIA Connector Mandate for Delaying EVGA's Final Flagship GPU

Vince 'KINGPIN' Lucido revealed in his first video for the new Overclocking Kingpin YouTube channel that a dispute with NVIDIA over power connectors delayed the production of the EVGA RTX 3090 Ti KINGPIN. Lucido wanted dual 12VHPWR connectors for the high-end card, but NVIDIA insisted on a single connector, which he claims severely disrupted the timeline and limited production volume. The card eventually launched three months after the standard RTX 3090 Ti with dual connectors for $2,500, bundled with a 1600W power supply. This was the last flagship GPU to carry the KINGPIN name before EVGA exited the graphics card market in 2022. Lucido is now collaborating with ASUS, though no new KINGPIN-branded card has been confirmed.

Next-Gen 12V-2x6 Connector: Improved Safety and Design Replaces 12VHPWR

PCI-SIG has revealed the design for the 12V-2x6 PCIe 6.0 connector, which will replace the 12VHPWR connector and offer the same 600W power delivery while addressing the issue of melting plugs. The new connector will be compatible with existing form factor specifications and will allocate additional power through the PCIe slot. The specifications are not yet finalized, but the new connector is expected to be implemented in next-gen graphics cards arriving in 2025.
