this is what I'm gonna use to destroy Steve this doesn't okay here we are guys our very first video of CES 2019 of course we were kicking things off here EVGA because they've got a new graphics card one we've been waiting for for a while and that is of course at the 28th ETI kingpin before we talk about that I need to thank our sponsor is that being corsair and the new corsair one HPD desktop so go and check them out in the link below again a huge thank you to Corsair for sponsoring our trip this year now this is the kingpin 28 dpi card we've been waiting for for a while the Turing architecture is kind of plagued with power delivering power limits I don't want some issues but very low overhead what that means is although the core is great at overclocking the power delivery system of it really holds it back where even if you have temperatures kept down into the 50s on water you could still see power limit becoming what's holding you back if you haven't seen our coverage on that go and check it out well kingpin being of course kingpin has removed all of those limits virtually all of those limits with his custom card now this is like the fifth kingpin card I believe it is this has a 520 watt TDP no to tell you what that means when we had our two XT ultras which had a custom BIOS on there which would allow us to go to a hundred and fifty-three percent power draw on top of the founders vrm design we were seeing roughly three hundred and forty ish watts so this is capable of nearly 200 more watts of power draw than what we were seeing when we already had broken the world record when we had that attempt so if you were to take something like this and hook it up to exotic cooling like say ln2 or dry ice then you would definitely be able to see maybe a chip limitation long before power limit which is what was really holding back that competition between Steve and I obviously the intro is a little bit of a joke we know that Steve is gonna probably get the same cards but that's the fun of it because then it becomes to who's the better overclock or who's willing to take more risks and who won the lottery draw but when it comes to the lottery draw these are binned chips as you would expect these are the best of the best these are the chips that were set aside to go into their fastest most limited production card now there's a few things that we don't have information on yet we don't know what the price is going to be this is still early during sample there's gonna be some minor tweaks coming out we don't know what some of the final renditions of this is gonna be in fact I asked him if I could overclock it right now cuz it's running stock out of the box and they were like unfortunately it's not ready like the BIOS and stuff it needs some more tweaks but in terms of features it's got some pretty interesting stuff this is the first water-cooled kingpin card normally we would see these massive copper heatsink designs which were designed to a3 fan design or to fan back like the 1980s and the 90s GI it was one of those things where it's kind of like you take the world's best overclocking card and then put air cooling on it and it's like that kind of defeats the purpose so at least this time they went with a 120 millimeter AIO now I asked them if this AIO being a 120 mil was gonna hold back the card in any way because you know it's an overclocking card and they said they found that going with a bigger rad like a 240 didn't really help things very much now it's pretty warm but they also wanted max compatibility with more cases and because a lot of people are running a iOS and they're gonna be putting them in the top or the front of their cases and 120 has more compatibility with going in that rear exhaust fan setup but as you can see with the OLED right here this is gonna tie in with their XOC software and with the OLED display you can show any bit of information you want now currently this card is bouncing between 1920 and 1830 out of the soft settings or out of the box settings nothing's been touched and it's sitting at what's the temperature here that's cycling through but I think it was sitting at 58 C or 54 C 56c and it's been running battlefield 5 now for hours this has been on all day running battle of 5 you can come here and experience it of course RTX is on 1440p panel all settings max and it's sitting at 56 C with the fan on a very conservative curve okay so you guys have probably heard by now that Nvidia is launched its mid-range card the r-tx 2060 another controversial card that people either love or hate but love it or hate it it's here that's next-gen and that's what we've got to talk about so we've got three new cards from EVGA covering the 2060 spectrum the $349 price point and kind of up from there so this is the 2060 SC this is not a reference PCB but it is a their 200 for tour 300 349 would be nice you guys quote me on that they're gonna charge you 249 for this okay just kidding please don't quote me $349 price point this is the RTX 2060s see it's a four plus two power design we've got the XC we're very similar and sound very much alike on camera SC and XC which is basically the same thing as the SC but it's got a little different bios higher boost clock higher base clock give you a little bit more performance the same PCB same power phase delivery and all of that this over here the XC ultra is a two slot if you guys can't tell these are shorter PCBs but three slot this is a longer card it is a two slot six plus two power delivery and other than that it's a all custom PCB so none of these are really based on the founders edition PCB but they are designed for overclocking and give you a little bit extra Headroom trying to give you some more value now I don't have concrete pricing on this yet but it sounds like they are really trying to hit that $349 price point and these kind of step up incrementally this one here was said to be something like 389 or somewhere around there so I think you guys can obviously expect to see 2060s between 350 and 400 dollars depending on how premium the card is so anyway guys that has been what EVGA is shown here with some new cards obviously the twenty atti kingpin this is important I guess that we're gonna beat Steve with this and this one's actually mine so thanks for watching guys and you will see you will see you in the next one nobody sees me leaving so this is perfect I can't get back in
