what's up guys Jase two cents here and I took a break from building my new studio to take a look at something I'm excited to unbox and play with something I've been waiting for for a long time that just very well might be the most overkill graphics card on the planet today's video is sponsored by drop calm and the mast drop Plus Universal IEMs the first earbuds tuned by drop with the three armature drivers and two-way configuration - vented drivers and multi bore sound channels per ear the master out + Universal IEMs deliver extended bass and clarity to see all the specs and to learn more click the link in the description below so one of the things that this company is known for and they're shipping is they're packing peanuts if you've been following me long enough you know why that is oh they use air pack now EVGA no longer uses the edible cornstarch packing peanuts check this out look at the size of this box holy crap so this is the twenty atti kingpin full retail card I thought they're gonna be sending me like some sort of engineering deal in like a brown box that out to give me an idea I thought there are other packaging what's crazy yeah your girth versus the girth of the guy she tells you not to worry about so I'm really excited about this because if you guys aren't aware I actually have a bit of a kingpin card collection going this was my previous kingpin this is the 980ti but the reason why I'm bringing these out is I kind of want to see how the aesthetics over time has sort of changed I'm gonna guide keep it to fan boy you're right man I've I've spent so much money at EVGA over the years that I deserve this oh my god so much I'm it's a water-cooled card okay well that's that would make sense if they were right because one of the problems to be honest with the kingpin card it's not all cupcakes and sprinkles is in an air-cooled fashion like these you don't get anywhere close to the capability of the card and that's because the card is truly Bend EVGA takes the best chips and puts them on the EVGA card or the of course are on the EVGA card the kingpin card and then you've got to do things like evbot and manual overclocking and overall and all that sort of stuff to get its true potential in fact I think Steve you know gamers next to Steve recently did a livestream where he hit something like 26 hundred megahertz on ln2 and that's what the card is truly designed for it is designed for ln2 overclocking but at least with the watercooler just like the one we took a look at CES so it's very similar that wasn't a final version so I'm not sure exactly what's different cuz I don't have them side-by-side but at least on water we're gonna get more out of it but just like we saw at CES it's got the OLED display on the side right here which is going to show us real live temperature readout wattage all that sort of stuff and then we've got connector panels back here so if you're doing manual overclocking ln2 and stuff you can hook your probes right up to the harness that comes off here and you get a live Hardware reading of voltage and stuff you'll have to count on software which is not the most accurate on the back the usual suspects we've got a fan header 3/8 pin power connectors we've also got evbot connector right there and I think that's a USBC mostly microUSB that's before I should probably RTFM I'm kind of glad to see that they got away from the air cooler although that would be a more Universal drop-in solution these air cooled cards man they're just not being shown justice although the cooler is good it would make them fall kind of just in the same category as any other custom air-cooled card until you really start pushing it so that you can see the the bend chips in effect what I wanted to show here before I hook it up is at least kingpin gave us back a full sized display port where the other cards always had mini DisplayPort like you see right here and then they would give you an adapter to adapt it from mini DisplayPort to a standard sized DisplayPort and asked him once why they did that and they said it's because if you take the cooler off and you do the the pot and all that you could go single bracket or single card slot the card also does have active cooling on the VRMs because the problem is if you start going ln2 and stuff and you take this off you lose active cooling over the VRMs we're at least here they have a heatsink separate on the back and a fan to keep things nice and cool so with all that out of the way hook it up in the test bench and see how much we can get out of this thing without going any sort of exotic cooling it is a triple bios cards you've got a normal bios which is a green light you've got an OC bios which is an orange light and ln2 bios which is a red light now you're still gonna have some locked functionality even with these bio set far we can get this seem to go on just water I am on the LNT by us though because I want to see how far we can push this on water and hopefully not damage it I want to do a baseline run here first we use 3d mark for this I want to see what our stock score is and then what our max overclocked score is so if you download the latest beta precision you can then get control over that display which we're having some fun with as you can see JS 2 cents is the best ever which is what it's saying on there and it never deviates because it's the absolute truth and all of the truths that I've ever truth the truth in world but you have a couple of different things you can do here you can even put in a picture and apply so now that creepiness is out of the way let's go let's go ahead and what's my cpu running at let's go ahead and perform our 5 gigs all right it's going to perform our time spy we'll just do regular time spy scores and see what we get so our graphics score is a fifteen thousand seven seven six which is a single GPU in time spying non-extreme the core clock started out at a twenty seventy all in its own member this is factory temperature curve factory well the fan curve isn't but the factory power limit all that stuff we didn't touch anything as you can see right here it's all still set to default and so started out at a twenty seventy dropped to a twenty fifty five and then looks like twenty fifty five is where it's sort of stayed memory is not overclocked it's still sitting at seven thousand so it looks like we still hit though approximately forty three see that is our baseline so we need to see how much higher we get in a 15-7 seven six when we overclock I have a feeling we're not gonna gain much the chips until they get cooled and buy cooled I mean chilled water some sort of a chiller healthier lnto dry ice whatever until you really bring the temperatures of the core down they all kind of land around the same mark so I'm really hoping here for twenty two hundred on this a i/o setup I'm not sure if we'll get it but that's what I'm hoping for so I'm starting here by just maxing out our power limit which is 144 percent forty four percent above a hundred now the hundred from like the r-tx founders edition model that baseline moves up so it's forty four percent of the new baseline or the new what's considered the the 100 percent power limit we're also going to go ahead and prioritize GPU temp and I'm not going to touch the clock at all I'm curious as to if we get a higher clock so I'm gonna test that real quick with Kevin just to see what our new core clocks are alright so by raising the power limit 244 we gain no score whatsoever in fact we went from a 1577 to a 15 749 that's all within margin of error let's try going 100 put us around 2150 radiator still nice and cool and during the test the radiator wasn't feeling like it was getting any sort of thermal soak at all it felt like the same amount of room-temperature air coming through it so that tells me that 240 is more than sufficient to for keeping that die cool all right so we went up to 1648 1 and it looks like it shot up to 20 160 which was technically 90 megahertz because member it was going to 20 70 first and then it dropped down to 20 145 constant but the constant is what's making me happy right there and I've even touched the memory yet to see how far we can go with this so as we're gonna do I'm gonna max this out I'm gonna find where we crash and then I'll tell you guys where that was all right so this is where we kind of landed a gain of about 11 50 or so we went from a 15-7 76 to a 16-9 3 6 that's a pretty hefty game by just moving some sliders obviously nowhere near where card like this is capable of capping out because we don't have the equipment to truly get us as far as we possibly can with this card our max speed here started at 20 190 because it goes in 15 mega hurt increments the next step up was 20 205 which was not stable it would run for a little while and then crash and then if we start at 20 190 it runs for a little bit drops down 115 megahertz tick down to 20 175 and that's perfectly stable all the way across we are running a 1 gigahertz overclock on our memory and we haven't touched anything with voltage just power slider and our our core slider as well as our memory and this is what we got pretty hefty jump but what we're gonna do right now is there is another aspect to this this is not your everyday good card this is not a card designed for the average gamer that wants to plop it in their computer and go because it would not be cost-effective there are plenty of cards that can reach this level with just the air cooling or water cooling like this that do not come with the price premium of the kingpin card because this card is designed for the xoc community the extreme overclockers that want a card that don't require having to solder power delivery custom power delivery to the motherboard that don't want to have to come up with custom solutions for bypassing all of the safeguards that are in place on retail boards that's why kingpin designed these cards is so that you can plug in evbot take full control over it you can remove all of the safeguards through custom bios there's lots of things you can do with this card that just are not going to be and user-friendly for the average consumer myself included I have I've only played with this level of overclocking once under kingpin supervision which is why I'm excited that in July we're gonna be doing another thing with him at EVGA headquarters regarding liquid nitrogen cooling and all of that on this card so I'm extremely excited for that so that's why I kind of want to see where we can get on my own just with this and maybe hooking this radiator up to the air conditioner to bring the temps down to see what happens because what we do know and they give me there's a whole guide on the XOC community talking about I think it's X dev talking about this card and the temperature scale and what happens to the core clock stability as the temperature drops so they give us this really nice chart that kind of shows how temperature correlation with stability goes hand-in-hand so until you can get the temperatures under control you're not going to get the core clock stable at the higher frequencies as you go at the higher frequency you also need more voltage which is why having an unlocked card like this with a custom power delivery system designed exclusively by kingpins team means that this card is designed for that so that's why you're gonna you might watch this and go wow it makes sense it's that's the same speed as he was getting with the founders edition card but well that's because under the same conditions is what we're dealing with here whereas the founders edition card actually it's a much lower power limit so let's just go ahead and say the trio card or the Strix or whatever it's rough same as that but here's we're gonna do now let's let's chill it a little bit here and see what happens oh this is heavy this guy hasn't come out in a while you're gonna come out to play ha ha so it looks like around 14c is where we are dropping condensations under control because we're not far enough below the dew point to get any measurable condensation I give anything it feels slightly moist but there's nothing in the lines and stuff it's not it's not cold enough anytime we do this people freak out well my god you the condensation no that'd be like saying turning on the AC in your room is gonna make the inside of your walls condense and that's not the way it's no question is now can we get 22:05 we we couldn't do this at all before so there's your direct comparison to of what visually that curve looks like of core clock versus temperature because this is 20s see colder than it was with just the ambient air in the fans blowing through the red but now that we're blowing chilled air you can see we're maxing out at 24 C 22:05 no problems without touching voltage yet so what we're gonna do now is we're gonna see where we crash without touching voltage and we'll see a voltage helps at all so that's what we got with just hooking the air conditioner up to it not touching voltage and just give me a s'more stability through temperature because like I said earlier this shows how temperature directly relates to stability before voltage is even involved so we're gonna go ahead and now bring up the voltage tool and we are going to we're gonna see what happens all right so we decided this is probably a pretty good place to stop here one we reached 32 degrees C on our core temp which it's not too hot but as we've already talked about as this temp goes up the core stability goes down we did get it to pass 2200 we had a weird kind of a spot right there which we didn't have any other test so I'm not sure what happened there our score did come up to a 17,000 890 so we got more than 2000 graphics points higher with this overclock a little bit over voltage but also to the card was screaming at me it said +5 volt too high and then all the lights were flashing and everything and I'm like come on baby come on it didn't die and it didn't melt but it definitely was warning me that the 5 volt was too high what interestings we didn't touch five volt on here so I think it's some sort of an algorithm when we moved the core slider and stuff that could be completely normal when you go that far in the overclocks with using the classified software I don't know so I don't want to kill the card yet but it's one of the kind of overclock I said yeah it could happen III at least wanted to play around with some of these features because it's something I never did on any of the previous generations I'm a lot more comfortable now with kind of playing around with these extreme voltages and stuff which we didn't do extreme today will but I've been I've had fun this last year playing around lnto and all that sort of stuff so we're going to probably end up putting a LNT pot on this and seeing how far we can get this to go so anyway that is that nothing else to really talk about except this card shouldn't make any sense to you unless you're an extreme overclocker or you want to play around with those types of features and and money is not really an object and taking the risk of destroying the card and you want to have those features readily available to you without having to do any sort of custom board modding and stuff so anyway if you guys want to learn more about this card you can head over to EVGA calm it's extremely limited I have no idea how many are being made it's probably hard to get your hands on one now as it is and they are really expensive because of the custom one-off nature of this card so guys tell me what you think down below in the comments on how you feel this card performed obviously with the AI you hooked up to the AC it got us above where we could go not by a whole lot though you can see we only went from 2175 perfectly stable to 2205 and then 20 to 20 which is not a lot when we're talking what 30 mega or 50 megahertz at the most by giving it way more voltage and dropping the temps with this but we know this card likes to be around the new minus 150 C on L n 2 so that's where we're gonna see the really big overclock alright guys thanks for watching and as always we'll see you in the next one well me students again ever touch the computer for four days how does computers well I would be like my dad how do you
