The appreciation he has for you and what you have done in regards to his/their products is genuinely heartwarming. EVGA has always been #1 for me when it came to quality of product, and their dedication to get the most out of their GPU’s and Motherboards was always so admirable. I hope that Kingpin is happy wherever he ends up, and with whatever he ends up doing. Such an awesome dude, and an absolute legend!

Not only the quality of the product themselves but also the quality of the service that came with it. Really sad to see them go (potentially forever from all markets), but I really respect their decision to move away from Nvidia. Wish they had gone AMD (don't think them going intel would have helped them nearly as much but would have done a lot for intel arc sales).

No matter how many of these EVGA farewell vids you end up doing I will always enjoy watching them. EVGA was a truly special and unique company and I'm very sad to see them leave so many markets

What a nice gesture, it shows true respect for Jay's enthuisasim.

Kingpin will NEVER die. So many great ideas and such great innovations came from him and the people he worked with we all know he will continue to design and make the best whatever he makes, I'm surely hoping to get at least one more video card from him. Thanks Jay for always showing how amazing all of these cards were and are.

Really got to love the dedication and enthusiasm that Vince pours into the engineering. Its all function over form to the point where the end product has an aesthetic that beats out anything only trying to look visually appealing and high performance. The all copper cooler there's a prime example, hard to find anything to nitpick or consider modifying for better performance, its so pretty!

Thanks Vince! Looks like your gift has found an awesome home. And Thank You, Jay for sharing this with us. Kinda makes me sad, yet happy at the same time. Kind of bitter sweet.

Kingpin always seems like a cool dude. Whatever, and where ever he ends up, best wishes to him. Miss EVGA, in a world where companies will do scummy shit on the regular, EVGA always tried to do right by us.

I’ve been watching your stuff since you started, Jay. There is something about your videos that keep me coming back. You’re to the point, hold no bars, and you’re still kind about it all. Keep doing what you do, Jay!

So sweet of Kingpin. Some tremendous good design, and effort went into all of that. Shame that I never had the opportunity to use one.

It’s crazy that when I was a kid growing up in China and Kingpin was known for his overclocking even to us. What a legend, never done overlock after I graduated from crappy AMD to locked Intel but salute to Vince and EVGA for pushing the limits.

This was definitely one of the best tribute packages I have seen. Congrats on the new grabs and the thermal paste. Keep up the good work.

I would love to see could do for someone like Intel. We can already tell that their cards have so much potential simply with software tweaks and if Vince started lending them his expertise on the hardware side then they could potentially make some rippin strong cards

What a very cool gift Jay! You can just see Vince’s passion when he does a piece with you or Steve, etc.

That's really cool of Kingpin to do for you. Also, you're not a "walmart greeter", you're better than that. More like an intro to mid level professor (what you show at least, personal opinion is I think you're holding back) and don't mean that in a demeaning way. Your videos are enjoyable to watch and the enthusiasm from a hobbiest perspective shines through. When you want to be more serious about topics, it does show and think you downplay yourself a bit. You and your team are definitely capable of upping your video/information game. The way you try to break down information and not treat people like they're idiotic go a long way when teaching. You're all good people regardless any silliness that may occur and are willing to admit to any mistakes that may happen, which is fantastic. Keep doing what y'all do so we can have more people enjoying doing what we do. We gotta support each other (even with constructive criticism as much it can hurt at times) to build ourselves up as a community.

Damn man, that is pure friendship and respect. I will miss EVGA and Kingpin. Always going to treasure my 3080ti Hydro Copper. Not a kingpin, but a card from a company I love and has never let me down.

Too Cool Jay. Im and EVGA Fanboi myself, have followed Vince since the early days and see this as quite an honor and will be a great addition to your KingPin wall :)

That is a sign of deep respect and as we all know respect is earnt and Jay has certainly earnt it as have EVGA, I remember when Jay built a system for a new KZreadr who was done over by scumbags just as they were getting somewhere in followings and when Jay decided to do a presentation build to help them out EVGA without hesitation stepped up to the plate and helped out with some awesome hardware donations for the cause. That from both Jay and EVGA and no doubt KP himself is a true sign of decent caring people who deseerve all the respect and help they may ever need from loyal fans who are loyal because they recognise how to reward good decent people with ethics and honor. RIP EVGA Components we will miss them in the future but always cherish the memories of greatness they gifted us.

Very cool! I almost got a Kingpin card when I did my first personal build (980ti era). Did get an EVGA 1000w plat supernova power supply (overkill for my system but EVGA is the best). It is quite sad that EVGA and Kingpin won't be making any more GPUs.

i love jays unit of hurt measurement of a product based on if they can kill them wit it or not. add that to another unit of measurement. from now on we need that added to the results graphs cuz you know science

It's cool to see you and Vince bond (for lack of a better term) over the loss of one of the most important companies in consumer graphics. I hope the teams at EVGA that were on graphics and motherboards find themselves in positions they're happy in

kingping has always been awesome, i remember being in middle school visiting xs forum and hardforum seeing him post and be so helpful.

Well deserved, the amount of respect and dedication shows in the past videos, you for sure are the #1 fanboy and deserve it every time

Very cool. I have always been jealous of the kingpin collection you have. I would like to start collecting them at some point, but I think it's going to get really hard to do with time. I am a huge EVGA fan and not just a kingpin fan a lone and I cannot tell in words how sad I am that they stopped making graphics cards. I was clinging on to the fact that we might be able to get motherboards from them still but from what I am hearing that is going to be no more as well.

Thanks for sharing. My boys enjoyed seeing what a PCB for a GPU looks like before all of the components are attached.

Oh that 3090 TI with the 360 rad... that is a gorgeous animal there.

EVGA was always my go to for video cards. I'm so sad that they stopped making them. I've had two EVGA motherboards and probably a dozen video cards over the years.

Thank you for passion you're sharing with us

What a beautiful gift, KingPin clearly saw your love for the cards and their design. I agree with others, you're the best person to give these to.

This is one of my favourite vids. The kids & I run 3 evga gpus & 2 psus between us. Big fan of what the company does & how they do it.

For archival purposes you could clear coat them to stop them from tarnishing over time, love the video and glass you have more of that history in your shop

love the content jay keep it up

So envious. Beautiful cards. Way out of my league. Love the idea of the display wall.

That's just really cool! So nice of Vince to send these over!

I appreciate all the work KingPin put into his products. I quite enjoyed all the videos I've watched of him. I'm not spending the money to do super cooled overclocking, but I like looking you guys doing it. I love EVGA and KingPin products, and am very sad the GPU and Motherboard sides have ending. EVGA is a great company.

I love all these EVGA tribute vignettes. Makes me realize how cool my EVGA 1080Ti is.

Thats so fricken cool. Usually whenever I watch streamers getting free stuff from companies I'm always like, oh lucky you got free crap. But with Jay I genuinely feel like I'm unboxing someone's present for Christmas and happy that they are getting what they are getting

I'm an EVGA fan boy also Jay! Great stuff, I'm sad to see a lot of their stuff not be made anymore. 😢

So nostalgic, this is exactly why I grabbed an EVGA 3090 ti. Not nearly as special as the kingpin stuff but I’m glad to have my little piece of history :)

I'm still using my EVGA 1080ti that I got used back in 2019. I'm building a new pc soon so I guess I'll have a nice souvenir.

Those black PCBs with gold traces and stuff looks so beautiful.

Hi guys. In a previous life I worked as a PCB designer, back in the eighties. Seeing those Kingpin GPU boards was awesome 😊🙏

WOW! that 1080ti looks so good! havent seen a card like that before! this is basically giving me even more of a reason to get into pc hardware engineering!! :)

I can relate missing evga Jay . they always had the best products when it came to price and performance/ quality and reliability. i have the EVGA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti [ K,NGP,N ] Hybrid Gaming in my system , as well as for power supplie the evga 1600 watt G+ supernova psu they never let me down in the past . EVGA really was a companny you can trust on and its sad to see them go but they earned as a passionated pc builder allso my everlasting respect . Aswell as you Jay , its becouse of you and your passion I became a pc builder . so keep up the good work we love you bro !

Thanks for showing this to us! ❤

Any (or both) of them deserve a cool place to stand. Maybe in your display wall, maybe adjusted in the tribute build a build, just to display it in some kind of window or framework... I don't know, but that sample of gratitude shows the mutual respect you guys have. Oh and i'd kill for one of those paste tubes 😅

vince was such a badass. and yes, as a builder who started in 1998, it does hurt seeing a fantastic manufacturer pull out of the industry. but i can't blame em. i just hope vince finds another team to go crazy with! i would rearrange your board and put those two PCBs right in the middle, maybe even with a couple of small spotlights on them to highlight them. so friggin cool!

Always a pleasure to watch your videos. Funny how your brain goes sideways so easily, I love it. Keep up the good work. P.S. May not sound like it, but it's a compliment,

This is just an amazing "Thank you" from KP and EVGA

I'm jealous! I wish I got the 3090Ti when I had the chance but didn't think I would've needed it already having the 3090 version. Really loved his designs for GPUs.

it hurts watching videos like this i miss EVGA/Kingpin everyday i build PCs i miss using EVGA parts sad day glad you have all this special stuff from Vince would love to be able to see it one day

Definitely hoping kingpin and Evga the best, and hope to see new products in the future. I would have gotten a 4090 if Evga built them. Currently using an Evga 3080 ftw3 ultra. Would also love to see those guys work on some amd cards!

Awesome, like that you nerd out over those pcb's. And give some cool and nice information. You deserve them. Maybe Kingpin can work with Intel arc, that would be fun to see :)

This was possibly the most heartbreaking and coolest video I've seen a while. GG imo.

When I did my first ever build back in 2013 (and with 100% my own money - no parental help), It was a proud moment when I picked up my EVGA GTX 770. It was reliable, quiet and all round made me appreciate EVGA. Actually gutted that they're abandoning the market now. They have that sentimental spot in my PC building life.

Man, those boards are definite collector items. Love it!

Now that was awesome!! Going to miss EVGA Kingpin combo.

Jay, if getting one of 3 boards in the world that MANY folks in the industry would love to have for you collection does not validate your friendship and his appreciation, nothing else could buddy.

Some super cool stuff, a bit jealous because it's always fun to see these pre production things in real life... But they are going to the right person, you deserve them for sure. One part of me would think it would be super cool if he went to an SI that worked with Intel Arc cards, would be kind of interesting to see what can be done with them since it's not really something at least I've seen yet.

man those are amazing to have. EVGA leaving is whats put me and full stop on upgrading because I've only trusted and used EVGA cards... I just don't know what to get now

You deserve it Jay, congrats!

*Woah, that gpu with the copper heatsink is beautiful* ▶️

The only EVGA product line that ever got negative reviews in the past seemed to be the DG cases. Still it would be great to see a full EVGA build inside one of those or combining the best with the best using evga motherboard, graphics card and power supply inside a DerBauer Lian Li case with a JayzTwoCents waterblock assembly

I went 3090 ti hunting after the Cryptop Crash and went out of my way to get an EVGA card because of them leaving the Graphics Card Market and me having had so many of their cards over the years. I still have fond memories of my 1080ti SLI Setup.

Since they are apparently working on a support for the Raptor Lake refresh on z690/z790 mobos I hope they give final love to X570 owners too.

EVT stands for Engineering Validation Testing. It’s usually the first phase in the development phase of hardware development, VERY early stage boards.

I miss full copper, my first PC was the only one to have a full copper CPU heatsink, a thermalright XP90C. After that was the first thermalpipe direct touch(aluminum spacing each pipe, and aluminum fins) by some off unusual brand before that set off that whole trend.

I wonder how difficult it would be for EVGA to become a standalone gpu manufacturer/seller (basically a 4th competitor in the market). Would be crazy if they one day show up at computex with their own gpu's.

That is absolutely baller! If great having friends like that.
