He seems strangely limited in his parole and incredibly edited compared to how he was on gamers nexus's channel.

Get ready to not purchase overpriced gpu from tax which asus includes and now kingpin name xD.

Disaster incoming. Not the hardware, but pricing.

Kingpin tweaked hardware just wouldn't be the same under Asus, they'd have to fix their QA and have more consumer friendly warranty policies first.

Will it be another useless tag like ROG, TUF, STRIX, Proart?

ASUS tries to be the wannabe high price seller like corsair. The kingpin tag will fit that strategy. I doubt the quality will deliver.

We need more enthusiasts who bring people away from other dangerous sports or activities. I wonder if the lack of money was also a motivation.

_roman_Proart?

Proart is actually different but the other 3 is just tax.

With ASUS not longer being the ASUS from over a decade ago and still charging premium prices i don't see this becoming a success.

Hope it to be more than just overpriced set of well package OC PR features, the kind that will stand for the good kingpin brand.
But knowing the PC industry indifference to gamers as well as Asus indifference to gamers, I say that the corruption of his brand is more plausible.

Those are all still better than MSI lol.. except maybe TUF. You had a Prime, garbage. Like TUF.

Asus has always been expensive, and Corsair has always been trash, big difference.

wtf?

Every brand makes good and garbage boards, Strix, ROG or whatever are just names to add onto the Asus tax.
I doubt Kingpin on the naming scheme is going to be top quality with real copper heatsinks like EVGA was.

Does not change the fact that my second ASUS Proart PA278QV with different firmware also shows issues. Feel free to read my posts about Radeon 9070x posts i made on the asus graphic cards, etc. with the asus monitor which did not show a screen. no power on self test.

MSI has issues, 100% agree. Is ASUS better as MSI. hmm. lol. MSI sold me also trash, aka MSI RAdeon 6800 z trio with always on logo or RGB bar and aeroplane like jet engine loudness graphic card fans.

** Note ** I am certain I stick this time on topic about ASUS. I really wonder if ASUS can deliver quality. That is a serious question.

I am not fond of any motherboard makers. Maybe, Colourful, they have very nice cat style motherboards. Any other brand have something I could argue about. Biostar is not existant. And those prebuild from lenovo, hp, etc are not even worth talking about anymore. I really wish i could claim buy Fish, because they make the best motherboards. I can not as of now.

Still the ASUS Prime x670-p motherboard did not share as many lanes, etc. nonsesne what other motherboards do. Even with dell grade build quality.

edit: I still remember a post where a ASUS hero motherboard destroyed a AMD AM5 x3d cpu recently. Just saying, ASUS and quality.

In the current market, I restrict it to central europe. Even when kingpin would make a decent ASUS gpu, it is most likely nvidia only, and these cards, most of them got very expensive in recent weeks. Especially when you compare it with the lowest price available in the past for certain nvidia 5000 gpus.

I really wish AMD and/or Sapphire was able to convince him to work miracles on their GPUs. They desperately need someone like him who could push the limits and offer some constructive feedback, the way he used to while working for EVGA.

Good old days, they'll never come back.

Actually some of Proart products are very reasonable for the price(I remember some board under ProArt line is the cheapest way to get onboard 10Gbps NIC and displays under this line are excellent value for money for those in editing space).

... Asus already invested in its BTF dual-power-input-system.

BTF = 1000 watt (1900 short term)
+ 12VHPWR = 600 watt
=1600+ watt

I could not find an answer to that but i think a few thousand GPU have it at best?
With Vincent they have found a better way to market it.

Good luck!
Can't wait to see what else NVIDIA will allow to change on the hardware side, if he asks in Asus name :D
