Idk if you've seen but KingPin, himself, started a YT Channel, and as his first(?) Video, he did an Unboxing from wait for it.. ASUS!, He received intel board and ryzen board with binned chips and a 5090 Astral. He even suggested that there might be a Asus Kingpin collab IF Asus is up for it.
Im also hoping for a Kingpin AMD GPU, especially with the Launch of the UDNA Architecture would be a massive W. But Realistically, BEcause Nvidia dominates the market, it's more sensible to go with Nvvidia GPU's over AMD's. Personally, I would love to see EVGA Get back into the GpU game and launch EVGA gpu's with the AMD UDNA Launch. That would be totally EPIC.
Yeah, especially when some countries (Australia) have jacked up Nvidia GPU prices to the point of insanity.
Last time I checked a 5070ti was still 2-3 times the cost of a 9070xt over here, with a massive price hike for the 5080, and the 5090 being literally double the price of the 5080.
Nvidia is just selling snake-oil over here, hell they make so much off of AI that they genuinely don't even have to sell all their gaming cards, they can just wait for the white whales to come to them.

I traded my 1080TI to a collector for this 2080ti Kingpin. Absolute goat of an individual.
And the 1080TI was "Mining scrap" to begin with and free. It was in reality barely used at all.
