There will be no RTX 5090 KINGPIN GPU – KINGPIN confirms
As part of a new update video on his “All About KINGPIN” YouTube Channel, Vince “KINGPIN” Lucido (the world-class Overclocker) confirmed that there would be no RTX 50 series “KINGPIN” graphics card. If you dreamed of an RTX 5090 “KINGPIN” GPU, consider that dream shattered.
While KINGPIN has been working with PNY, he couldn’t commit to creating an RTX 5090 KINGPIN. This is due to “Contractual Friction” and bad timing for the overclocker. Vince has confirmed that he plans to move back home at some point this year to be closer to his family. Currently, KINGPIN lives in Taiwan, and he has been based there for around 15 years. The time has come for him to return home. That move may present opportunities for KINGPIN to work for “American companies.”
As it stands, KINGPIN has not ruled out the possibility of future KINGPIN-branded graphics cards. He has also stated that in the future, “maybe it won’t be team green.” That means that KINGPIN could create AMD or Intel-branded KINGPIN GPUs in the future. For now, KINGPIN is going to focus on his family, which is a good decision.
