I love how it says it could end up being one of the fastest cards ever, when it's a 3090. Like what do you expect to be faster. It's such a redundant statement. My 2 kingpin cards put me at 16th in the world in Port Royal without even changing the cooler.
It's about getting that little bit of extra frequency without being power limited. With binned GPUs and no power limits the 2080 Ti kingpins can generally pull 2205 MHz without exotic cooling while all of the others are barely scraping 2130. Does it make a noticable difference in gaming? Absolutely not. Does it get you to the top of the 3dmark HoF? Yup. All without having to buy a stack of GPUs, binning them yourself, and power modding them to get past the power limits.
