Hi what are these cards like?
In case the TitanX is too expensive, worth getting?

Geeman1979 · 16 Mar 2015 at 19:40

Rapid....

The ACX cooler is very good but..... Those are not the cards you are looking for!

Geeman1979 · 16 Mar 2015 at 19:44

The Classified breed are more than just a cooler

They releasing the 390x tomorrow?

These cards would sell better if they weren't just geared toward 'DICErs'.

IE if they had something useful to Joe Public.

I was so close to buying two 780ti Kingpins but the VRAM was a sod. Ended up with Titans.

I have no idea, i think he's made up something again...it's something he does, so witty.
Who uses dry ice on a GPU anyway? Phase or LN2.

Got one last week. It's fine, very quiet.

One issue. It doesn't wake my monitor from sleep (DisplayPort, 4k@60Hz).

EVGA sent me an updated ROM but the update tool doesn't work !

Could be chatting about those who like furry dice.

Unless you are planning liquid / phase change / LN2 cooling... I don't think the classified is worth the extra premium over the superclocked

Yup liquid cooling will be involved if today's annoucment is bad!
The EK blocks for this cards are quite expensive at around £135 and £35 for the back plate
