Hi there


We are now taking pre-orders on the MIGHTY Kingpin Edition of the 780Ti which is designed primarily for people who do extreme cooling, the board power design and PCB is designed to be cooled by LN2, so to many of you out there, stick with the regular Classy:-


EVGA GeForce GTX 780Ti Dual Classified "KINGPIN Edition" 3072MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card (03G-P4-3888-KR) @ £739.99 inc VAT

**The Worlds Fastest & Most Overclockable GTX 780Ti Graphics Card**

NVIDIA's latest Geforce 780Ti takes the fight right to the competition in the battle for current worlds fastest single GPU. Packing a fully enabled GK110 GPU with a whopping 2880 cuda cores this card has huge amounts of processing power to enable it to power through any game. Infact the 780 Ti is so impressive, it’s not just cheaper than TITAN, it beats it in performance and takes the crown as the Best Gaming GPU on the Planet.

NVIDIA are supporting the overclocking community even further with an advanced three rail PWM with load balancing, whereas older GTX 780 and Titan pulled all their power through three rails, they did not load balance. 780Ti's new PWM means it can source power from three sources and load balance resulting in the same amount of power from each rail, allowing for more superior overclocks and stability. Here at Overclockers UK we tested this and where we found Titans would top out at 1100-1150MHz core, whereas the 780Ti was able to hit 1200-1300Mhz core over and over again, proving this new PWM not only offers efficiency and stability, but also great overclocking ability. When overclocked this cards performance can be increased by upto a further 30%, making it a truly unstoppable force.

For memory once again here at Overclockers UK we are very impressed to see 3GB of RAM and a 384-Bit interface meaning it can power the latest games even at the highest resolutions and detail settings, making this card the perfect choice for any gamer or overclocker.

Now I need to make it clear to you guys a few important point, I've had a chat with EVGA today and they said I could share some information with you guys on the basis you understand its not an official statement from EVGA.

Classified cards are binned by EVGA, so the binning process on the Kingpin is very extreme, to the point this card is not mass production and might have a short lived product cycle.

Does the Kingpin card have a higher bin requirement compared to regular Classified? Yes it does, but for a GPU to get into the Classified card it has to be quite special, hence why sometimes stock can be quite short. The Kingpin is another grade beyond, so much to the point that maybe out of every 100 GPU's EVGA bin, only 20 make it to Classified status and maybe 1 for the Kingpin.

So in short the Classified will still be just as good as it ever was really.

So how does the Kingpin hit such high core speeds? Well in short the PCB/Power design is designed with super-cold cooling in mind and designed to excel in such conditions, so even a weakly binned GPU would still do quite well as the board design when cooled by LN2 excels.

In short Classifieds should still be damn good, KingPin cards won't offer much overclocking headroom improvement unless your using LN2 cooling, of course we shall do some testing of our own.

We are expecting our Classified deliveries to arrive any day now, so I shall be giving 8 Pack an early Christmas present and asking him to abuse one to see what he can get with the stock cooler and LN2.

Then once we get our hands on a KingPin, I shall get him to do the same.

In short Classy should be as good as it ever was, KingPin card is just raising the bar again, but is designed for LN2!
 
3Gb VRAM for such a powerful GPU.... Meh...

Its a card designed for overclocking to the extreme and this is what people seem to be missing.

This is not a gaming card, its a card for extreme overclockers and 3GB of RAM is better for that.

Bu there's still going to be people that run them for gaming and that number of people will far out weigh the number of people that purely use it for benching.

They won't.
Customers buying for Gaming would just buy a Gigabyte Windforce or a GHz WindForce 780Ti or a regular Classified, the fastest out of the box 780Ti's designed with gamers in mind.

The regular Classified is the one to go for if you want quick out the box, the KingPin Edition is for those who overclock and benchmark, not the gamers.
 
So much want but that price! Not sure about the transparent cover though.

These are not designed to be kept stock, tbh im surprised they went to the effort end extra expense of putting a cooler on them at minimum most of these will be put under water the rest will be super chilled, if they dropped 50 quid off the cost and sent these out as bare boards most the people interested in these would be grateful, partly for the cost saving, partly for the reduced hassle of not removing and binning a lump of copper thats not needed

I think there is a rule in place by NVIDIA, AMD also stating that a bare card cannot be shipped to any customer, only an AIB (board partner) can receive bare board or just a GPU by itself.

Plus also by fitting a cooler EVGA can test and ensure the card is 100% working, then if the user breaks the card because they are a noob, EVGA can refuse RMA if its physically damaged.
 
Are the RAM chips also binned/higher grade stock than standard? Unsure if they are on the regular classifieds?
 
Vince tells me Samsung ic on this card. He has done a lot of work on the pwm this is indeed aimed squarly at the bencher for which any more than 3gb is seriously no need. Vince flashed his Titans to 3gb also to help with clocking.
 
So what's the plan with these?
EVGA do a short run of them, let them set a few benchmark records and then release the
EVGA GeForce GTX 780Ti Dual Classified "8Pack Edition" that will beat those records? :)
 
I think 8 Pack should tell us what the maximum obtainable overclocks on air, water and LN2 are. :p
 
I look forward to seeing the benchmarks from 8Pack and others - should be a beast when using LN2 cooling, I seem to remember seeing that KP OC'ed one to 1.9GHz!
