Greeting. 8-pack, from across the pond. I am posting here to hopefully get info that would help out a bunch of overclockers over on Overclock.net
With Nvidia essentially having clock blocked the 780Ti Classified, and initial indications on the Kingpin edition not proving to be any better on the voltage control side, I am considering the 290x Lightining over the Kingpin. I believe you recently got your hands on one of them and I do not know anyone else who could help me out here.
Can you tell me the dimensions of the PCB? I know EK has plans to make a waterblock for it, so I wanted to get an estimate of the length n breadth of this monster to confirm compatibility with various cases.
I realize you probably can't tell much before any NDA is up, but any other bit of info you can spare would be much appreciated. Essentially we want to know if it is worth getting the Kingpin on Day 1 or just wait for these. Based on the reference cards, it does seem the 780Ti has more overclock room at the same voltage as a 290x but that voltage OCP at 1.4V has annoyed a buncha us guys with the "regular" classified.
Do you also have a cope of the Kingpin? If so, can you tell us what is different on the back that makes the regular classified backplates (Be it from EK or EVGA) incompatible? Cheers mate!
