Any OcUK members bought a Kingpin card before?
Looks really cool, though according to Gamers Nexus the heat-sink is copper plated aluminium not copper, but then I suppose that's okay as most buyers will be removing the heat-sink anyway and those who don;t only want the card for bling lol.EVGA announces GeForce GTX 1080 Ti KINGPIN Edition
According to one of the EVGA interviews the card is an entirely custom PCB and basically has one of those power boards LN2 overclockers solder to the card built in, so with their software it should be possible to increase the volts.so assumingly you can increase the volts if you want to overclock then ?

TBH It's almost certainly a bling factor, AFAIK coating a aluminium heatsink in a thin layer of copper actually impedes heat transfer to air (though obviously with fan assisted airflow the overall difference will be unmeasurable).Guess they used copper coated heatsink to keep the weight down as jay says how heavy the thing is already.
^ @ around 48 seconds in - no voltage limits ? really ? I thought all Pascal cards were specifically voltage limited by Nvidia ?

They said that all Kingpins are guaranteed to run at least at 2025 when overclocked but stock clock will be lower.i want to test out the kingpin bios as it has one advantage no temp limits and stock 2025cores
I agree, i dont like it at all.The new kingpin cooler looks worse then the FTW3
980Ti (which is the only other model afaik, so not much to guess at).
Yep, Using cinema DOF and I think BF2 does increase vibrancy.
@Rossuk89 I'd go for the EVGA card. Transferable warranty and you can boost it to five years for around £20. Water cooling friendly too.
