Kingpin 980Ti confirmed
Hope not, it will be a bit of a waste of time and money !!!
If it does not use the full fat GM200 chip it will pay second fiddle to the TX yet cost about the same.

All these custom coolers I find quite amusing as in terms of extra performance over the reference one as they offer very little.
What I mean by this is if you use the ref TX cooler the card will run at about 80c. If you replace the ref cooler with a proper waterblock the card will run at about 40c yet the performance increase over using air is very small.
The point I am making is a proper waterblock is a lot better than any AIB partner cooler yet it does not produce a big jump in performance.
There are other advantage to using a waterblock like they are very quiet and you can use a custom bios and higher volts but that is another story.

Bugger it,going to pull the trigger on the OCUK Titan x first thing monday morning. I know the Ti is due but its not like it will be faster even if its a touch slower.
You should buy GPUs of Colorful then instead of the likes of ASUS, and EVGA.

:eek:
What type of weight would all that crap add to the card? Be surprised if you didn't have to hire a crane to install it.
Seems to take about 5 slots if you include the mad heatsinks on the back end of it.

Holy heifer!
That's a...tad overkill, even for me!
I like the MSI kind of heatpipe exposure.
Im with you, will get rid of my 980 and get a titan x
I'd wait for the ti, you're saving a couple of hundred quid at least for a week or so more wait.

how many slots? three to the left and on the right surely it will hit your ddr

You'd have to put it in the slot nearest the bottom of the case for sure. I'm just wondering if this was something they actually sold or something the company owner wanted made minutes after snorting crack off a hookers ass.

All that for a 660 ti.
And this is a passively cooled 680, only needs a card sized heatsink strapped to the back of it.

Im not saving anything at all bud. I expect it to be within 5% and Im still willing to buy the titan. The titans price wont drop so I will still be buying it only a week later

Plus theres the extra vram for when I add a second in the future
I know Colorful are up and coming in China but god they need a new design team
You keep saying this, so you must have some better Google-fu than me. As far as I can see it briefly dropped to €989 but now everywhere that has stock is €1049+
At those prices it is not worth the risk/hassle buying from outside the UK.

Good sentiments.
Even if you have the money, new high end graphic cards are becoming ridiculously expensive. 5 years ago, less than 300 quid would have bought you a HD 5870, which murdered every other single GPU on the market. These days we seem to be starting at 600 for any high end GPU with 'premium' GPUs approaching closer to the 1000 GBP mark.
Utterly ridiculous money to be spending to play a few video games and since the latest generation of consoles started off their life on backward tech, there really isn't a great need to be getting the very best GPUs around if you are just gaming on 1080p. This is probably why 'they' are busy trying to convince us that 1080p60 just isn't good enough anymore. Some insist that anything less than 120 fps on 144hz monitors gives them headaches, some tell that once you see 4K, you can never possibly go back.....
...as someone who has ruined once uncannily good eyesight in his youth by playing at 800*600 @ 60Hz on crt monitors at 20-45 fps for hours on end (this was normal back in the pre PS3/360 era of PC gaming before devs really started to optimise titles), a smooth solid 1080p60 with high eye candy is as good a standard as is necessary. Better than good. It is gold and anything beyond that is just 'the rat race' as far as I am concerned.
