**Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 Ti Review Thread**

Kingpin is for proper overclockers, they are binned chips unlike the rest. You pay for the binning process for the top chips that pass the binning.

While everyone else pays for the rubbish overclocking chips that weren't good enough to get diverted to the kingpin edition :p

The thing is, that's what the regular Classified is supposed to be too, EVGA basically made a Classified Classified in order to milk it, but now that people know that the will usually be Kingpins coming they will probably skip on the Classified (or just buy something else out of spit for being done over).
 
I've come across a few reviews of people saying the 980 ti is overkill for 1080p?

Surely overkill would be when you can maxed every single setting out, full AA, full bubble and get a constant 144fps?

FYI I game on a 1440p.

I game at 1080p as I do 90% of my gaming on a 50" plasma and the rest on a monitor. It's not really overkill. I've got a bunch of games I have to crank down a few settings to play at a smooth 60fps. Which just isn't what I like doing. I'm in PC gaming to get the absolute best graphical fidelity I can. £600 for a top end card? Over kill? Yes. But so is paying £200 on a pair of shoes with studs and shiny parts to kick a football around. I don't get that. But to some, that's just the best money can buy and it's worth it as it's their hobby.

Don't worry about the nay sayers with all this 'overkill'. It's a hobby, build the best you can and enjoy cranking every setting up to max in games for another couple of years. My 780 has finally stopped being able to do that but it's done me damn fine in it's time.

Exactly the same as me, I game on PC to get the absolute best. I want a rock solid 60fps with Ultra and I don't want to compromise on anything.

My SLI 670s are struggling with Far Cry 4 and I want to be set for Batman, Fallout 4 and anything else in the next 2 years where if I do start to run into trouble I'll simply buy another 980Ti to SLI.
 
You'd think they would start using the hybrid cooler or a special version of it for the kingpin card because let's be honest most people are going to get higher stable overclocks with the Hybrid and won't need to be running fans at 100% either.

Hmmmm....if there was a Kingpin Hybrid edition...that would be tempting...

Boom, exactly :D

Also, still nothing arrived at OcUK, if nothing by 1pm I'm going to cancel order and buy from somewhere else to guarantee delivery for the weekend. Tis a shame but I don't want to waste my last week of free time waiting for it as I'm back at work at the end of next week.
