Kind of a useless card for the Pascal generation.

I have to say, I'm underwhelmed by this. I mean, with all the teasers about insane clocks and voltages (albeit on LN2) I was expecting some 2200MHz golden sample binning for this card. I remember the rumors on this forum about this card, everyone was betting on unlocked power and voltage and insane headroom. Guess all of Pascal really is the same and hits a wall around 2150ish

Wow nice design. I love the copper heatsink!
In my experience the EVGA FE version throttles a lot when trying to push above 1911mhz even with fans cranked up.
If the 1080 Ti KPe is anything like the 980 Ti KPe then lower load temps even with stock heatsink would help push clocks quite higher before throttle occurs.
Can't wait to try this card!
Great job as always Kingpin!!!

looks cheap, late and useless & will be overpriced

if you want the best grab a titan Xp and shunt mod it on water

these cards have no meaning unless you run LN2

either grab the cheapest FE reference design and put it on water or go Titan Xp.. that's how I see it nowdays

the last kingpin which was useful was the 780 ti

They showed them benching it last night at 2400mhz. I'm still hoping they've found away around the false ceiling.

Even than Pascal only goes so high. If you have no hardware modding skills and are doing LN2 cooling, it MIGHT be worth the added cost. Otherwise this card isn't going to get much better numbers than a regular 1080Ti and will still not come close to a hardware modded Titan Xp. My personal opinion this card is a silly money grab from EVGA just like the other Kingpin cards. The only Kingpin card that made sense was the 780Ti.

Now IF this card is only $799... maybe. Any higher and it is a waste IMHO.

Well it not a silly money grab if some people (ln2) can use it, however small they might be.

There's 2500Mhz+ benches. False ceiling has been shattered a while ago.

do you have a link? I though pascal was 2200mhz max

If its anything like the 980TI KPE with the copper cooler, it does a MUCH better job of keeping the card cool. They may have had it watercooled too. It also stands to reason that the card isn't loaded.

They should just ship the KP editions without a cooler. You're only going to utilize it under water or better. Or maybe you could take off the fan shroud and slap on some deltas...but still. Also, they're guaranteeing 2025Mhz? Can't nearly all 1080Ti chips hit that with some some MSI AB love? It's a shame they couldn't do anything with the Titan Xp die, though. I'm sure in some restricted room that requires a level 6 security clearance they have one made for the lulz.

Only 2025MHz? Almost all 1080 and 1080 Ti do this with good cooling.

Remember Hydro Copper cards?
