EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Kingpin Edition Video Card Announced
The EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Kingpin Edition is on display over at Computex 2017 and thanks to EVGA’s product manager Jacob Freeman we have picture of the card and some overclocking results from the show. The dual-slot card was designed from the ground up to offer the get the best overclocking potential out of each and every NVIDIA Pascal GPU that gets the nod to be soldered down to this card. EVGA and Vince ‘Kingpin’ Lucido used a GPU cooler with three fans and iCX technology to keep this air cooled card running within spec and we were told that each card should have a minimum boost clock of 2025MHz. This card was designed to push Pascal to the brink with no thermal and voltage limits.
EVGA was showing EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Kingpin Edition card running overclocked at 2100MHz core clock and 12000MHZ (effective) GDDR5X clock during Computex 2017! On air cooling Vince ‘Kingpin’ Lucido says that they are already seeing 2150MHz and beyond with a good card and cool room temperatures.
To power the EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Kingpin Edition graphics card you’ll need feed power into the two 8-pin PCIe power connectors located at the end of the card. There are three BIOS versions that come on the card with a normal, OC and LN2 modes that you can pick from.
Along the top edge of the card and even on the backplate, you’ll find LED lighting.
If you pull off the GPU cooler you’ll even see Kingpin branding on the cards black PCB.
No pricing on this bad boy, but we were told that it will be available to purchase in July 2017.
