I have to get work done, I have clients suffering because I spend all day on EVGA's website checking for the card to be released.  The card is a personal thing and my work is suffering, hurry up EVGA......

Will the the beautiful copper cooler be on sale alone to add to a 980ti classified? 
 
What is the possibility of that cooler fitting on a 770 classified? I would purchase them for my 2 770 classifieds that so far in SLI have worked fantastic pushing any game above 60fps at my LG 34UM95's 3440-1440 resolution IPS 60hrtz panel which is approximately 2.5 times 1080p's resolution.
 
Seriously I would install those copper coolers just for looks but I know they would cool better than the aluminum ones I currently have. I know it is doubtful they will fit but I am curious.
But if they are not going to be sold alone to put on a 980ti classified than I am out of luck Since I am considering selling my 770 classified that are well endowed for their age for a single 980ti classy unless  DX12's reduced CPU overhead and overall advancements will substantially increase my 770 classy's performance. At least i have 4 gb of vram now coming fron SLI 560ti SC 1gb cards just about 2 years ago. Also I am sporting a old but still formidable 4.5-5.0 mhz 2600k that still holds its own against anything since my FPS goal is only 60fps+ to match my panels refresh rate. since anything more really does not do anything but waste GPU frames...but I do not lock my refresh rate to 60fps unless I get bad tearing, I do not mind a tiny bit hear and their but when it is bad I have to do it.
Edit: Wow I need to update my signature...new SSD and a awesome Cooler master 38mm thick Nepton 140XL that is like having a H-100 but I believe it performs better. I also still do not let my old 2600k girl break 70c now at 4660mhz in the summer with a average ambient temp of 28c she games at 50-60c and intelburntest2 tops at 68-70c, and in winter that 10c ambient cooler does result in 10c cooler temps all around.

k|ngp|nHere are the perf numbers for Kp980Ti and how it stacks up against NVIDIA reference 980Ti and NVIDIA Titan-X in 3DMARK Firestrike xtreme and Firestrike ultra benchmarks. I included Overclocked scores using 1430mhz on all 3 cards as well as default "out of the box" scores which are basically what you get without doing anything other then plug card(s) in and run. This is NOT the default shipping clock/spec of KP980Ti, that will be announced soon. Should be between 1430-1480mhz for most cards. I used the low end(1430mhz) clock on the range for KP for the Overclocked results anyways.
Same system used for all tests and these are my everyday settings for most of the vga testing I do daily
Test setup:
5960x @4.5GHZ
EVGA X99 Micro 995
Quad channel ddr4 3250mhz
Windows 8.0
NVIDIA Geforce Driver 353.30 WHQL (No driver or OS tweaks used at all anywhere, just plug in card, install driver, enable k boost, set max fan, and bench). The vga bios of all three using the same settings. Unlocked power and fan limits only.
Default out of box scores, 1200/3505 base clock:
NVIDIA Reference GTX 980Ti


NVIDIA Titan-X, 1200/3505 base clock:


Overclocked results using same gpu clocks on all three for good clock--clock comparison of how these vgas stack up against each other:
NVIDIA Reference 980Ti 1430/3505


EVGA GTX 980Ti KINGPIN 1430/3505 (below anticipated offical card spec)
You can see clock to clock its faster than reference 980Ti(and probably all other custom Ti's) and nearly at Titan-X perf level in its current state. We are performance tuning the card now in hopes for a little bit more by launch, lets see. The card is faster than 980ti reference for a few reasons, we will detail more later :D


NVIDIA TITAN-X 1430/3505


OK enough air results, how about some LN2?? I can't think of a better way to celebrate EVGA's 16th anniversary then with some single card records beating Titan-X on KP 980Ti :cool:
