If history holds true EVGA will go from 10.5" to a 11" card to suppy any Dual Classified or KING PIN (?) editions. This will be necsscitated by increases in memory clock, and larger cooler/heat pipe. The 780 ti Dual Classified (which i own) is only supplanted by the KING PIN which is the same lenght (11"), but about 1.5" wider. I think the most frustrating thing for us enthusiast is to think we have the latest and greates; then EVGA releases something that replaces that. This is why I am going to wait at least until there is a "Dual Classified" edition with the "suppoting elements", allowing a boost clock to around 1500 ghz.
 
It will take a new KING PIN edition to supplant the Dual Classified, and by that time the extra heat and energy comsumtion will not worth it (to buy a KING PIN edition). My Dual Classified will out perform the KING PIN under normal conditions. This is because it can be over clocked more, while additional overclocking of the KING PIN will lead to throttling due to temperatures. You can see by Digital Storm's testing that the KING PIN can only match the lower clocked Dual Classified. 

it's just as I thought really that it would probably be around 11 ins which is just pushing it for my case I could get a bigger case but thats just two much hassle and more money I'm only a gamer serous gamer though so I think I'm just gonna keep these two gtx 980 sc I have by the side of me and if a 980 ti comes out in the 90 days I'll step up to that or or whatever other reference card I'm going to install these now. But take a look at this link it's showing on board design that the gtx 980 classified is 10.5 ins but it also says it release date is 19th September 2014 which leads me to think it's false information

Is the card available for Europe? I live in Turkey and was wondering when it would be available. Also how much will it be in Euros? I was thinking to get Zotac GTX 980 AMP! Extreme Edition but it seems it has some serious OC problems, no real support, bad BIOS and really shoddy OCing program with no additional information even though using the added OC+ chip through a USB header...
