So, a rebranded titan cooler? I would like the black fins inside, but the color serves no functionality. I wonder if that is actually it, or if maybe someone did that for the attention.

Personally, I hope that is the cooler.

Looking at the pictures, I REALLY hope EVGA will include a backplate. I don't plan on purchasing one, but it would be the nice thing to do for the users.

DVI, HDMI 2.0 and 3x DP 1.2a ports. Nice to see Nvidia finally taking DP a bit more seriously.

I sure hope that isn't true. My 120hz monitors only have one DVI port on each of them, and if I get SLI 980s then I can't hook all 3 up. My monitors are 1440p and overclocked to 120Hz. DP and HDMI adapters won't work because they don't have a high enough pixel clock. This really sucks.

what happened to the GTX800 series?
also found this

Nvidia is skipping the 800 name to keep the numbering following the mobile gpu's

Card have nice baseplate as Titan Z. 
Yea NVIDIA reference design is nicer always and quality is nice even with reference models.
6+6pin.... No graphic without 15 phases and 22-24pin power connectors. 
When EVGA launch Classified version, world look in that direction. 
With GK110 fabric OC was amazing. GTX780Ti K|NGP|N Edition came with clock above every expectation.
I hope EVGA will offer something similar as with GM210, very close to limit for normal use.
I think we should organize crew of customers who only buy NVIDIA cards with 3rd connector, I mean 8+8 and something more.
GTX285 Classified- GTX580 ULTRA Classified - GTX780Ti K|NGP|N Classified - ???
 
Only I don't like bracket, EVGA Highflow bracket on GTX580 reference is BEST.
