So will this gpu have a higher clock than classified?
It just says ++. What does that mean ;)

I'm not sure if it will allow a "?" I don't see it in the specs so we will have to see what the reviewers have to say about the "?" capabilities

It means they haven't finalized what the final promised specs with the stock cooler and a greenlit BIOS will be. This really should not concern people too much, we all saw how the hydrocopper was being bottlenecked by the TDP limits on the stock BIOS.

I am surprised to see the exact same specs as the regular classy with ++ added.



That's what I was thinking , I wanna see what "++" means .  That hydro copper with the same specs for only an extra $50.00 is looking like a sweet deal ... need more info

Jacob came in and addressed that the numbers aren't final, so they will be updated before release of the card.

Of course. It was my very first question as well, so I had to ask. It just got lost quick in all of the excitement.

Should be. Did you enter your payment information? EVGA usually verifies, by phone, any order over a specific amount to make sure someone isn't stealing your info and buying amazing things without your knowledge.

Yep, sounds like that is exactly what is going to happen. I can't wait to see how well they perform for everyone.

Strongisland1 and Szeged and the extreme overclockers results are the ones I am extremely excited about.

Finally after seeing the specs of this card, I am well-content with my purchase of the 980 Classified on NewEgg which I got for $640. The Kingpin is basically the same as the Classified just with a black-plate and single-slot ports configuration. If I didn't buy this Classified last week for $640 price, I still probably wouldn't buy the Kingpin, even though it has a single-slot ports configuration, because it doesn't have Displayport, only miniDisplayports which have a smaller bandwidth. The only thing I like about this KPE is that it has a backplate and single-slot ports configuration. $750 is a good price though, definitely better than pricing between 780TI classified and the KPE which I actually bought from EVGA directly.

Read before assuming. The numbers are NOT final, as has been posted 4 times. If you are buying for numbers only, then be happy with the ones you have.

No step up? Lame

Seriously??? Maybe EVGA should just STOP the step up program? How lame would that be? I just don't get it................




I say that before, I payed 780 Classified and after that 780Ti KP full price for both, I didn't ask for step-up because reference cards are not interesting for me but same as reference cards are not interesting for us and people who bought them should stop to ask for step-up on custom models.
If waterblock is not compatible, and if clock is same than for people with waterblock and normal Classy is OK.
Normal Classy have baseplate too, only need backplate... I think from side of normal customers Classified is not big difference,
but 980 KP worth price difference because nice package, backplates and improvements on VRM probably. Price is OK.
But EVGA could tomorrow to launch card with different number with 50-60MHz higher clock.

Given the recall of the 970 and its controversy, I don't think EVGA would accept pre-orders without official numbers. The 980 KPE is basically the 980 Classified but with a backplate and a single-slot ports configuration. It's marked down a good price though especially in comparison to 780Ti's KPE, but I don't care for miniDisplayports rather instead have a full Displayport with bigger bandwidth.

My monitor still work only over DVI.

The PCB is completely different than even the regular Classified, hence why the Waterblock that Ek has made isn't going to fit this card.

Also, this is a preorder. It has 2 more weeks until it is released, and the two masterminds behind this card are still working on the bios, as it has 3, to make sure all of them function properly.

How many times have people. Pre-ordered cars that haven't even made it to the manufacturing line? I know Carroll Shelby sold his first production car when the big comeback was happening for Mustang, for six hundred thousand dollars, and hadn't even drafted a model of an idea for what could possibly come out.

These are just bios numbers here. This isn't the 970. This isn't even related to anything the 970 is/was/or could be.

You do understand this is a business right?  And EVGA is already losing out on money because of the recalls from Europe from the 970 situation so I don't think they want to fudge around with numbers AFTER accepting pre-orders. It has nothing to do with 970 card itself, it has more to do with business.

Hahaha, you are dense. Jacob himself addressed it moments after release. ++ is a place holder. As stated. So yeah. Just don't order one, it doesn't hurt anyone.

awesome thanks! :) from stock 580 sli to this! Will be a great update! May be overkill for me with only air cooling in mind but I wanted the best 980 because I am going away from sli.

I've seen it written a few times that the ROG Swift (2560x1440, 144hz) will not work with mini displayports?  Is this correct; I can't find anything about the mini displayport bandwidth being different or not enough.

Complete bull. If its mini DP 1.2 it has the same bandwidth as full. It will work fine.

What is the preorder bonus item?  Or did I misread that.


don't get too excited I bet it's the t-shirt.  I wish they had a base version without all the accessories, t-shirt and led cooler for cheaper price, I could really care less about that stuff, it even made the shipping more expensive.  I don't need any of that stuff.

I've seen it written a few times that the ROG Swift (2560x1440, 144hz) will not work with mini displayports?  Is this correct; I can't find anything about the mini displayport bandwith being different or not enough.


Complete bull. If its mini DP 1.2 it has the same bandwidth as full. It will work fine. 





Thanks for the response.

What is the preorder bonus item?  Or did I misread that.


don't get too excited I bet it's the t-shirt.  I wish they had a base version without all the accessories, t-shirt and led cooler for cheaper price, I could really care less about that stuff, it even made the shipping more expensive.  I don't need any of that stuff. 




I was wondering if that was it but I guess we'll wait and see and not get our hopes up.  I'm not sure the price would be much lower even with those things left out since it's the Kingpin model and how close it already is to the classy price.

Damn, I missed the 780TI KPE and rushed to get the 980 Classifieds. Now I really regret that decision...should have waited for these. :(

It's probably due to poor cables and many of them have one pin too much electrically wired which could damage hardware. With my Swift and Sapphire 295X2, I had to buy an Accell cable and it works very fine, over 120 Hz for some reason is impossible on that display with AMD card (the same behaviour can be seen with my Ares III which has normal DP, so it's an AMD or compatibility issue).
 
At first I had a poor miniDP cable and couldn't get over 60 Hz. Hope this helps...

Rog swift works fine with mini dp. Just need a mini dp to display port cable. I bought a couple from big jungle retailer so I can use the swift with my laptops.
