if there will not be "..2150 on average.." then no point of this card

Rear exhaust cards like the founders edition are great for small compact cases as they remove the hot air. But if you arent using a micro atx case, and your case has good airflow, then the case exhaust cards actually stay cooler.

Did you see the attached picture? That isn't "better" than other 1080 TI's. Not even close to some of the top OC'd cards..

links?
What other stock cards are doing 2075@ 65c? Its not like evga said this thing will run at 2500mhz alldayeveryday. What were you expecting?
 
Just based on aesthetics i would consider this card "better" then all the others simply because i think it looks awesome compared to all other 1080ti's. So what makes it "better" is completely dependent on the end user.
 
Ive had my hands on 3 1080's, zotac amp extreme,  instantly went to 2025, start playing anything, instantly drops to 1999, and 15 minutes later down to 1970's. Asus Strix, instantly boost to 1999, play for 30 minutes down to 1970. Evga ftw3, instantly boost to 1974 and never budged.

I've seen Strix (had one myself as well) cards do just as well, if not better, all while being cooler. Go check out Jayztwocents.

The Strix I had hit 1969 on OC mode, and stayed their. Never dropped..

He saw 2088 on his strix and its the highest hes seen, but the strix i got wouldnt reach that, heck i couldnt even maunually overclock it past 2000 without it crashing. I also think the 2088 was manually overclocked, not like it boosted itself to 2088. Asus may have sent jay a binned card, knowing it would clock that high. Makes sense, send a card they know will clock well, to a reviewer who will get 200k+ views.

Truth is the clock speed comes down the silicon lottery, and the kingpin card will be using binned chips, thats how they can claim 2025, because they have tested them to ensure their quality. So with a strix, you may get a nice card like jay, you may get a card like you, me, and my friend that will never see 2025mhz. You can gamble and maybe get a great card, or buy a kingpin, and know you have a great card.

@Skizzy34. I can confirm the Poseidon can do this on air with only setting it to OC mode. Runs 2025.

There was Never mention of 2150 on average. Not once.

In the one video where 2150 was mentioned, Jay asked, "what have you seen some of them do" and Vince responded 2150+.. some is not an average, that means.. some.

The fans seems to be at around 60% so increasing that would obviously reduce temps and perhaps even give more overclocking headroom. I've seen the MSI Lightning Z hit 2050MHz at 65c with a conservative fan speed of 50% and 45c with fans on max. The Kingpin should be able to best that or at least match it. The Lightning Z is a triple slot card too, unlike the Kingpin.

Simple observation after looking for 10 seconds at the marketing photos for the card. Why are the radiator fins on the air cooling not aligned to work with exhausting the air out the back of the card? Why is the rear port plate vented in the context of the heatsink fin alignment? 

Its not a cooler that exhaust out the back of the case, a card that does that is the founders edition. It has a shroud that forces air threw the card and out the back. So it sucks air into the card, and forces it out the back where it exhausts.

Now the kingpin, like every other card that has exposed fans such as the ftw3, asus strix, zotac amp extreme, and many many others, these fans exhaust into the case. They put a big heatsink on the card, and lots of fans that blow air onto the heatsink, the hot air flows off the fins and circulates back into the case. 

 
Rear exhaust cards like the founders edition are great for small compact cases as they remove the hot air. But if you arent using a micro atx case, and your case has good airflow, then the case exhaust cards actually stay cooler.

whats the news from the front was the it spotted yet.

Only 96 more posts bud. Also I haven't seen anything beyond they are posting a lot of pictures on twitter and stuff

Only updates I've gotten have been from JacobF, their product manager, via Twitter. Last week he implied that it could be this week. Yesterday he specified "Won't be today July 24th, 2017", so now he's specifying days instead of weeks. I'm probably looking way too into it, but I'm assuming it should be within the next couple days.
