but i just order a ftw3

There'll always be something new.

and its doubtful to be any better on air/water anyway from what I learned about pascal......FTW3 is plenty  for air/water

If you're looking to get more consistent clocks the FTW, Classified & Kingpin are still good buys as they come with increased power targets over the FE.

What are their power targets?  I know we can get 120% with most.  Do they go significantly higher?  If so, I agree that is a worthy advantage because power target keeps these cards from even reaching their max stable clocks in heavy usage games pretty often.

Heh, I get a kick out of the peeps who ask "Should I wait".  That's a game with no end, cause there is always bigger better faster just over the horizon.

From what I've read so far the main attractions to the Ti are obviously the price and the fact that Nvidia is putting no restrictions on partners' designs so I don't see why there wouldn't be one.

If the best that they are coming up with is the FTW3 I'll be buying a Galax HOF this time around.

I hear you brother! ..Or a pre-binned selection of classy's would definitely be interesting

Remember when EVGA sold pre-binned Kingpin 980ti cards based on ASIC scores and charged $849 for a basic score and $1049 for the same card with a higher ASIC score?  Nvidia loved it.  So much they removed ASIC scores from the 10 series.   At least that was my theory.

Wonder what the new 1080 ti classified/kingpin is going to look like.

Any one is fine with me. My next card will be one of those.      

Kingpin himself just posted this and said "Almost Time".

Will I buy one if/when it comes out?

That's the attitude!

It's actually not overkill that's just you psyching yourself out. It will perform no better than any other GP102. 😂

Why you gotta rain in our parade over here.  What's it to you?!  hmmm

as long as I can play candycrush .. I'm happy

Not sure about Candy Crush, but it can load MS-Dos

LOL.  Try 1%

I own a couple of 82%+ ASIC 980 Ti Kingpins and on air compared to other 980 Ti cards the difference is 10% or more.

I would say it was sarcasm, since the card was never built for air, and many folks that stayed on air had complaints. I had the 980 kingpins and coukdnt even play counter strike on air because the card drashed at 60c until I put waterblocks on the cards to keep them cool. People that spend 1049 for the same thing everyone else had with a different label will always try to justify the purchase. If you are simply wanting higher benchmark scores, buy them.. if you are expecting this thing to take you to a whole new gaming realm, wait for actual reviews from end users.
