Can i do a step-up from my ftw3 to the kingpin? Or is there any possibility?

Nope. These custom boards are never in the step up.  Only reference.

That sucks because i had to wait 3 more weeks for a new FTW3 because my current one is DOA. I receive my new one tomorrow and now i am unable to return it because it's past the 2 weeks of return.

Jacobs post clearly showed temps of 20 degrees for gpu core. That sure as heck ain't on air. Trust certain websites to not fact check for jack. That sure is notorious for half-baked rumour reporting and now they can't even get facts straight.

 
Yeah, just read the article myself. Nowhere in his tweet does it say that card is running on air. Precision X istn't even listing rpm of fans, sure that could be because of a beta build of the software but 20c och gpu core and 18c on the memory with that insane overlocking on air? I don't think so...

Hey...............It's on the internet so it must be true................and it is wccftech's article......I mean with the earlier 10xx series splodin and blowin up all over the place, I mean just check reddit.........that's all true too ya know!!!

I would love to see someone running 20c on air cooling.. nowhere did jacob state air cooling, he says nice temps and overclocking. Wccftech is blowing smoke to force a lie.

So, what cooler was used, and since you can see a +500 offset, that means the clocks comes in at 1904 boost clock before manual overclocking.. not 2025. If he says it doesnt ship with it, then you will have to apply a 121 mhz offset yourself, which isnt bad at all. I can see 2150 on air happening, but not often, since he said the 980 kpe would do 1600, and it didnt do that except on a select few cards.

Kingpin claimed 2150 Mhz as an AVERAGE  on air based on what he has seen . So it means that those cards can go as low as 2025Mhz  and maybe as high as 2,2Ghz - 2,3Gz  on air .  

This is going to be one serious performing video card. Hopefully there will be more news about this soon.

Those numbers are made with the GPU under LN2
 
lets be honest , how much more is the Kingpin gonna overclock and is it worth the money and trouble of water cooling it vs how many FPS you get .

He said he's seen 2150MHz+ on air in conditions like his lab (where it's in a open air bench and obviously full time air conditioned to who knows what temps and of course silicon lottery)  He's wearing a sweatshirt with the arms pulled up in Jayz video so I would imagine 60F.  No where did he say 2150MHz is an average on air.
 
Looking forward to seeing what people can do with the cards for sure, but also...  Counting the days till the forums are flooded with people asking about RMA because their Kingpin doesn't hit 2150MHz.

Probably not as much as +121MHz because gpu boost 3.0 will do some of the work for you. That's why I'm thinking that the secondary bios for 2025MHz is an option.

Look at that cool PCB, really interesting and unique peace of hardware.
This is not only for LN2, collectionars love this type of GPU to use, not normal commercial versions.
Even PIN connectors are designed friendly for cable management inside case, clean view on whole GPU.
That's very good decision from EVGA. I love one more thing, EVGA logo above PCI-E connector.... 
 
 

 
 
But I'm excited because FTW3 Hybrid as well.

As a fun fact, they said that the card has leds that show the flow of power going from one component to another. I know it does not change anything in performance, but it has to look awesome.

Dat PCB & Cooler.

What about the backplate... led traces to follow the power to its respective location sounds neat as well.

Yeah, I thought that was awesome as well. 

Anyone care to guess why there is a 3rd sli finger?
