So far I am impressed with this card! Did a run on valley 1.0 stock bios on normal mode @1359mhz voltage at 1.212. It throttled some what due to hitting the power % limit of 110%. Card is definitely a keeper!

Looking good. I think its time you change the Skin on Precision-X to the Kingpin version. Only seems fitting

Mine does 1189 @ 1.161 out of the box. I've completed one valley run at 1292 @ 1.161 (+103) 80c fan only at 54%. This cooler is much quieter than the version on the 780 classified and I have not had any of the noise issues. I'd rank it nearly on par with the latest twin frozr's.
 
Have only heard coil whine when the fps is in the thousands (uncapped loading screens) which my old lightnings also had. Looking forward to finding its limit on air. Pretty happy overall.

So far even on air it seems pretty capable (like it straight up eats things)
54% fans....... if the fans were at 100% does that mean it would be at 70-75 degrees or sub 70? with an OC?
the more positive news I hear the more I want to mug UPS drivers looking for my card

I am trying to order the KINGPIN from Canada, Vancouver on a MasterCard but the damn system keeps telling me my address doesn't match ?! My address matches perfectly, **** is this garbage ?? I logged into my CC website and my adress in their system is EXACTLY the same as whatever i have put into the EVGA site. Maybe I should just stay with my reference 780 Ti. I'm simply frustrated at EVGA at the moment and their system...
 
PS: I just logged into my CC site and i see 4 transactions for $1.11 from EVGA. Clearly they tested my CC and it made the transaction, however the stupid system refused to complete my order ?!?!?!

This was it man... I have done a bunch of research and it looks like a 1480mhz 780 Ti compared to a 1200mhz only gives about 1-2 FPS difference in the MINIMUM FPS which is the most important fps. When EVGA fixes their miserable purchasing system i will buy from them. For now I'm just going to stick with my reference Gigabyte 780 Ti, flashed with Skyn3T bios. You might think I sound harsh but considering we pay through our noses for a direct EVGA order, i think i have a right to complain...

Ordered mine yesterday, today it says "your item has shipped", but no tracking number. They havent even called me to verify the order

odd, you should get a call with any purchase over $500. You didn't happen to get $350 off or anything ? :)

No not at all, I paid the full price :) But I am from Europe, so maybe in EU they do not call to verify ? I called them myself yesterday to verify, but I called US customer service and they told me to call EU customer service and provided me with a number, so I called there today and it seems that my call gets redirected to some random german guy :D

Alright, I finally managed to call them and the guy on the phone told me that it was absolutely new to him that I called to confirm my order, and that it was not necessary, lol.

You aren't referring to the EVGA step-up program, are you? If so, you can't use it on any of these cards. 

You can only step up to a reference card

?  Really,  you can't step up from the Ti Classified to the Kingpin?  If that is the case,  then I shall love my Ti Classies,  until the next Kingpin,  and until then,  I will be patient. 

Yep, no classy to classy step up. Made a rant about it in the step up forum. People came, saw, and laughed saying "what about those who bought reference?" I said they are not part of the club......DUH! No real point for anyone other then benchers to buy classifieds due to step up program not allowing those same classified owners to stay in their gpu tier....bah, ill stop

Scarlet-Tech
 Military people will try to draw you down to nothing or steal it if they can.   

Lol, ain't that the truth. I'm separated...so you should sell em to me for $650.... Jk! :oD

After your tour, you'll have he cash and something new will be out.

OK, now I got mail they confirm me my card is ordered...
At the end of the next week I will have finally card with complete unlocked shaders but I can't say 100%.
 
Same is with selling card in Serbia, you can't imagine how hard is to sell such strong cards. I would sell faster two GTX760 example than one GTX780.
Special because I say I will not drop price how people want. I will drop to 450e max, and nothing under. They can go and buy new for 550e if want.
Because card is old 3 months and can 1200-1250MHz in benchmarks on stock voltage... and I will not give them for less than that.
Or they can go in pay GK104 if want, good luck. Special because every peace of hardware in Serbia from 1 January 2014 is 20% more expensive.
People talk it's not time to buy hardware now... xexexe xexe as tax is snow and they wait to melt down... it's not time now, for few months...
Over, new rules, take or leave. Price go up, monthly payment stay same and no back. I can give them non reference card for 100e less than reference, for same price as in Serbia cost EVGA GTX770 ACX, but under that no way. I would rather keep for self and look on shelf. Because GTX780 Classified 3 months old exactly same price as new EVGA GTX770 ACX is more than fair.

I agree 100% 
 
While I was selling my Galaxy 660Tis, a guy sold his ASUS 660ti.  We bench marked them against each other,  as we were friend... And they were close but obviously not equal.  I was selling 2 of them for 350 and couldn't push them on anyone,  he sold his one for 400 in 3 days.   

Got my K|NGP|N this morning
Still in the shrinkwrap, excitement overload.

can you do me a huge favor and please test the memory.  Mine is terrible on both my cards, I hit 1500 core in firestrike and 1515 core in valley but the scores aren't great because of the mem clocks.  My hynix memory on the ti classy's blows the samsung memory away.  I want to to know if this is just a fluke or not.
