Ran some tests.
 
Have 3 KPs here. Two of them I own myself and the third belongs to my business partner.
 
Both of my cards remained on water with original config/cooler and my friend was able to ghetto rig his into a custom loop with a chiller (he will be posting pics here, is definitely only a very temporary solution).

Max clocks for my cards were: 2185 and 2190 (at around 40c-45c)
Max for his: 2205 (max at 23c, idle at 12c, fluid temp 4c)
 
His temps would have been even better if he had a real waterblock, there was definitely some areas left uncovered.

The only real rival to this card is the HOF. which I own 3 of (one being OC LABS WC). I haven't tested the two non Labs HOFs yet (they arrived today) however, I'm able to hit a steady 2435 on the OC LABS (purchased end of last year). This difference is immense and is of course largely due to HOFs 2000w bios. However, in comparison, my REFERENCE PCB (2 plug) MSI Oc Duke on the 2000w bios is able to hit 2285 (512 watts)!
 
I called EVGA to inquire about the XOC bios and was hung up on (or the line just really conveniently cut). My humble conclusion is, without a XOC bios this card is not worth it at all.

Any Links to your benchmarks?
Sill would like to know what the XOC bios is.

We are filming a video about this whole thing including live video of said clocks. Will link here when done.

The xoc im referencing is the 2000watt hof bios sent out for GOC.

This is true indeed. I had to prove I owned the HOF OC labs to get that 2000w bios. It wasnt an issue at all however. The fact that it is “unsure” wether the kingpin xoc bios will be released is not worth the $4.3k risk imo, especially if there’s a chance only “the chosen ones” will get it.

The 1000w asus bios diminishes nvlink speed and typically produces lower results than the 460/380. I even tried it on my HOF (for the people’s) and got terrible results.

I can also confirm the 2000w bios can cause cards to remain in safe mode (until reflashed), so not all gpus take well to different bios’s.

EVGA is raising the cost to $3000.00 for this card

That isn't what I said.

That is HOW I read it. "You guys ready to pay almost 3k for the next kingpin? "

Next meaning the one after the current 2080 ti kingpin.

Then would this not be Off Topic.

Tweaking and benching my KPE for the last 2 hours. I believe its finally dialed in. 
 
My impressions:
 
 
Look and feel - Very solid card. Radiator/Fan also. EVGA went all out on this card.
OLED is a great addition. All the measurements can be displayed or you can select which measurement you want to display. You can customize it also. I have KINGPIN displayed at all times.
 
 
 
As confirmed earlier, the GPU is cherry picked. I have tested many 2080Ti's and this is the best overclocker's I've owned. The 144% power limit is very helpful as the core freq. is rock solid during extended 4K stress test runs.
Of course, water cooling keeps those core freq up and minimizes down clocking due to heat. My radiator is a top mount pulling air from inside the case. I may have to reposition the radiator for improved cooling.
A very quick review of my overclocking results. Hope this helps out
 
I only bench at 4K resolutions for higher levels of stress and heat generation. Fans at 85%
 
Open Case Overclock:                                                     
 
GPUz Base Clock: 1510Mhz (+160 on the core)
GPUz core boost: 1930Mhz
GPUz indicated: Memory Clock 2060 (16480 Effective) (+1240 on the Samsung memory)
Max Boost: 2175Mhz
Max sustained boost @ 48-50C:  2160Mhz (Solid 2160)
 
Closed Case Overclock: (increased temps of around 4 degrees C)
GPUz Base Clock: 1510Mhz
GPUz core boost: 1930Mhz
 
GPUz indicated: Memory Clock 2060 (16480 Effective)
Max Boost: 2160Mhz
Max sustained boost @ 52-54C:  2145Mhz (Solid 2145)

I also had the "Mechanical Failure" exception....

Glad to see cards shipping out and getting benched finally! This new KP rtx card certainly has the most emphasis on daily performance of any KP card to date. We really had a focus not only the XOC this time but also the MAXIMUM SUSTAINABLE normal ambient cooling overclocking out of the box(49-54c) to make it one of the best, if not the best and well rounded performing KP card to be released.  Really hope you guys enjoy this one! We worked hard on it. Really cool thing about this gen KP card is that it can scale on hybrid cooler with voltage now on both mem and core so most of you guys should be able to squeeze a few more delta clocks out of it with a small V bump for ambient benching runs. The samsung memory rips too when you give it some more juice. 
I always take care of you guys with proper XOC stuff, this gen is no different ofc ;). Wait for it.

I have question, why it takes so 'long' time to release KINGPIN gpu:s?
It's been 5-6 month since NVIDIA begin to ship their 2080TI:s.
 
Is it because binning takes long or it takes long time to design/manufacture?
 
Don't get me wrong. I like kingpin card, but I'm not probably only one who doesn't pick up this GPU because of 'late' launch date (It's one of last 2080ti:s that gets released on market).

...My humble conclusion is, without a XOC bios this card is not worth it at all.

 
This is essentially correct and shouldn't really come as a surprise to anyone who has been into GPU OC'ing for a while. The same goes for the Lightning Z and HOF cards. KPE users will most likely have access to an XOC vBios from Vince as has been the case in the past. Also there are many vBios' that people can already choose from to raise the power limit on any card, the Asus 1000W bios comes to mind...

What's up Vince! Interesting to hear about the slightly different approach this time 'round.
 
Great to see both of the masterminds posting here, big congrats on another successful KPE launch!

Was expecting nothing less of course, you set the precedent years ago. Looking forward to it. Cheers!
