The hybrid is just as easy for tear down and LN2, and allows the bencher to pewter’s with lower temps overall, so the hybrid would actually be better and the split memory and VRM plates can assist so that the VRM plate doesn’t need to be removed when slamming voltage through them to the core.

Or to install the Hydro Copper Water Block.

Is the Hydro Copper block going to be compatible with the copper heatsinks that sit on the PCB? I would assume so but I can’t remember if any of that info had been stated before.

@Zeddivile  Thanks for the update
I am now completing my Game Mode Benchmarks and will post all of then on my Rig https://forums.evga.com/FindPost/2947558
There is just to much off topic posts in this thread to keep posting.

How does the kingpin compare to the 2080 Ti XC hybrid 11gb? I looked at the specs and they don't look much different. I'm new to computer building, so I cant tell much of a difference.

The 2080 Ti XC Hybrid is a standard size Card Radiator is a 120
This Card is larger and a little bigger than the 2080 Ti FTW3 XC Hybrid Card Radiator is a 240

What about performance? The numbers look basically the same to me. How does this justify $400 difference?

It is a $500 Difference, This is Not your Normal Graphics Card.

Actually you are correct, that’s what I was talking about.

Can I get a qrd on the kingpin vs the 2080ti ftw? What is the justification for the price bump?

Maybe create your own Thread on this Topic.
Most of us have been waiting a very long time for this Graphics Card.
It is a Hardcore Overclocking and Gaming Graphics Card.

That’s what I don’t get. What’s the point? The more I look at the difference, The difference seems so negligible that I’m starting to question whether it’s actually even worth it. What are you expecting to get out of it vs the 2080ti ftw?

If you have to ask that question so many times, you have probably already decided it isn’t worth it to you.

No one here can explain it better than they have.

I returned my ftw3 on a hydro copper block with 2190-2205mhz and mem running at a 8450/8475mhz for what?? More power!!
Ftw3 has a low power limit of 360-384watts. Kingpin 520watts!
More power!
For people that know.. its everything.

I hope you are not sorry, my card is only good for 2160-21750MHz @ 2190MHz it Crashes.

I wont be worried about it till shes running at 36-39c on load. And had a few days to tweak.

I am running them Temperatures now and lower.

My card on air was terrible. Tested the night before I returned it. Cant remember without my notes but it prob was 2130mhz maybe stable at 1.68v and hitting power limit. That's at 50-60c tops in firestrike.

2145-2160mhz was my top benchmark in firestrike cause it was mostly under the power limit.. think 18666.

I'm more stressed about the memory as that card was fine at 4450 and benching at 4475mhz.

Can be had at microcenter open box at $1295.96!

I'm crushed now as my old faithful 1080ti ftw3 can only do 2023mhz on air! 53c top.

Which MC?

Will either of you please explain it to me like I'm 15? I am new to building computers, and I don't know the significance of the differences. At this point, I can differentiate numbers and watch videos on test benches. I'm deciding between the 2080ti ftw vs the kingpin and the stats look very similar.
 
Out of the box stock they look very similar, except for the kingpin has an extra fan, larger radiator, and slighting different numbers, and overclocking I know very little about.
 
What are the differences? Why are people excited? How are the cards different when overclocked?

AHowes
You'll be happier with the ftw3. Install, play with the evga px1 software to set up the fans to your liking and play games.

For someone new the kingpin would be overkill and way too complex to fool around with.

I'd say skip the hybrid version as the single fan rad really isint up to the task. The stock fan cooler on the ftw3 is great and quiet enough at full speed fans to not bother you with headphones on.

I bought a 2080ti ftw hybrid from amazon, and when it came, I had noticed that someone opened the box and replaced it with a 1080 hybrid. Now that I'm in the process of returning it, I had learned that the kingpin was about to be released again and am reconsidering my options. The intention of my build is threefold- video editing, voice recording/audio streaming/podcasting, and potentially, in the future, game streaming.
 
Two things that are important to me are lack of noise (for recording) and the potential for overclocking. I purchased a i9 intel 9900k with the intention that I was likely eventually going to be overclocking it after I got settled in my groove and learned more about computers and overclocking. Similarly, with the graphics card, I am anticipating overclocking potential in the future. The hybrid made sense to me because I thought it would lead to more silent operating volume while recording/streaming. How I am reasoning the graphic card decision is that I am expecting many years of use, with the overclocking potential I am hoping to squeeze a few more years of use before obsolesces settles in. This is why I was considering the kingpin over reordering the 2080ti ftw. I don't know how to compare the potential between the cards and am hoping that you can fill me in. Thanks for the read.
