xxDarkxxhttps://www.3dmark.com/pr/717954 slight cold. ive scored 15,800+ but i would rather apples to apples https://www.3dmark.com/pr/832549 this is completely ambient I dont see any kp scores saved to my account. either way it's just not as good.I wasn't necessarily expecting a better core but i was absolutely expecting better memory. I have very average memory on my ftw3 and figured i would make the most gains here. I hear of ppl running 1600+ mem and i was looking for AT LEAST +1300. instead it's the same as my ftw3 so it would always be an uphill battle with this KP
xxDarkxxno those are both my ftw3 scoresmy kp wasnt in that ballpark if i had a kp doing 15.55k without anything i would consider that golden. imagine a waterblock and 1000w bios with some classified tinkering I wish that was my kp. thats just my ftw3 using px1 straight clocks I've already given up on this kingpin i need a better memory oc out the box
Sn8ke_iisTiN when talking about the 2080 Ti gen, said not to get too fixated on the clock speed of the GPU and memory. I think it may have been on xdevs.com But to look at the results and benchmark scores. The chips could be better quality in terms of number of CUDA cores and how well they crunch numbers for a given amount of electricity. I would agree that there haven't been enough chips of this gen to properly bin relative to previous generations. They do advertise K|NGP|Ns with the highest boost clocks and texture fill rate. The next highest are the FTW Hybrids. No other AIB partner for Nvidia does that as far as I am aware. As far as real world gaming performance, you probably are just better off getting a FTW and using the higher power BIOS. Get it under a good waterblock, even better. That will probably get you 90-95% of the way there. Kingpins are sold with lots of extra bells and whistles for overclocking that don't necessarilly translate into more frames, just higher benchmark scores. Some games might respond well to VRAM overclocking, especially VR simulation games like DCS. They also keep resale value very well. Mine is getting here Saturday. I'll post some 3dmark scores. I also like the 4K and 8K Unigine Superposition benchmark. Probably by Monday or Tuesday night. Cheers Sn8ke_iis
