GTX 780 Ti Kingpin would be the absolute best card today but with only 3 Gb it’s not a particularly compelling long-term value.  BF4 can all ready hits the 3 Gb ram wall.

Any possibilities for Step up options from 780Ti ACX to either Classified or Kingpin options? Just bought mine and have remorse for not waiting but I go impatient.

This card is wicked. Looks gorgeous and they are definitely promoting it well, but 3gb vram?
 
That's like handing a guy a Lamborghini with 200 miles of empty road ahead, but you only have one gallon of gas!

This card is more for benching than gaming.

Using cisco0623's analogy of Automobiles, that like having a top performing NASCAR engine build on the Dynamometer producing record values and when the driver asks " When can I race it?" the production team says " Oh, not meant to be raced, only for the Dynamometer"

There could be a dual BIOS switch in which one BIOS enables 3GB of VRAM for benching, and the other BIOS enables all 6GB. So you could choose the best of both worlds.

Everyone here knows the minute this is released, you're all going to get one. So quit complaining.

SajinThis would be awesome. EVGA could even charge more for this little feature.

nVidia didn't limit the amount of VRAM board partners could put on the 780Ti.

Uh It's more like having a top performing NASCAR winning races and breaking records and then asking when you can take it to pick up groceries. People who don't bench ln2 should just get a regular classified. and People who don't bench at all. Well there are cards for them too.

 
So if I understand you correctly, this card is meant/designed only for Liquid Nitrogen Benchers.  If that is the case, why does the card not come with the pots to use Liquid Nitrogen Cooling instead of the ACX Cooler? For example, the Hydro-Copper comes with water blocks being designed for watercooling.
 
I have not seen one person question the 3gb of buffer memory that mentioned benching. I have seen multiple people question the amount of buffer memory that are worried about hitting the vram wall while gaming.  Has this card been marketed to the wrong crowd?
 
You think only Liquid Nitrogen Benchers will purchase this card?  If so, that was a lot of resources given to such a select group of consumers.

Hmm looks like a 3GB card, since there is no VRAM on that side of the PCB< which is the rear side Good to know

 
I count 12 Ram chips, so for 3GB 384Bit GDDR5, you get the following:
12x 256MB 32Bit GDDR5 = 3072MB 384Bit GDDR5, thus that seems legit
 
A Titan has 6GB 384Bit GDDR5, so for that you get the following:
24x 256MB 32Bit for 6144MB 384Bit GDDR5
A Titan has 24 ram chips as it has 12 on it's top side plus another 12 on it's rear side
 
So due to that, I think that this card has 3072MB 384Bit GDDR5, now if it would have 12 x 512MB 32Bit GDDR5, that would give it a total of 6144MB 384Bit GDDR5, but as far as I recall, there are no 512MB 32Bit GDDR5 VRAM chips as of yet, so due to that, I don't think this card will ship with 6GB 384Bit GDDR5.
 
But due to this speculation of mine, I think that this GTX 780 Ti Classified King Pin Edition just has 3GB 384Bit GDDR5 over 6GB 384Bit GDDR5, like it's slower brothers that also have the same GK110-425-B1 GPGPU.

Don't forget Quadro K6000 with 12GB VRAM, I don't think it has more than 24 VRAM chips
But not sure if it can run on 7Gbps or higher
