I was really hoping that I would be able to skip the 780ti series after buying 3-way 780 classy's but if this turns out to be true.
 
I might just not be able to resist.
 
Any comment Jacob and Co?
 

why would evga do this? i just pre ordered the  780 ti classified, this makes me feel as they no longer care about the customer, if i had known about this i would of got this instead.
showing a new card before one that is not even released yet is out! :( very bad showmanship from evga its made me disappointed as i have been a sole veteran with evga products.

 800 series out in a couple months, I would wait.

Where you preorder the 780 ti classified? It hasn't even post the clocks yet on evga page. It only shows TBA and coming soon.

Can we get a clarification? So there will be 780 ti Classified and then there will be 780 ti Kingpin? If yes, what is the difference between the two specs wise?
 
Thanks

^^ Ok, so in other words there will be 2 SKUs anyway: Classy and Kingpin. Just want to make sure it's not the same thing

According to the Guru3d article, it's might have 6 GB of vram and come with no voltage or tdp limits.  If this turns out to be true, I'll take 2. 

My god... If that turns out to be true... My poor wallet... Just need Swiftech or EK to make a block for it, then we'll be golden!

I know right.....I still haven't forgiven Evga for coming out with a better card than my GTX285.

And my 480, and my 580, and my 680, the hits just keep on coming.(lol)
They're in the gpu business, do you expect when one card is coming out, they're not already working on the next, come on.

Hopefully I can get my hands in 4 of these beasts and will make other people very happy as they will be able to get their hands on some cheap Titans .

How else are they supposed to release new cards? You just want them to not put any more cards out because you just decided to purchase a card?

I just bought 4 Titans and I will happily sell them to get 4 of these GPUs. Let's just hope it's not a one off that will never be produced...

whaaaaat?! I still can't forgive them for making something better than my 9600GT (flashed to 9800) that I'm currently using. So many years, and still rocking. Tells you something about the quality you know

Tells me something when someone claims to have flashed a 9600GT to a 9800. Just ain't possible, Clem. You might get away with changing the device ID but you can't flash shaders into existence.

Custom bios, obviously. Same clocks as 9800 and the ID for bragging rights. Just too lazy to overcook via soft or profiles. But hey, I don't trust random ppl on the internet either ;)

I wonder if they are going to put ACX Cooler on the Kingpin, and maybe some nice overclock with double bios? Most likely the Kingpin card will be the most expensive from the 700 series on the market but offer the best performance! Remember, the Vram really comes in a role if you are playing games on high resolutions!
 
One thing I will suggest you do, don't pre-order now. See the specs for BOTH cards when they launch and see the benchmarks between the two! If the Kingpin turns out the best, get it, but there is a good chance that the Classy will beat it, unless EVGA have the best OC on both cards and all options that are on the Classy (like the DUAL BIOS) to be on the Kingpin as well...then you will have the choice - you either get a Classy which is cheaper and with less Vram (3GB) and power/voltage limit or you get the Kingpin which will most likely make ur wallet cry.
 
Personally, I will watch the 3D mark performance and the FPS difference between the two and decide which gives the most performance, but I am pretty sure the Kingpin with that no power and voltage limit will have the best overclocking potential and therefore the best performance. Make sure, if you get the Kingpin, you get a good power supply and get ready to pay big bills for electricity (who cares anyway! There is enough oil and uranium for 20 more centuries!)

Yes if card is some nice design than really worth to go on that.
That would be excellent replace for GTX580 Classified Ultra, when I miss that VGA
to play, overclock and put on shelf in glass box when came time for retirement.
Only it's very bad because many people prepare money for premium NVIDIA GTX7xx chip and
they will not enjoy in that because AMD need to humiliate NVIDIA customer to force NVIDIA
to give competitive performance with Radeons.
 

It is however likely, that the 6GB Kingpin GTX 780Ti will cost $999 and if it does, then i will not buy it in any way. It will only replace Titan this so...but if it is in a price range of the Classified, then why not? It will be a card for overclockers anyway and unless you are big overclocker that wanna go into the top 20s, then you might consider the 1000$ card...

wow really? i just ordered 2x gtx 780 ti superclocked. if 780 ti classfy come out within a month, ima exchange it then 

Yup, this is the exact reason I actually waited on getting a Ti when it was first announced because I knew there would be custom cards soon to follow.
