I’m torn between getting one or just getting a Ftw card. Money’s not the issue. Just that I’ve seen Ftw cards overclock almost as good as the kingpin

Money not an issue.. you'll be more happy with the kingpin in the long run.. neither will make you cry really.. kingpin will have better resale as always to boot.

Ordered mine this morning.
I understand each card will vary.
Through all the testing EVGA did, what were the overclocks you were seeing? Core and Memory?
Thank you!
 
 

I was seeing 2200/8000 with some tweaking.

Possible to hit 2300/8000 in a custom loop or no? I to understand it will vary

Fantastic card!
It's great that it's available to EU as expected. Goes in line with quality deliveries of FTW3 too for the EU market. The stock is always plentiful. 

Why I have to get the membership to buy it

I think the plus of getting a Kingpin is you have a better idea what you're getting at a minimum for overhead on your clocks.  FTW cards are great, but it can be a crapshoot on how well binned the GPU is.  So the overclock will vary more.  And effectively no power limit on the Kingpin!

There are some expected OC settings in the OC guide jacob posted:

Interesting...

So essentially, for those of us who already have a 2080 ti FTW3 Hybrid that can achieve stable 8000MHz memory and stable core clocks of 2050 to 2100MHz, the Kingpin won't really be worth the upgrade. Unless you decide to go full custom loop to achieve 2100MHz+ stable core clocks, I suppose.

Good info, if accurate.

That is true. I did buy a 9700k binned at 5.4Ghz, instead of trying to play the silicon lottery

My friends Ftw on air hits over 2100/8000. It is a silicon lottery though

Any chance you guys will sell the 240 mm cooler so that we can remove the 120 mm from the FTW3 Hybrid cards and replace with the 240 mm?

I would think if they did that it would be the whole cooler with a 240mm.

Yeah, since installing the hybrid kit to decrease temps, I've been able to reach 2115/8000 (dropping to 2050/8000 after about 60 minutes in benchmarks or games) without any issues. 

I suppose if I was starting from scratch I'd splurge on the Kingpin. But at this point I'll just hang tight with what I've got.
