True that. And KPEs historically haven’t been eligible for step up anyways. But it’s a nice thought.

 
Anyone else notice that the block on the new 3090 Ti FTW3 Hydrocopper (link) looks quite a bit like an Optimus block (link)? That's a very good thing if it is an Optimus block - providing Optimus can keep up with demand.. and that's a big 'if'..

 

It's curious that there aren't any posted specs on the liquid cooled cards. I'd assume the hybrid and hc FTW3s would have the same boost clocks as the FTW3 Ultra. Any predictions on 3090 Ti KPE boost clock? It blows my mind that the FTW3 Ultra has the same boost clock as the 3090 KP with 2 more SMs. Really goes to show how binned these GA102s must be to even qualify to become a 3090 Ti.

I noticed that too.  Performance wise, great news.  Support wise and schedule, terrible news.
 
I had the Optimus KPE block and had to return it because of sealing issues.  So if it was Optimus I'd have some concerns.

2 of those new 12-pin connector thingamabobs.  So 6x8pin PCIe?

EVGA is advertising the PerfFE cables single 12 pin cable to 2 8 pins for EVGA PSUs as compatible with the FTW3 so I'm assuming 2 of those would be fine for the kingpin? Saves 2 8 pins cables at least.

So we only need two 12-pin adapter cables? So I guess being limited to only 150w without the other 4-pins was all incorrect?

From what I saw on one of the Linus channels is that the 4 pins are for new ATX 3.0 PSUs. They will tell your GPU how much power the PSU can safely put out and automatically set your power limits accordingly in an effort to save lower capacity PSUs and their attached hardware
