14 DAY TRIAL // The other day, we brought to your attention a certain teaser photo that EVGA had posted on Instagram. Now, we finally have some new information to share about it, which gamers and overclockers might find pretty exciting.
And we aren't talking about the name of the new graphics card, although that's not exactly a minor detail in itself: GeForce GTX 780 Ti Kingpin Edition.
Now, what we can tell you, thanks to new information from TEAMEVGA, is that the video board has, or will have, 6 GB of GDDR5 VRAM, as well as unlocked voltage.
That means that it's specifically made for serious overclocking. Not surprising, given EVGA's propensity for taking part in, setting up and sponsoring the participation of independent teams in overclocking competitions.
No doubt, the GeForce GTX 780 Ti Kingpin Edition will end up in a contest at some point.
Granted, this could actually be an NVIDIA-made, reference GTX 780 Ti 6 GB card, but it's unlikely. It's EVGA that produced the teaser after all.
Murmurs about the GTX 780 TI KPE (KPE stands for Kingpin Edition) actually predate the official launch of the Original GeForce GTX 780 Ti.
Vince “k|ngp|n” Lucido was involved in the design of the thing, being an extreme overclocker that broke many world records in GPU performance.
We can be sure that the 6 GB of RAM and unlocked voltage will be accompanied by a nice factory overclock and better PCB components.
So, while we can be sure that the number of CUDA cores (2,880) and other physical GPU parts will stay the same, the clock is bound to be above the 875 MHz Base / 928 MHz boost standard settings.
And since the board is pretty much the best single-GPU card even at those base settings (keeping up even with dual-GPU adapters actually), we can be sure that EVGA's monster will set a new standard.
