14 DAY TRIAL // The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Ti graphics card was meant to be the fastest single-GPU graphics card on the market, and it actually lived up to that expectation, but EVGA wants to overpower it even further.
To that end, it has prepared the GeForce GTX 780 Ti Classified K|ngp|n Edition, a factory-overclocked board with extensive manual overclocking support.
Truth be told, EVGA isn't the first to tweak the newcomer, and it definitely won't be the last. NVIDIA's OEMs all use the same tactics after all, like AMD's partners do for that matter.
Still, EVGA means for the GeForce GTX 780 Ti Classified K|ngp|n Edition to be the best among its fellows and, by extension, the fastest single-GPU video board ever.
We can't confirm beyond all doubt whether or not this is true. After all, EVGA has yet to actually disclose the technical specifications.
The reference board has a GPU clock of 875 MHz though (2,880 CUDA cores), and a GPU Boost maximum of 928 MHz.
To really be the best available, EVGA's K|ngp|n will have to reach, surpass really, 1 GHz, and by quite a bit.
After all, we already have 1085 MHz Gigabyte GTX 780 TI GHz Edition and, more importantly, the Triple-Fan Zotac GTX 780 Ti AMP! with 1006 MHz Base / 1072 MHz Boost speeds. The latter was even overclocked to 1222 MHz.
On that note, EVGA's GeForce GTX 780 Ti Classified K|ngp|n Edition has a strong VRM powering the GK110 GPU and 3 GB memory, three power inputs (one 6-pin and two 8-pin PCI Express power connectors), redundant BIOS, voltage measurement points, marked-out spots for volt-mods (and EVGA Epower board) and fewer screws for the cooler (a white, transparent contraption).
Needless to say, EVGA's EVBot overclocking utility will be supported, along with the rest of the company's software.
