Nice to see another AIO watercooling solution like the AMD R9 295X. This cooler will really make those GTX 980's fly and stay silent. :)

That's a god damned thing of beauty. They better do that with nVidia's next card.
 
The prices is what I'm interested in. That being said, still only 4GB models. I really think they are just too late to the party. Will people still buy it, sure they will. You can only refresh something so many times. I would rather hold off until the next wave of cards though.

I honestly think people that want more VRAM should wait for a card with more bandwidth. From my rough calculations at 4GB VRAM you're around 72 FPS on a 980. If you max out 8GB you'd be only able to supply 36 FPS.

Lol, not as bad as asus releasing thier 780 strix 6gb last year july..... Yes last year :eek:

But im with ya on the price thing.
 
From WCCF's report on these cards:

"An official shot shown by KingPin himself demonstrated the card reaching an overclocked speed of 2166 MHz core and 4451 MHz on air cooling which is a tremendous overclock pumping out 569.7 GB/s bandwidth. The default clock speed is configured around 1317 MHz for the core however those clock speeds are said to be preliminary and will be updated when the card launches. With these specifications, the card scored 20816 points in 3DMark Firestrike (Performance mode)."

I couldn't find this official shot, but that's pretty insane if this is to be believed. 2166MHz core, gaddamn
 
Kingpin cores are cherry picked, but I highly doubt the average consumer will come anywhere close to 2166 on air.

There may be less than 20 out of the hundreds distributed to consumers. Half of which will belong to people wanting a kingpin card only for the name. :D

Just insane though seeing how some 780 ti kingpins couldn't even surpass 780 ti classified s, both OC of course.

Wonder if the 980 version will run into the same issues

Blower to expel all hot air out the back?

Liquid AIO to prevent throttling?

White and Black color scheme to match the build I want?

Now this I can fap to.
 
I'll stick with my new Strix 980, I'm sick of evgas crop coolers on reference PCBs for pricing that you can get better from other companies

Well ok, with that OC and bandwidth now it would make sense to be 8GB!

Didn't he get about the same on LN2? It's hard to believe.
