EVGA after title of most powerful graphics card with overclocked GTX 1080 Ti 'Kingpin' edition
Sometimes you just need
a little extra performance to run a new game and other times PC gamers are left
wondering if hardware will ever meet their expectations of providing lifelike
graphics. EVGA is aiming to satisfy gamers with extreme performance wishes and
take the crown of world's fastest graphics card for consumers.
The GTX 1080 Ti K|NGP|N is claimed to be the most capable
graphics card for overclocking compared to any other aftermarket cards. These
claims are not all smoke and mirrors either. Overclocking expert Vince Lucido
holds four world records using the Kingpin edition card named after him.
Notably, the
Kingpin edition is guaranteed to reach a clock speed of 2025Mhz utilizing the
on board iCX cooling system. If higher clocks or a reduction in size for this
behemoth of a card are desired, EVGA is offering their Hydro Copper Waterblock
to turn it into a single-slot liquid cooled monster.
In
order to fight for the title of fastest graphics card, a total of nine thermal
sensors were crammed onto the card for precise temperature readings of memory
and the digital VRM. Also, to aid stability when overclocking and to keep noise
down for enthusiasts, asynchronous fan control can be utilized so that each of
the three fans can be independently configured. Full control of the card,
including its RGB lighting, is available using EVGA Precision XOC software.
If
practical users exist for such a graphics card, three Mini DisplayPort 1.4
ports, one HDMI 2.0 port, and one dual-link DVI port can be found on the rear
to allow for a triple monitor setup. Although with an MSRP of $999, it is
unlikely that anyone with practicality in mind is after this model.
