That copper. :-0 Titan X price range ?
Webhiker
Here I was, ready to push the BUY button on an Gigabyte GeForce GTX 980 Ti G1 Gaming. Damn you EVGA. Decisions decisions.
skaut
No way ! it goes up to 2000Mhz on boost !
3D Mark FireStrike:
980 Ti - 7841
980 Ti Kingpin (2000Mhz) - 12233 !!!
Retailer say that it will be £720 - £750 in UK. Don`t know which version thou.

Saw this on OC3D
80%+ ASIC $1049.99
76%+ ASIC $999.99
74%+ ASIC $899.99
72%+ ASIC $849.99
Turanis
At that prices the ASIC is too low.
What if after 6m-1year the nv not cripp the drivers again as do with 780. :giggle2:
moab600
overpriced all way and not worth it at all.
Turanis
Yes.
Its compact,looks good&cool with coopper but ASIC&prices not worth it.
And btw 2x8pin + 1x6pin is too much for a 28nm card,imo.

You obviously have no idea what this card is. This card is made for LN2. Anyone buying this for air/water is wasting money.

Except for the fact that you can change it over to a single slot and thus run two or three cards on smaller motherboards.
Would be great in a smaller system on water.

now we just have to wait for a waterblock to fit those mosefets! 🙁

90+ or nothing!

So if I'd want to grab one of those, it'd be a decision between 72% or 80% then... everything in between doesn't really make the rise in cost worthy (2% ASIC difference is ignorable, just like ASIC itself to some people).
I wonder if this card supports the (in)famous I2C commands.

Well my 980 has a 73.5% ASIC, and hits over 1500MHz fine
I read a few sites saying ASIC makes no difference to OCing, others saying the opposite
It's core voltage leakage or something right?
fantaskarsef
Afaik, yes. But on the other hand, if you change the method of cooling towards water or even LN2, any leakage does produce less 'performance loss', as you need less voltage to get to the boost bins anyway.
Iirc there have been some custom BIOSs for cards with lower and higher ASIC, where the boost and power tables have been adopted to take a little more or little less voltage for the same speeds (as seen on overclock.net's 980 overclocking thread).

Yea, I decided to never flash GPU BIOSs again after killing a 6850 a few years ago lol
MSI AB is the only GPU modding I do these days 😀

No reviews yet, but the Evga Classified 980 Ti KingPin had already made it's mark on Fire Strike.

So EVGA bins cards that has a high ASIC and charge a premium for them. Does that mean that all the other reference cards are crap regarding ASIC? The Silicon lottery is part of the fun in seeing "how good your card will overclock".
Seems EVGA want to now charge a premium for this, i dont think i will bother with EVGA tbh in the future, only thing they had going for them was Evbot and they pretty much killed that.

I don't pay any attention to it tbh. Never checked my new cards.

I'm sorry but EVGA is dead to me until they get rid of that horrid ACX 2.0 crap cooling. I have tested every 980 Ti released and the best? A Zotac Amp Extreme for $699 that is at 1550 core stable at 69C load! All the EVGAs I tested were horrid overclockers and run hotter than the G1s, the MSI and especially the Amp Extreme.
Thanks but no thanks EVGA.

Just checked 75% and 71%.
