Classified 980 Ti ?

Don't have the funds spare at the moment due to crimbo ^_^

For me there's not much point anyway as this monitor is 144Hz 1440P and G-Sync adds about as much as Freesync, Yes it's nice but I personally don't really notice it once I go over 60FPS.

Update

Managed to get 1500/2000 stable on the classy with a max of 1.20v so it looks to be a good one.

Passed both Unigines, Firestrike, Extreme, 11, Vantage, Arkham Knight bench and 20 minutes of PCARS :)

YOU NEED MOAAARRR 1500/2000 aint good enough. Also careful with the benchs, when I was picking my cards, every now and then there would be a card that would pass the benchs etc without issues, however after stressing it over a longer period of time like 2-3 days, it would crash.

Nice!

Thinking about this whole Freesync/GSync issue - I think we've got it backwards maybe. Nvidia obviously don't want to give it away for free. AMD are going the better route imho in using an open standard.

If the technologies are not that dissimilar, I wonder why the top end monitors don't just cater for both. That is - have a Gsync module plus be natively freesync/adaptivesync compliant.

Yeah would cost extra but for flexibility it would be a winner. Especially for premium monitors that tend to outlast most peoples GPU setups.

Won't work. You use a custom Scalar for the Gsync monitor that only works with Nvidia cards and they have it work only through there one Displayport. It's all locked down.

Ahh that's a shame. I was hoping it could just be a switchable thing.

I guess it would require a specific port just for Gsync then on a complete different circuit? That would put the price up way too much then. Bloody proprietary bs..

Still was a nice thought for a couple of minutes :)

I honestly really really don't like the look of them, The gloss finish and the overly plastic feel, Not my cup of tea ^_^

Oh and, It's so purdy :D

Maybe some people like the design of the Kingpin ;)

But apart from the copper which makes diddly squats difference to the cooling over the Classified, There isn't anything different in the looks department apart from having "Kingpin" on there in white instead of "Classified" in red and you are paying around £200 extra if you're going purely for looks as the performance in 9/10 cases I've seen isn't any better at all over the Classified and/or some reference 980 Ti's XD

That is the thing some people will do something like that.

True that.

There was a guy on here when the 780 Ti Kingpin was launching going on literally page after page *In REALLY bad broken english* about how he was justifying it over a reference 780 Ti because of the sky high clocks.

When he got it it clocked to 1200 on the core and 7400 on the memory, Meanwhile my reference 780 Ti clocked to 1250 on the core and 7600 on the memory which cost around £300 less :D

It is really only design to do one thing with cooling on LN2 only.

True but buying it over the Classified for air cooling or even water cooling when you will get no performance differences just for the different named branding on the top of the card seems nuts to me ^_^

It will actually be a bit worse. Classifieds are ambient optimized, KPE's sub ambient. Pretty easy to brain really.
