EVGA announces Geforce 980 TI K|NGP|N

by on21 July 2015


Master overclocking card

EVGA has been teasing  that the K|NGP|N will use a custom overclocking Geforce 980 TI card for ages, but we have had to adopt a wait-and-see approach to see what this looks like. 

The wait is over and the EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti K|NGP|N is out with a few tricks up its sleeve. The card has a 14+3 power phase design and a new digitally controlled VRM which can deliver up to 600A of current, through three power inputs. This is great for overclocking the card. One of these cards scored a whooping 12233 in 3Dmark Fire Strike Extreme. 

The card is based on pre-binned GPUs and it has the ability to go into a single slot. It comes with an ACX 2.0+ cooled.

EVGA is introducing the new way to purchase the overclocked card and it calls it the Ultimate OC Project.  EVGA is introducing a way to select your approximate GPU ASIC (approximate OC performance) quality before purchasing. EVGA will not guarantee that you will reach specific speeds but you should not be far off what you want.

The card includes quite a few features including

Built for Overclocking

  • Custom LED ControlChange the colour of your card through software with EVGA PrecisionX.
  • 12 Layer PCBRobust PCB layout with extra copper for smooth power delivery.
  • 14+3 Phase Fully Digital VRMImproved efficiency, power capacity, and an average of 28C cooler operating temperature.
  • ACX 2.0+ Cooling + Metal ShroudImproved cooling with lower fan power consumption and 4X longer fan lifespan. All surrounded in a premium metal shroud.
  • dB InverterEVGA’s ACX 2.0+ fan turns
  • EVBot Connector Onboard – Allows robust tuning and control over all aspects of the graphics card.
  • Included K|NGP|N Backplate – Built on backplate provides rigidity, plus backlight feature enables full control over brightness and colour.
  • MMCPMemory/MOSFET Cooling Plate+ provides direct contact with memory and MOSFETs reducing temperature.
  • OTS – Onboard thermal sensors allow for automatic real-time extreme overclock tuning to achieve the highest OC possible.
  • Probe-It Connector – Easily monitor your voltages in real-time with a Voltmeter.
  • Quick Switch Triple BIOS – Easily switch between three BIOSes with the flick of a switch.
  • SHP – Straight Heat Pipes offer 6% better heat dissipation than bent heat pipes with reduced thermal resistance.
  • Single Slot ReadyIncluded single slot bracket allows you to convert to a true single slot card with waterblock.

The card will be available as of July 22nd and the 72%+ ASIC based card will sell for €929.99, 74 per cent + for €989.99, 76 per cent + for €1089.99 and finally 80%+ for a whooping €1149.99. This should be the best overclocking card around and should assure you will be the king of the block even if you can't afford to ever leave home again.
