It was simply a matter of time until EVGA would launch their GTX 1080 Ti K|NGP|N Edition. These cards are usually as fast as it gets and therefore the absolute flagship that can be bought. Already a few weeks ago, Vince "K|NGP|N" Lucido uploaded a few 3DMark scores in order to show some numbers. Today the card has been unveiled and there are new details.


The EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti K|NGP|N Edition already looks massive and powerful. The cooler they’re using is an improved version of their iCX or FTW3 module which can be found on several EVGA graphics cards. The card features a dual slot heatsink and a dense aluminum fin stack that has been combined with three fans. The entire cooler has been kept in black and there is a solid backplate presenting the EVGA logo and K|NGP|N's signature.

So far there are still no details on the clock speeds, however due to the juicy power design it’s safe to assume that this model will ship with a massive overclock already from the factory. According to EVGA, this card will work at 2025 MHz out of the box when overclocked. In the past the K|NGP|N graphics cards from EVGA always came with substantial factory overclocks and clock speeds will certainly be higher than with most other factory-overclocked cards. The GTX 1080 Ti Founders Edition works at 1480MHz/1582MHz Core/Boost frequencies and we expect a decent factory overclock on the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti K|NGP|N Edition as well. Since there are already custom GTX 1080 Ti running in the 15xxMHz/17xxMHz Core/Boost frequency range, we might see something similar also from EVGA as well.

Unlike the MSI GTX 1080 Ti Lightning Z or the GALAX GTX 1080 Ti HoF graphics, on this card there are “only” two 8-pin power connectors. Regarding connectors we find the non-standard ports: three mini-DisplayPorts 1.3 connectors, one HDMI 2.0b and one dual-link DVI port. Since all ports are in one line, it's possible to remove the bracket and create a single slot graphics card with the right water block.

As of today there is no date available when this card will hit the shelves of your local retailer but we are sure, when that happens, the card will be expensive.
