I never got these cards since they release so close to the next gen.
It makes more sense when one factors in everything.
-Not everyone is willing to pound F5 at 6am on a Monday to hope to get a card at release
-Whenever NVidia releases a new card my first thought is always, great, I can't wait until someone else releases it since I don't want some hot loud piece of trash in my computer. FEs or stock coolers or whatever they're called today are just garbage.
I think $1k is lol_pricing, but damn just look at it! On that note, why don't more manufacturers post pictures of the side profile of the card, what 99% of people will actually see when opening up or looking in their computer?
The Kingpin series have always been targeted for professional overclockers. As such they are some of the most tweakable cards out there. EVGA also tends to include things that other companies don't like easier ways of doing voltage mods or measuring with external voltmeters, etc.Huh?? Wtf makes that woth a grand?
I am getting an Asus Poseidon tomorrow and I'm already disgusted they are 829.99.
That was likely done to save space for all the other shit on the card. Judging by the amount of copper I can see, this thing could probably double as a boat anchor.Mini DPs on a gamer's GPU? That's something you don't see everyday. The last time I saw those on a card, let alone gaming card, was on one of the AMD's 6 display Firepros I think, had 6 mini DPs.
When I see EVGA Released Kingpin, I instantly think that new video cards are coming out 4-6 months! laugh

Damn my DP cable is outdated already you would be hard pressed to find a decent mini displayport cable that would work with this since most monitors don't include them. I hope this isn't a standard down the road and just a design with limited space on the card. I thought doing away with DVI on the FE cards was bad enough. I had problems just finding a decent Displayport to DVI adapter connector I got parnoid and picked up x4 of them on ebay.
My old 6950 has 2 of them. I upgraded from a 5850 and was plugging in the monitors and was like crap, now I have to order a new cable for my main screen, so I just ran 2 monitors till the new cable arrived.Mini DPs on a gamer's GPU?

The heatsink is copper-plated nickel. Nickel is more expensive than copper. But still, it's only like $4.50 a pound.That is one sexy expensive beast. Love all that copper. Probably a hundred bucks worth in that cooler lol.
Now why would you do that? You nickel-plate copper to keep it from corroding. But using nickel as a heatsink and copper-plating it would be a really bad idea. Because nickel is a much poorer thermal conductor than copper, and then you plate it with copper which will corrode over time to add insult to injury!? /facedeskThe heatsink is copper-plated nickel.

I have no idea. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure I read this in a post on the EVGA forum.Now why would you do that? You nickel-plate copper to keep it from corroding.
