EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti Classified Kingpin Edition Pictured
Here are some of the first pictures of EVGA's flagship GeForce GTX 980 Ti based graphics card, the Classified Kingpin Edition. Designed and tuned by the legendary overclocker himself, the card will be the fastest GTX 980 Ti offering out of the box, by EVGA. It begins with a large PCB (though not as tall as the one on ASUS Strix), which draws power from a combination of one 6-pin and two 8-pin PCIe power connectors; conditioning it for the GPU using a 15-phase VRM, capable of an obscene amount of current at 600A, letting you stabilize your overclock.
The cooling solution is a copper mine, with a large all-copper base, from which 8 mm-thick copper heat pipes convey heat to a copper-fin array; which is ventilated by a pair of temperature-activated 100 mm spinners. The company didn't disclose clock speeds, but is hopeful of selling the fastest GTX 980 Ti in the market, which means its clock speeds could be in the same ball park as ZOTAC's GTX 980 Ti AMP Extreme.

I mean 100+ FPS on 4K res isn't an easy task, even for a Titan-X SLI setup. Sure you can dream, but please be reasonable!
They made a fancy cooler for a graphics card that shouldn't even come with a cooler because it's in theory aimed at LN2 overclockers, guess it doesn't hurt trying to sell to people who just buy things because of fancy names.
Single player games without latency requirements etc don't need 60fps. User choice yes. I'm just happy my heaven is easier to achieve than yours.
