GeForce GTX 780 Ti Overclocked to 1.9 GHz by K|NGP|N

[giovanni86]

This was entertaining. Comments wise i enjoyed this back and forth momentum, i was entertained, thank you. Let's revert back to what this is, this is an overclocker who wants to break numbers and set records, and he did. Whether or not this is possible with a Nvidia card you first should ask yourself can you afford LN2? If you can good for you, the closest thing to it is water cooling or phase changing and unless LN2 is some how cheap these days i could of sworn it runs around 10k. Anywho, nice article, but the 780ti is nothing but an overpriced card that with its stock clock and its numbers are disappointed next to the 290x. Once manufacturers come out with a custom cooler this next month it will scream over this card and nvidia should be very afraid, its losing me.

Reading the comments was a good read. Thank you for that.

Glad to have provided so much entertainment. 😀

LN2. *fart*

I like how this Kingpin card runs at the exact same voltage that my reference EVGA 780 Ti 's run at. The difference being that I can't go past 1150 MHz boosted 24/7.

So when will theis be available for 24/7 applications... ofc it's never - So in reality its totally useless!

While you don't have any monitors that can do 3D 4K resolutions just yet, there are TVs that can. Mine is capable of doing so. Mine even has the newer HDMI 2.0 ports, but unfortunately, there are no video cards that can do 4K resolution at 60Hz just yet, at least not through the HDMI port. In case you're wondering which 3d 4K TV I have, it's the Sony XBR-55X850A. Believe me, when I figure out a great 4K gaming scheme that runs at the 60FPS goal, I'll be more than happy to share with you all. Also, for those of you who complain about 4K being "Unplayable" at 30Hz, let me help you with that thinking. It's not - Unplayable, it's just not what you would like or prefer. I can easily play any of my games - FPS, MMO, Strategy, etc, at the full 4K resolution. . . it's just not as smooth as I'd "Like," but it's fully playable. Just give it sometime, 4K gaming is new and the video card people will eventually get us there.

Please Santa I want one of them!!!!

Maybe I am just blind, but there was no info on the Disk used. Disk is also very important in frame rates. Probably it was some HDD. If PCIE SSD would be used the frame rates would be much higher.

Unless you are playing a poorly optimized game, SSD would only affect load time, not FPS. Everything should be loaded into ram before it's rendered, so FPS is totally unaffected (theoretically).

There is so much back and forth from people who are so confident they KNOW what they were talking about, yet palladin9479 was the only one who actually knew what they were talking about.

Manufacturers buy chips from Nvidia and put them on boards. For some chips (Titan, Tesla, Quadro), manufacturers are required by contract to only use the reference board and cooler design if they want to buy chips. For most GeForce chips, however, manufacturers can do whatever they want with the card. If manufactures come up with a custom PCB/cooler, they are free to use it on the cards they sell.

The part that confuses people is warranty support. Each manufacturer offers warranty support for the cards that they sell. If a manufacturer has to exchange a defective reference-deisgn card via RMA then Nvidia pays them a refund for the defective card because the flaw was in Nvidia's chip, PCB design, or cooler. When manufacturers come up with a custom card or cooler design that they want to have warrantied by Nvidia they must submit it through Nvidia's GreenLight program. If Nvidia passes the card design then manufacturers can sell it and still get rebates from Nvidia for broken cards. If Nvidia doesn't pass it then the manufacturer can still sell it, they will just have to eat the cost of RMA'd cards themselves.

In MSI's case, they had a Power Edition design greenlit by Nvidia and then tweaked it after it was approved to allow for more voltage to the GPU core. Nvidia got mad when they found this out and made them change the design back to the approved one before they would continue to offer MSI rebates for RMA'd Power Edition cards.

In this case, EVGA created this design and didn't even bother having it submitted for the GreenLight program because they knew Nvidia would never approve it. Any K|NGP|N cards RMA'd back to EVGA will be repaired/replaced out of EVGA's pocket. They will not get rebates from Nvidia.

Such graphics. Such spam. Wow.

 

[BroHamBone]

So...yea. Nice OC there. Bring back the evbot evga so I can buy one at a reasonable price instead of inflated resale prices.

Cure cancer with that card, folding@home!

Yep.
I've tested over FIFTY games so for drive access, and mostly the SSD or HDD is only accessed during the initial game start, a level load, transition load (map or entering building) or an in-game save.

It's not hard to find a benchmark that never touches the drive during the critical testing period.

I buy it by the truckload for work. $0.32 per liquid gallon. So no not 10K. It isnt even 10K for us to fill up our 3000 gallon tank.

That´s very interesting, it says that we can overclock A LOT that board, but it´s not very usefull, since it´s unpractical use liquid nitrogen. I think it would be more interestig to know what clock can we reach in this board on a regular Water Cooler solution, and that would be usable for many hours, without damaging the board.

 

[eddieroolz]

Can we take a moment and recognize that 2GHz GPU's are possible sooner than expected?

 

[soundgardener]

"That said, undoubtedly warranties were probably void."

That sentence undoubtedly needs editing (probably).

 

[Leamon]

Alright fine. Not 4K 3D with this card. But 3-way SLI? I'd say yes. Overclocking a GPU has nearly a 1:1 performance increase, so doubling the speed, x3, that's the POWER OF 8640 CUDA CORES RUNNING AT DOUBLE SPEED! Although there's no way in hell you could get 3 stable cards at the same time... Just love nerding out some times.

difference between K|NGP|N and every one else he have money and time to do what he want to do

 

[chazzeromus]

I can't even run Crysis 3 in 2D.

 

[Tavo_Nova]

as far as I can understand what palladin is saying.

when company like evga or msi or whatnot makes something out of the standard that nvidia slaps on their card = nvidia won't provide warranty for the said company.

so consumers like us still has warranty to those company (evga) but evga has to swallow the cost.

taking the kingpin as an example.

I'm new to the forums and would like to know whay I can buy a domestic LN2 system from. My buddy says I can plumb it through a CPU Water (LNG) block and have two of these running in SLI with Full Cover Water (LNG) Blocks connected in series - can anyone think of anything I've overlooked?

The fact that you want toe use LN2. You are better off buying the latest and greatest, with 4 sli ti 780s with custom liquid cooling.
