Assume money is not a factor (pretend you have the opportunity to pick a 2080 ti card for free or something).

Would be the liquid cooled ones I think. Don’t some brands do one with a preisntalled water block?The standard go-to recommendations for best GPUs from me goes to EVGA FTW, Asus ROG Strix, and MSI Gaming X. Now, there are some liquid cooled models that I know with the 1080 Ti were better because they kept it cool enough to keep from throttling a little. I just hate to think that a GPU that might be in use for 10 years would be liquid cooled, and a closed loop for that matter. You can do custom loops, but that's regular maintenance and I just don't like the idea of that either. So, I'd still probably get one of the three I always recommend. I prefer EVGA because I know their warranty and it allows for a lot including removing the fans and heatsink without voiding the warranty.
How does that Kingpin model OC on water and how does it compare to e.g. the RTX Titan?https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=11G-P4-2589-KR
As stated earlier, EVGA has excellent warranty terms and stellar customer service.
As far as gaming is concerned, all cards will be very close in the end, once overclocked. None of these cards overclock that far that you'd notice a profound difference between two, especially in a custom loop situation.
The kingpin should be the best available overclocking card. It is a hybrid card, and therefore no blocks are available for it.
What exactly are you trying to accomplish? And what are the needs for the best overclocking? Gaming? Record attempts?

No idea....I don't like closed loops. I'd break the AIO loop and run it with an external radiator. Should be fine that way, though. The card is subject to come creative OCing.How does that Kingpin model OC on water?
The Titan has a bit more than double the memory, a few more CUDAs, they both boost at 1770MHz, memory data rate is the same, Titan has about 30GT/s more texture fill rate....overall, the Titan has the potential to be a faster card (not worth the price differential to me), but the break-point for me is after sales service. I'd stick with EVGA based upon that alone.how does it compare to e.g. the RTX Titan?
