1 00:00:06,560 --> 00:00:13,759 For the ultimate no compromises compact gaming PC, look no further than the 2 00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:20,640 Obsidian Series 250D from Corsair. Click now to learn more. The EVGA GeForce GTX 3 00:00:17,199 --> 00:00:24,880 780 Ti Kingpin Edition. It comes with a 4 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:26,800 1072 MHz base clock, an 1137 MHz boost 5 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:30,560 clock, but all of that is totally irrelevant because it is designed for 6 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:37,600 balls to the walls overclocking anyway. It's got 3 gigs of GDDDR5 clocked at 7 7 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:39,200 GHz and it costs $150 more than a base 8 00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:44,800 card. So, what do you get for your money? Well, first up, you get a six 9 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:46,879 heat pipe dual 100 mm fan cooler with a 10 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:52,000 removable PWM heat sink. It's that little red unisync down there. Next up, 11 00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:55,840 you get a unique translucent ACX cooler design. So, the regular one is black. 12 00:00:53,840 --> 00:01:01,199 This one is different. It supports the usual NVIDIA technology. So, SLI up to 13 00:00:58,719 --> 00:01:05,680 four-way G-Sync Shield game streaming GPU Boost 2.0 CUDA and four concurrent 14 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:10,479 displays. And this one also has some unusual stuff. So, in the box, along 15 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:15,920 with the usual case badge, poster, stickers, driver disc, and manual, is an 16 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:17,920 overclocking guide, sexy sleeved PCIe 17 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:21,280 power adapters, and a replacement thermal pad. Cuz you never know when 18 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:26,320 you're going to need a replacement thermal pad. What else is special about 19 00:01:23,439 --> 00:01:31,040 this? Well, it uses a completely non-reference PCB with a 14 plus 20 00:01:29,119 --> 00:01:36,560 threephase power design. So that's 14 phases GPU, three phases RAM, capable of 21 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:41,200 delivering up to 450 watts of power, which I guess explains 22 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:44,640 the dual 8 pin and single six pin PCI Express power connectors on the top of 23 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:49,520 the card. It also has on the top of the card an LN2 BIOS switch as well as a 24 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:53,200 Probit header and included adapter that allows you to use a multimeter instead 25 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:57,040 of software for voltage monitoring. Right next to that, we've got, speaking 26 00:01:55,119 --> 00:02:01,680 of voltage monitoring, LED indicators that show the voltage health for the 27 00:01:58,399 --> 00:02:03,759 GPU, RAM, PLLL, and 3.3 volt and 12volt 28 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:06,640 power inputs. When we move around to the back of the card, I guess there's also 29 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:10,239 SLI connectors up there. When we move around to the back of the card, we find 30 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:13,599 an EVBOT header. So, that is hardware level real-time voltage and clock speed 31 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:18,000 adjustments that can be made with the EVBOT dongle that's available from EVGA. 32 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:22,000 And then the last thing, you know, I guess there's like there's a cool, you know, back plate on it. The last thing 33 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:26,080 is not in the box, but it's more of an available thing. EK has a classified 34 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:30,640 edition water block that will work on the Kingpin edition card. And of course, 35 00:02:28,640 --> 00:02:34,720 there are Kingpin's own liquid nitrogen cooling pots if you do decide to get 36 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:39,120 even more extreme than that. Okay, Lionus, this is a cool card, but what 37 00:02:36,640 --> 00:02:43,280 about NVIDIA Greenlight? The voltages and clock speeds will be limited for 38 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:49,360 warranty purposes, right? Out of the box, perhaps, but I think Kingpin 39 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:51,440 himself put it best. quote unquote, "Do 40 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:56,800 you think I would put my name on a locked down card?" He said, "This card 41 00:02:54,319 --> 00:03:01,920 was engineered to serve one purpose, to be the world's best overclocking 42 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:08,959 graphics card. Expect GPU clock speeds over 1.85 GHz with extreme cooling." 43 00:03:06,159 --> 00:03:14,400 So, I'll refer to the official owners club thread here where you can uh easily 44 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:17,920 find unofficial tools because out of the box, you know, it's got to be limited 45 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:22,000 unofficial tools to completely unlock the card and release it from any 46 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:26,159 manufacturer limitations. you will be limited by physics, not by safety with 47 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:31,200 this graphics card. Which means that while EVGA has a three-year warranty, 48 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:35,120 um, if you do need to return it to them for some reason, you will need to do so 49 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:38,720 with the stockpile, stock cooling, and everything back in out of box condition. 50 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:44,159 But whatever you do with it in between it arriving and then coming back to them 51 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:46,879 in out of box condition is your own 52 00:03:44,159 --> 00:03:50,000 thing. Now, to be clear, guys, around here, we're not Vince. We're not 53 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:55,920 Kingpin. not liquid nitrogen overclockers. Um, but frankly, not many 54 00:03:52,879 --> 00:03:57,680 people are. So, we wanted to take a bit 55 00:03:55,920 --> 00:04:01,760 of a different approach to this. We decided to take some of these unofficial 56 00:03:59,599 --> 00:04:08,239 unlocking tools and see how far we could go with this on air versus a normal 780 57 00:04:04,319 --> 00:04:10,319 Ti that costs $150 less if we fully 58 00:04:08,239 --> 00:04:16,239 unlock it and we use the, you know, voltage modification tool to go as high 59 00:04:12,319 --> 00:04:18,320 as it possibly can compared to a regular 60 00:04:16,239 --> 00:04:21,359 780 Ti. So, I'll be handing it off to Luke. Wish him luck. 61 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:26,160 I've called a lot of things beasts throughout the times that I've been on video, but I think it's pretty hard to 62 00:04:24,479 --> 00:04:31,759 get this close to the actual definition of beast. This card is ridiculous. It's 63 00:04:27,919 --> 00:04:34,240 running at 1333 MHz on the core clock as 64 00:04:31,759 --> 00:04:39,120 overclocked as it is right now and about 7,700 65 00:04:35,840 --> 00:04:41,680 MHz on memory. Both of those things are 66 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:46,639 ridiculous. And we're using an unofficial overvolultting tool which is 67 00:04:43,759 --> 00:04:49,360 unofficially linked below the unofficial video that you're watching right now 68 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:55,280 which will take you to an unofficial place to download the unofficial application which will unofficially 69 00:04:52,639 --> 00:04:59,360 overvolt your card which I unofficially recommend you do for this card. I also 70 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:02,639 recommend jumping it into LN2 BIOS because you'll unlock many more of the 71 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:06,320 goodies and be able to play with the actual capabilities of this card. 72 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:11,199 without jumping into that BIOS, you're going to be hampered by many things that are cramping you down, cramping your 73 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:14,240 style, and not letting you overclock as much as you possibly could. And this 74 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:20,479 thing does it extremely well. When you're looking at the numbers on screen, try to remember that we're pretty sure 75 00:05:17,280 --> 00:05:23,280 our 780 Ti uh reference edition is 76 00:05:20,479 --> 00:05:27,039 probably quite golden of a sample and is a little bit higher than kind of the 77 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:31,039 average that I've seen around. So, this would normally be a higher difference um 78 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:34,960 than you're seeing in the graphs here, but this is how our cards bench at what 79 00:05:33,199 --> 00:05:38,479 they're normally clocked at. Speaking of normally clocked at, you can check the 80 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:41,840 overclocking sheet in the link down below. That is definitely an official 81 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:45,199 link, not unofficial like the other link that's down there. Um, and you can check 82 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:50,160 out exactly how our cards are clocked and exactly how they're running. For this one, we actually have voltage 83 00:05:47,759 --> 00:05:53,120 readouts from a multimeter, so you can see exactly how much volts are running 84 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:56,479 because this card supports pin out, which is actually really cool. Thank you 85 00:05:55,039 --> 00:05:59,919 for watching the video. Like and dislike this video based on are you interested 86 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:02,880 in this kind of card or are you kind of waiting for Maxwell to come out? Are you 87 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:06,960 waiting for things in the future? Are you jumping on it right now? Uh comment 88 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:12,160 down below with that and maybe comment on the forums too. You'll get a lot more interaction there like normal. Always 89 00:06:10,319 --> 00:06:15,199 subscribe to Linus Tech Tips and just in case you haven't seen in the last little 90 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:18,720 while, our Star Citizen group is ranked number one on activity right now. So 91 00:06:17,280 --> 00:06:23,550 check that out on the forum too under the PC gaming section and be sure to 92 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:34,939 apply. 93 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:46,850 Hey,
