EVGA's GTX 780 Ti Kingpin Edition is rumored to launch soon.

VideoCardz.com reports that EVGA is preparing to launch a GTX 780 Ti Kingpin edition. Now, while this may sound like just another funny name for yet another GTX 780 Ti variant, for those of you who don't know, Vince Lucido, or "k|ngp|n" is an extreme overclocker who regularly sets world records with GPUs.

The card is rumored to feature 6 GB of GDDR5 memory as well as an unlocked voltage sweetened with no limit on the TDP. A little snippet of the cooler has been teased; it has a carbon fiber effect, which obviously makes the card 100 BlingyHz faster.

Sadly, that's all we know about the card, except that EVGA will be releasing it in December.

    Given the title of the article, I must wonder:

    what other market could a kIngpIn GPU be targeting?

    "it has a carbon fiber effect, which obviously makes the card 100 BlingyHz faster."

    This must be like taking your headlight out of your car and force injecting air for 100 HP increase.

    Hurry up pricing!!

    contrary to popular belief, a kidney is worth $5000 from the average black market buyer (quick google search). one kidney can buy an awful lot of hardware :D
