e as an overclocking
community have
struggled for
years on end to get the
motherboards we wanted,
the memory we required and
just about everything else
that we would consider to be
part of our arsenal. We’ve
pretty much managed to find
success in all spheres, except
when it comes to graphics
cards. This is not to say that
we don’t have the likes of the
Lightning, Matrix, HOF or
Classified cards. We have had
these for several years, but
each one, for some reason or
another required additional
investments which are not
obvious to the buyer. In fact
while all these products
were admirable pieces of
engineering, the end result
didn’t always warrant the
additional spend.
Finally with the EVGA GTX
780Ti Classified K|NGP|N
(that’s an extraordinarily long
name), we have a graphics
card that can truly claim to
have the graphics card that
competitive overclockers
have been requesting for
what seems to be an eternity.
Here we will not go into
what makes this an amazing
piece of engineering, we take
it for granted that it’s built
to the highest standards
(after all this is the work
of TiN and K|NGP|IN, so we
can’t fault its electrics) and
the results thus far prove
this. It is worth keeping in
mind though that we are
talking about results when
cooled via liquid nitrogen,
