EVGA Shows Off GeForce GTX 980 Classified K|NGP|N Edition and GeForce GTX 980 Hydro Copper At CES 2022

At their CES 2022 booth, EVGA had the chance to showcase their beastly GeForce GTX 980 Classified K|NGP|N Edition graphics carte du jour along with the GeForce GTX 980 Hydro Copper. Both cards are based on NVIDIA's Maxwell GM204 core architecture and pumped with higher mill overclock and beefed upward PCBs which deliver amazing overclocking potential over the reference variants.

Coming in the next few weeks, both the GeForce GTX 980 Classified Yard|NGP|Northward and GeForce GTX 980 Hydro copper are aimed towards enthusiasts and overclockers who demand the best. Starting off with the GTX 980 KPE which has been teased several times earlier, the carte is based on the GM204 GPU with 2048 CUDA Cores, 128 TMUs and 64 ROPs. The card sticks with the 4 GB GDDR5 memory motorbus which operates along a 256-bit omnibus interface yet the clock speeds remain unknown. An official shot shown by KingPin himself demonstrated the menu reaching an overclocked speed of 2166 MHz core and 4451 MHz on air cooling which is a tremendous overclock pumping out 569.vii GB/s bandwidth. The default clock speed is configured effectually 1317 MHz for the core however those clock speeds are said to be preliminary and will be updated when the card launches. With these specifications, the card scored 20816 points in 3DMark Firestrike (Performance manner).

While the core clock remains to be seen, the menu comes with dandy aesthetics adopting a large aluminum or plastic shroud which has acrylic cut outs all over the frame. There are three GeForce GTX 980 Classified labels scattered on the forepart and sides of the shroud which emit RGB colors to add together a expert bear upon to the card when its operating. The colors are adjustable by the user and are non much bright at all. The carte du jour features dual PWM fans which regulate air towards the cardinal heatsink chamber fabricated upwardly of two aluminum fin blocks which are interconnected through several heatpipes (around 6-eight heatpipes in total). Much of the central heatsink layout tin be seen through the acrylic cut outs on the shroud.

The PCB is an extended version like the i featured on the previous Kingpin edition cards to comprise more than VRMs and phases for improved stability and power delivery. The PCB comes with a support bracket and base plate that adopts a dragon theme as can exist seen in i of the pictures posted by Kingpin himself. It also comes with a large dorsum plate which features cut outs for several voltage points. Of course, EVGA has featured their enthusiast grade Evebot connector on the PCB and a triple BIOS supporting Normal, OC and LN2 modes for the graphics carte du jour. The power commitment of the card is just insane featuring two 8-Pivot connectors and a single 6-Pin connector and was even shown running on their booth. One of the peachy features about the card is its single slot design. The EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Classified Chiliad|NGP|North ships with both single and dual slot brackets and is a good addon for many users who want to use water blocks on the card and demand to become SLI in the future to conserve space for maximum airflow. Display outputs include a DVI, HDMI 2.0 and three mini display ports. The bill of fare is expected to hitting retail this quarter at a premium cost point.

EVGA's GeForce GTX 980 Hydro Copper Makes An Apperance

EVGA also showcased their GeForce GTX 980 Hydro Copper AIO (All-In-One) edition graphics carte du jour at CES 2022. Although the Hydro Copper name is for internal use past EVGA merely, they have yet advertised the carte as HC AIO. Coming to the specifications, the card adopts the reference GeForce GTX 980 blueprint nevertheless adopts liquid cooling through a looped cooling design and cooled by a 120mm radiator. The clock speeds for the Hydro Copper are not known at the moment except that it has a reference PCB design and standard display outputs. The menu launches this month for a toll tag around the $599 US range. Do sentry the entire presentation of the EVGA CES 2022 booth courtesy of Youtuber, JayzTwoCents below:
