Does anyone know how these two cards would stack up? my guess is they would be fairly equal considering the Kingpin is a highly overclocked Gtx 780ti.

So do you think they would be within 5% of each other? considering the Gtx 980 is only around 10% faster then a stock 780ti?
 
Even if both are equal the kingpin won't support all the new features built in the GTX 9xx series. This includes what should become direct X 11.3 and prolly Direct X 12 when it officially launched. Also Dynamic super resolution which can be seen as a improved version of Anti aliasing.

I just got the kingpin a day before the 980 and 970 where released I'm not butt hurt over it I'm going to keep my Kingpin I just wanted to see how the Kingpin stacked up and for some reason the Kingpin does support direct X 12 it says so on the Evga website so at least I can look forward to that. Well at least the Kingpin will beat a 970 without any trouble lol.

That's true, I think I'll be fine though I'm not interested in 4k the highest I'll go is 2k for gaming. As far as I'm concerned we are still not there yet in terms of single gpu performance. Crysis 3 at 4k destroys a single Gtx 980 hell even at 2K! so I guess we are going to have to wait for the Titan 2 or the 980Ti to see what they can do but honestly I doubt they will be able to run Crysis 3 at 60 fps at 4 k the performance and optimization simply isn't there.
