EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti CLASSIFIED VS EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti K|NGP|N ?

Mohamed Attar · Mar 5, 2016

Can someone tell me whats the real difference between these two?
Im not into OC, if I did do OC I wont do extreme OC

Is it worth spending extra on K|NGP|N

K|NGP|N one comes with higher Base / boost clock out the box, and also need more power from the PCI cables, it need 8+8+6pin to work. Check that with your psu before going for it.

If you arent into OC the SC will be enough

Their difference is that the kingpin has better cooling, higher TDP=it can take more power from your PSU, and it spreads power better resulting in better overclocking

The K|NGP|N comes with a cool custom-designed backplate and has a slightly better cooling pipe design. Other than that nothing more than factory overclock speeds since both have back plates. The Classified is slightly faster out of the box at 1190MHz core speed vs. 1102 core speed of the K|NGP|N.

If I were in the market, I'd get the K|NGP|N. Both cards though have the ACX 2.0+ cooler, the latest from EVGA, so they'll both overclock well. So what's more important to you? Potentially being able to overclock more or having a cool looking "K|NGP|N" back plate on your card? Both cards are similar in price.

I have EVGA 1000 watt PSU so its more than enough, i want to OC but im not one of those guys who spend hours to OC his VGA
The price of classified and K|NGP|N is different its more expensive in K|NGP|N

I think classified is more than enough

It must be where you are located then. Here in the US they are similar in price.

In any event, if you aren't interested in overclocking much, the Classified offers you a higher factory clock speed out of the box. So you would only need to minimally overclock it to get a decent boost (like say +150MHz for a base clock of 1340). The K|NGP|N would have to come from behind with an overclock of +238MHz just to get the same base clock speed.

Ah.... that the SC and the classified, im talking about CLASSIFIED VS K|NGP|N
K|NGP|N is expensive

Now I see. For whatever reason the search came up with an SC instead of K|NGP|N...I didn't even look closely. I had to really do a search to find one (and they are not on NewEgg).

But my comments still ring true: the Classified is the better value. The K|NGP|N is more marketing hype. Also, it has a manual switch for upping voltage on the card itself. Kind of pointless since that can be controlled through EVGA's Precision X or MSI's Afterburner GPU software.

If you arent oCing classified is too much too..

Mohamed Attar · Mar 5, 2016

I will get the classified
