btarunr · Jul 30, 2015

EVGA has once again raised the bar with three new 3DMark Single Card World Records. Armed with liquid nitrogen cooling, an EVGA X99 motherboard, EVGA high performance Power Supplies, an EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti K|NGP|N graphics card running at over 2GHz and EVGA PrecisionX 16 overclocking software, Vince "K|NGP|N" Lucido was able to reach new heights in 3DMark Fire Strike, Fire Strike Extreme and Fire Strike Ultra presets.

3DMark Fire Strike = 25,233
3DMark Fire Strike Extreme = 13,091
3DMark Fire Strike Ultra = 6,988

These new World Records show EVGA's commitment to the enthusiast with unparalleled high performance products and software. Learn more about the EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti K|NGP|N graphics card here.

I believe Vince “K|NGP|N” Lucido said it here more objectively...

I find it interesting that this was done with a 780 Ti and not a Titan X. Can someone explain to me why the 780 Ti would be better for extreme overclocking?

I'm sure you meant 980 Ti. This is an EVGA card using the ACX 2.0 cooler. Nvidia doesn't allow its board partners to sell Titan X cards with non reference coolers and it was the same with the original Kepler Titans. I understand that it doesn't matter what cooler comes with the card to test it with ln2 because it gets taken off anyway but EVGA's idea is to use the Kingpin name and reputation to sell the card with the ACX 2.0 cooler. They can't sell a Titan X with the ACX 2.0 cooler.

The Classified Kingpin has a 170% power limit on its third BIOS. It also has more than a few overclocking friendly features baked into the design.

That implies that what is said in the article is less objective - which makes absolutely no sense whatsoever ( quelle surprise). The article simply states that Lucido broke the 3DM records (at least the ones he didn't already own).
All the article you posted really states is that adding voltage is a case of diminishing returns for the vast majority of users - not exactly a new occurrence - but at least hitting the wall arrives later regarding clock and relative performance than with some other flagship offerings of late.
