Alright... pretty pictures time! A couple of pages with photo's then and most of it from our own photo-shoot :)

So as you can see the GeForce GTX 780 and yeah, it is looking a lot like the GeForce GTX Titan, a similar fashioned cooler is being used, that I might add is awesome as it is very silent. The card is 10.5 Inches in length which is like 27 cm for those in that like and reside in the Metric system ;)

The card itself is a dual-slot solution and the cooling is vapor chamber based, in fact the card remains fairly silent which was a pleasant surprise alright. That cooler is awesome, the fan plexiglass is being used so you can actually look into the cooler's aluminum fins. The fan is outfitted with a special design, its airflow is carefully directed to take in air from the PC and exhaust it outside the PC, in order to optimize cooling efficiency while minimizing noise causing restrictions.

With the GeForce GTX 780 you will receive four display connectors, you'll spot a full size Display port connector, one full size HDMI connector and two DVI connectors (dual-link). You can combine these connectors to setup a surround view (multi-monitor) setup. One card will give you more than sufficient performance to play your games on three monitors.

To date we still receive this question a lot, but dual-link DVI does not mean you can hook up two monitors to one connector. Dual-link means double the signal, that way monitor resolutions over 1920x1200 can be supported or you could use a 120Hz monitor. So explained very simple, dual-link DVI supports high-resolution (above 1920x1200) or high-refresh rate (120Hz) monitors.

The GeForce GTX 780 will have its price set a notch above GeForce the GTX 680, the price premium does show in things like the cooling and sheer silence. The heatsink shell is made from casted aluminum with an injection molded magnesium alloy. This is a good conductor of heat plus it helps out in isolating noise. And preventing noise for this product series is a key thing for Nvidia.

Each GeForce GTX 780 will have a maximum power design of 250 Watts, but they are made to overclock as well. As such Nvidia is using an one 150W 8-pin PEG, and one 75W 6-pin PEG (PCI EXpress Graphics) connector. Another 75 to 150 Watts is delivered though the PCI slot and thus motherboard. This should be plenty for a decent overclocking session.
