Gigabyte GeForce GTX 780 Ti WindForce 3X OC tested and reviewed
Oh heck yeah, this one is nice I promise ! We review the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 780 Ti WindForce 3X OC, with a new 450W WindForce 3X cooler and a factory overclock this thing is fast ! NVIDIA unlocked the GPU completely meaning all 2880 Shader processors are available. That combined with increased core and memory clock frequencies and nice overclock potential will make this the top 699 USD flagship product to purchase for the Christmas holiday season. We test the product with the hottest games like Metro: Last light, Battlefield 4, Medal of Honor Warfighter, Hitman Absolution and many more.

i don't see how this is a better deal than a 290x considering it's $200 cheaper than a 780Ti, especially when the 290x Non-Reference hits the shelves and mantle API released in December. As well, the 290X comes with 4GB of Vram versus this model which only has 3GB. And your paying well over $700 with taxes, that is disappointing. Things could drastically change really fast.

As a new card, Im sure these issues will be resolved with later driver releases, exactly why I am not currently purchasing either card... but my bet is on the 290X in a month down the road.

So this card didn't overclock any better than the reference 780ti?
Quote "That combined with increased core and memory clock frequencies and nice overclock potential"
Hmmm except it's not true!
I suspect the card was throttling due to TDP limit and it doesn't matter what cooler you put on it, you aint gunna get any significant increase in overclocking ability.
Also, that cooler just recycles the heat round your case where the reference design blows it out the back.
Until we get a lightning or Classified. Also on your cooler resycling hot air the all depends on how well your case flows I know when I had my 770 lightning with its twinfrozer IV cooler in my HAF922 there was much lower temps than when I was using a 670 FTW ( which uses a reference 680 cooler ).

Do I want one? Yes. Am I willing to pay that much for a graphics card? No.
Srlsy, I'm drooling over the performance but I have a limit as to how much I'd spend on a graphics card. I think £300 is about it.
