Review: ASUS GeForce GTX 780 STRIX 6 GB Graphics Card

by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 06/04/2014 08:45 AM | source: | 13 comment(s)

For today's review we look exclusively at the GeForce GTX 780 STRIX 6 GB Graphics Card from ASUS, the OC edition specifically. The customized product is equipped with a massive cooler that can be air-cooled, this unit comes with a whopping 6 GB graphics memory (rather handy with Watch Dogs we admit) and a very hip looking cooler. As you can see, the DNA of the DirectCU II cooler is there, but the design is a little bit more well .. let's call it military ? Up-to 70 Degrees C the cooler doesn't even rotate, how's that for silence on an enthusiast class product ?

Almost tempted to sell my cards and get two of these.. Just because I'm bored and need something new to play with :-)

I would say 3 cards for 1440p or higher at 6gb.


3 or 4 would be my guess.

I don't agree, I don't agree, I don't agree with what Asus is doing with the fan inactivity.

70 degrees is just not hot, it's blazing hot. When the GPU is running so hot, the solder joints and all surrounding components are just as hot.

You want to keep all the components as cool as possible to prevent thermal decay of components and thermal joints. You don't want hot spots anywhere on the card. Wouldn't you want air moving over your voltage regulators all the time so they can be cooled and last longer.

Am I missing something?

Remember the thermal imaging of cards and motherboards of years gone by. It meant something back then and it still means the same thing today.

Think Thermal Decay. Heck, if all components in a computer could run at that temperature, servers farms would be a lot cheaper to run. There has to be hot spots on the card when those fans aren't turning.

I don't agree, I don't agree, I don't agree!
