Im sorry, i dont know why you enter the review with watchdogs + high ram usage, when we look at the difference of fps between a standard 780 and this OC version + 6gb.. we find 4fps difference.
With 106mhz more on the boost clock ( min boost clock, the card certainly clock higher in turbo mode than that, on both stock and non stock version ), we could expect the difference only come from this oc.

Yeah that WD difference is only because of base 954mhz vs 863mhz. My with 941mhz (boost 1084mhz) acts the same as this MSI and comparable to Titan (2688cores) performance out of the box.
Imo there won't be any vram usage difference, HH used High Textures there if Im not mistaken

Nice card, but too late in the game for me... no point in getting this when 880/AMD equivalent will come out in 6 months tops and will most likely also have a big vram capacity and of course a performance bump (remains to be seen how big that will be).

I was somewhat expecting a test of WD at ultra resolution at least to see how the extra VRAM helps. Why only high setting that is meant for VRAM <= 2GB? Or at least do some 4K tests... 1440p is nice but 6GB is meant for 4K with current games.
