Damn thought a new card was released.

I was hoping so too.

Unsure if it's like this everywhere but changing the cooler does indeed void the warranty most of the time since you modified the card, heh even something relatively simple like updating the bios can void the warranty although the car comparison is somewhat of a strange response but I guess they just tried to be clear about it, maybe?

Other than eVGA most do void warranty. Lucky the card is working perfectly, I just water cooled it.. You can't use a card that sits at 82c which is on the edge of thermal throttling. Don't see temps over 44c now, I went with what I had till the water block gets here, Kraken G10 and Kraken x60. Will get a GTX880 at the end of the year anyway, and it won't be Asus. What I found interesting on the white sticker it did not say warranty void like on the standard Asus GTX780ti DCUII. http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/b607/schoolofmonkey2/076eff4d-7506-413e-8700-a16b11298d43_zps7db690d8.jpg Also check out the dodgy TIM job on my card. http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/b607/schoolofmonkey2/20140814_100512_zpsb1f078f7.jpg Sorry if they are off topic posts, I just wanted people to know what the "Real World" experiences of the card are, a lot of people like myself go off Guru3D's reviews.

Seems the Asus direct cu cooler and the twin frozr cooler on msi gaming are the 2 quietest air cooling option on cards nowadays well other than goin aftermarket with the arctic accelero extreme. I'm very impressed with the gtx 780ti. Word on the street is even after the gtx 880 is released the gtx 780ti will still be faster than it. So if you want the fastest single GPU the gtx 780ti is still very relevant. Full gk110 is still a lil too fast for little maxwell gm204. But i guess it's more fair to compare gm204 lil maxwell to gk104 lil kepler which is gtx 770. I'm just dying to see what nvidia does to replace big kepler gk110 with big maxwell gm210. gm210 will likely be made under 20nm node as well. I'm expecting some massive gains. I expect 4k gaming to run well off a single big maxwell card. Maybe no ultra maxed all the way but good high settings on most every game in 4k with the 20nm gm210 big maxwell!
