Gigabyte’s GTX 780 Ti is Overclocked & Features a Tri-Fan Cooling Solution

Everybody loves new stuff, especially when it comes to video cards, as they are just cool upgrades for our gaming systems. Gigabyte has made a good name for themselves in the video card market and with their unique aftermarket cooling their cards usually come overclocked and super cooled.

Last week NVIDIA made their bold answer to AMD’s R9 290X in the form of the all-new GeForce GTX 780 Ti that basically took the fastest single GPU crown right back from AMD after a very short-lived time on the fastest of the fast throne. AMD fans are surely pissed off by this move, as are many NVIDIA fans that just recently bought themselves a GeForce GTX 780 just a few weeks back.

Now once again we see Gigabyte kick up the spiciness with their own flavor of card the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 780 Ti Overclocked Edition, an OC’d version of NVIDIA’s reference speed demon outfitted with a Windforce 3X cooling solution consisting of “Triangle Cool” technology.

The main features of the card are within its excellent cooling apparatus that features three ultra quiet PWM fans supplemented with two 8mm and four 6mm copper heat pipes. The memory also has RAM heatsinks that also flesh out the entire cooling package and help keep the card running cool in in an overclocked state.  Gigabyte also makes the claim that this cooling technology will run a whopping 14% better than reference based cooling solutions, and with NVIDIA GPU Boost 2.0 working off card temperatures this can only be a positive thing.

For right now that is all there is to know, bit it says just about all you need to hear. Obviously the card will be overclocked right out-of-the-box as its an OC Edition card and prices are supposed to be around $725.00 according to a link on Amazon so if you are eager you can buy one now. The exact overclocking speeds are yet to be named, but in truth that is not a really big deal as you can clock the card to your own ideal and overclock to how ever far you can get the card to go. Regarding stock speeds and feeds a stock clocked GeForce GTX 780 Ti has a core clockspeed of 875MHz, boost clockspeed of 928MHz, and 3GB of GDDR5 memory clocked at 7000MHz (effective). The Gigabyte card is priced about $25 more than a reference card, but I am willing to bet the cooling is most likely worth the small price increase. For now all we can do is wait. Thanks for reading Tech Of Tomorrow and have a great day. Please take our mini poll and tell us what you think.
