Introduction

Last month, NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 780 launched with great success. The card uses the same Kepler GK110 GPU we've seen on the GTX Titan, but with fewer shaders. The new GPU and NVIDIA's new Boost 2.0 algorithm allow the card to offer significant performance improvements over the GeForce GTX 680.



The ASUS GeForce GTX 780 DirectCU II OC introduces a completely new DirectCU heatsink that promises better cooling performance. It also has a revamped PCB design that increases the number of power phases to ten.

With 889 MHz, clocks are only increased slightly. Memory clock is unchanged. Exact pricing isn't finalized yet, but ASUS is looking at USD 699 as the most realistic price point.
