GeForce GTX 780 GHz Edition No Unicorn, a Gigabyte SKU
In the aftermath of AMD's Radeon R9 290 launch, which at $399, makes the $499 GeForce GTX 780 look undesirable, NVIDIA could be pushing its partners to come up with factory-overclocked SKUs that make the GTX 780 competitive at its price point. The first such card is the Gigabyte GTX 780 GHz Edition, which was earlier mistaken for an official NVIDIA SKU. Granted, the card is based on the new B1 stepping of the GK110 chip, but that doesn't constitute a new SKU. The card features out of the box clock speeds of 1019 MHz core, 1071 MHz GPU Boost, and an untouched 6.00 GHz (GDDR5-effective) memory. It's beginning to appear on European online retail websites such as OCUK, at a roughly 10 percent premium over regular GTX 780 cards.

10 percent premium over regular GTX 780 cards
thats good ....
clock speeds of 1019 MHz core to 1071 MHz GPU Boost very fast
this GPU can defeat R290 ?
FYI, R9-290 non-x can beat GK110 14SMX too (Titan), especially if OC'ed a bit (minimal OC 1050mhz).
*Check techpowerup R9-290 review.
Just so you know, I know all the scenario in the market too, no need to be ahole about it, tnx. ;)
On topic, something like this Gigabyte cooler, hopefully they're gonna make 780Ti version as well.
