ASUS Unveils the GeForce GTX 780 STRIX 6 GB Graphics Card
ASUS today took the veil off a new graphics card powered by NVIDIA's GK110 GPU, a custom GeForce GTX 780 that packs 6 GB of memory (double the amount found on 'regular' GTX 780s) and makes use of a DirectCU II cooling solution that can be totally silent, in certain situations. Named GeForce GTX 780 STRIX, the card in question will not be running its two fans when idle or during light workload scenarios (assuming the GPU temperature is below a threshold) but will power them up as soon as the GPU load increases.
The GeForce GTX 780 STRIX has 2304 CUDA Cores, a 384-bit memory interface, SLI support, dual-DVI, HDMI and DisplayPort outputs and will be available in two versions - one with stock clocks and one with an overclocked GPU. ASUS is promising more information 'soon'.Update [22/5] - ASUS has officially announced the STRIX GTX 780 and revealed the specifications of the OC version of the card. Codenamed STRIX-GTX780-OC-6GD5, the card will have GPU Base/Boost clocks of 889/941 MHz and a memory clock of 6008 MHz.

Strix. I like it.
Nvidia :rolleyes:
Also sadly that extra 3gb vram it doesnt make any real difference, 780TI or 6gb titan black SLI can run faster..

EDIT : Against*
Considering the clocks haven't been announced, maybe you should phone a fortune teller.
I'd assume the card features B1 silicon. In that case, I'd also assume that whilst it may not overclock significantly better than any other GTX 780, it will likely achieve it's max OC with much less voltage - as is the case with my Gigabyte GHz edition card.
what is this then kind sir?
Sadly they call these cards "OC" but might well just call them reference clocks since 863mhz is base ref clock nvidia set, getting a minor 20mhz above base is such a joke and not worthly of tag OC.
I'd also note - in a real world gaming scenario, who is likely to sacrifice playability for a largely superfluous full screen AA on a 4K monitor of ~30" ? There maybe people around that might run their game as a lovely slideshow to prove a point, but I'm willing to bet there would be many, many more that would aim for a fluid 60 f.p.s. over some barely perceptible aliasing for the most part.
I'd also note that what Prima.Vera said regarding caching is likely true. The Titan in the above graph is "using" considerably more vRAM than the 780 Ti, yet that extra usage doesn't translate into a framerate increase.
