The Card
EVGA has engineered a completely new cooling solution for their GTX 780 called ACX (Active Cooling Xtreme). The cooler does certainly look nice, better than most other GTX 780 custom coolers, but I still do not think it can compete with the looks of NVIDIA's reference design cooler, but every board partner will have a hard time competing with that. The card is 27 cm long and 11.5 cm high.
Installing the card requires two slots in your system.
Display connectivity options include two DVI ports, one HDMI port, and one DisplayPort. You may use all outputs at the same time, so triple-monitor surround gaming is possible with one card.
The GPU also includes an HDMI sound device. It is HDMI 1.4a compatible, which includes HD audio and Blu-ray 3D movies support.
Two SLI connectors are available, which would allow you to combine up to four GTX 780 cards in a Triple-SLI, multi-GPU configuration. NVIDIA limited the GTX 780 to Triple-SLI only, while Quad SLI is supported by the GTX Titan.
