The Card

At first glance, the card looks very similar to the MSI GTX 780 Gaming 3 GB, only the metal bar at the top left of the card has changed. The PCB design remains the same. MSI increased the memory by using higher capacity memory chips. Dimensions of the card are 30 cm x 13 cm.


Installation 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 allows you to combine up to three GTX 780 cards in a Triple-SLI, multi-GPU configuration. NVIDIA decided to disable Quad-SLI on the GTX 780, so that feature is reserved for the GTX Titan only.
