MSI GTX 780 TwinFrozr Gaming 3 GB Review
Packaging & Contents »Introduction
A little more than one month ago, 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.
Today, we are reviewing the MSI GeForce GTX 780 GAMING, a slightly overclocked custom-design of the GTX 780. Previous MSI GAMING cards impressed with their noise levels, so I'm having high hopes for this card too.
Pricing is reasonable with just a $10 price premium over the reference design bringing the price of the MSI GTX 780 GAMING to $660.
