Hmm... same thing Asus did with the text on the back plate with their Poseidon.
A minor flaw with Gigabyte's, when the card is installed, the text will be upside down.

This card is going to be outrageously expensive even when compared to the regular 780 Ti's.

Wow one ugly card, seems Nvidia and partners do not want to give up that $700+ price point.

Another overkill card for my 1920x1080 monitor lol!

Apparently it's $30 more expensive ($729). It doesn't sound like a bad deal given the massive overclock. If you're willing to pay $700, you might as well drop $30 more to get this significant boost.

Already read a review of this card somewhere. It's practically stretched to its limits though with the overclock like this because this is based off a reference PCB.

Hey kulmnar, it's not really overkill. Games like Metro Last Light and Company of Heroes when at max settings, really tanks single GPUs at 1920 x 1080 really damn hard. Even for a GTX 780 that's heavily overclocked boost to 1.2 GHz that I'm using, the FPS on these 2 games can go below 30.

Seriously! Waaay overkill for my 1680x1050 screen. Btw, I found a great site where you can...just kidding lol.

Not a bad deal at all, given EVGA charges the same for their lolSuperclockedyolol33t11!11™™ products, with only a 10% overclock to Gigabyte's 20%.

Whether its worth it over doing your own overclocking is a better question, though at $700+ I suppose its more worthwhile than with cheaper cards.

Wow that is nice (and not to much of a price bump), but I have a question.
There were rumors that 780 ti with "boosted" (that is more than 3 GB) RAM will hit the market.
What is better: boosted GPU clock rates (and memory frequencies) or more RAM? What difference is there in lets say 1440 or even (some day i hope) 4K gaming resolutions?

In a bit of unrelated nostalgia, the Windforce was legendary in the old Diablo 2 days... For the uninitiated, that was the best bow in the game.

Gigabyte is known for their 'ugly' yet effective cooling solutions for their GPUs, which is probably fine by anyone who isn't planning on looking at the GPU all day but put it to good use.

If you like to look at it (😵), you'll probably end up looking at its rear side anyway, and they have you covered there with a sexy backplate.

Here's a look around the Card

i thought GHZ edition was an AMD thing.

 

[UltimateDeep]

Well, You can just dub any card that is factory overclocked to 1 GHz like my ZOTAC 780 AMP! as GHz Edition. I could possibly dub that, depending how you see it. How AMD / nVidia and other aftermarket companies officially dub their card as a GHz Edition is a mystery.
