ASUS 780Ti Poseidon

[Silent_Scone]

Another ROG offering, this one's watercooled

Judging by the PCB and backplate I'll take an educated guess and say it is a Ti. No further info just yet.

Most interestingly though it's a hybrid cooler, meaning it can be used with or without watercooling.

I think I would rather have an EVGA 780ti Classified please.

@Gibbo, if I pay extra can I have one without Kingpin's name all over it please.

yo dawg, i heard you like cooling so we put a fans and a heatsink on your waterblock so you can cool while you cool

^lol

Yeah I'm looking at ordering mine today. I'm betting the Kingpin cards will be a limited run, and I don't see the point in unlimited TDP and volts on air for me personally. That's like giving a 4 year old a loaded gun .

Oops, didn't see that thread. Did a search and everything.

hmm I like this idea of a hybrid cooling system. Means we can test the GPU works before plumbing it in easily, then when upgrading we'll be able to move the GPU to a non-watercooled secondary box with minimum of fuss!

UPDATE 2: Unfortunately, this card is not 780 Ti, but the old 780 with 2304 CUDA cores. Shame.

ASUS ROG has just posted a teaser showing a new Poseidon card, probably based on GTX 780 Ti.

So this is a 780 version (non Ti) but there looks to be a Ti variant coming at some stage. Like others though, I would still want the Classy over the ROG.

 

[Silent_Scone]

Me too. I'm itching to order the Classifieds but would like to know a little more about the Kingpin cards. We don't even know what the Classifieds are clocked at out of the box.

Spot the elpida vram. Makes no sense why thy put them on their exotic cards.

 

[Silent_Scone]

Probably a marketing mock-up. Elpida stuffs not half bad mind.

Looks nice, the price not so much.

Really?

People say on here that Elpida is crud, and Samsung is gold dust.

 

[Silent_Scone]

It's not crud but it certainly doesn't clock as well lol. A lot of reference cards have clocked quite well on Elpida stuff. It's a lottery like most things mind you

It sucks that we have been waiting over half a damn year for this card, but on the plus side it's evolved since it's original GTX770 prototype XD

Elpida isn't bad so to speak, its just, on average, not as likely to hit clocks as high as Samsung or hynix.
