ASUS announces GeForce GTX 780 6GB STRIX Edition

It's a "Sound" idea that I'm sure Nvidia "fans" will find "cool" but I'm not going to make too much "noise" about it.......

I think I prefer the look of the EVGA 6gb 780.

EVGA are also less hassle with Waterblocks and RMA too.

0 fan at idle, Great idea.

Sounds like ULPS, but without the gpu actually turning off?

Sounds like extra heat hanging around in your case, I don't think this is a particularly good idea.

And as someone said above, what happens when you start gaming - the fans start up.

Corporate weasel spiel, gotta love it.

 

[Yaayuh!]

So this is a 6GB 780 Matrix/DirectCUII with an edited BIOS fan profile then?

Love the fact the fan doesn't spin when idle yet the packaging say "0db silent gaming"... So what, playing solitaire then? lol

Great looking card that.

The best thing about the fans not spinning at idle is not the sound level

It that the GPU card should get much less dust on it.....

Ah, but... a rolling stone gathers no moss, young padawan.

Not sure how well this will work. AMD aren't known for their low temps and power efficiency.

Because of their stock coolers as far as temps is concerned.

Custom cooled Amd cards have much lower temps as these are.

The box says 0db gaming, that simply isn't true

 

[triss]

If its very light gaming it can be true , they dont mention what sort of gaming to solve that comeback

 

[thefogo]

0bd in Runescape.

 

[Loxa]

Why dont they do a 6GB 780 ti?
