Asus ROG Poseidon Graphics Card Seen in Pictures
More pictures of Asus' upcoming ROG Poseidon-series graphics card have surfaced.
A couple of days ago we saw a teaser of Asus' upcoming Poseidon graphics card, and now the folks over at SweClockers have managed to snatch a couple more images. While at first we thought it was going to be a GTX 780 Ti underwater, which would have been the logical conclusion, it turns out that it is actually 'only' a GTX 780.
The card will feature the standard 3 GB of GDDR5 memory, as well as the Poseidon cooler, which can cool the card with its fans, but also be integrated in a liquid cooling loop for some extra cooling power. There was no word on what the card's clock frequencies would be, though we can imagine a fairly notable overclock.
Reportedly, Asus plans on releasing the card around mid-December, so you might even be able to ask Santa for it.

Having dual cooling solutions on the card should be an available choice from all makers.
This is still going to use a custom loop, it just has a integrated water block. I think it could cool a bit better since the heatsink will pull some heat away and the fans will push the air away from it meaning the water going back to the radiator wont be as hot.
They made one with a closed loop system a while back but I never looked at reviews for it.
sure, I get that... but if they're not willing/able to switch the cooler onto the new card quickly, it only hurts business imo... keep in mind this is more or less a 'leak', the card won't come out for another month or more. by the time this thing hits the market, Nvidia will be leaking info on Maxwell (presumably). which will probably cost the same or less than the ROG poseidon...
now I don't know about others, but I would not pay top dollar when a cheaper card has 50% more performance (top-end maxwell)
It kinda sux having to buy a $520 card and then throw away a $80 - 100 air cooler and replace it with a $140 WB / Backplate combo.
I have my 780s overclocked 32% on EK WB's and Backplates .... they were running at about 40C with my original fan profile.... I slowed the fans down and now running at about 44C
Wouldn't be a problem if they were 90-degrees up and down, but sideways like that it's going to force 90% of people to buy angled fittings instead of straight fittings because most people don't have cases wide enough for the tubing curve that sideways straight fittings creates.

You are aware of the history of ROG branded graphics cards right? we'll be lucky for this thing to price under $1000
