PNY Announces GTX 780 Ti OC Graphics Card
PNY has revealed its soon-to-arrive GeForce GTX 780 Ti Overclocked graphics card.
PNY has announced a new graphics card: the GeForce GTX 780 Ti 'Overclocked.' This graphics card is factory overclocked and features a non-reference cooler.
Reference clock speeds for a GTX 780 Ti are set at 876 MHz GPU base, with a 928 MHz boost frequency. The overclocked speeds of PNY's card are set at 980 MHz GPU base, with a 1046 MHz boost frequency – over a 12 percent boost in speed. The card's memory is clocked at an effective speed of 7.0 GHz.
The cooler on the unit uses three fans to push air through an aluminum fin stack, and features a design borrowed from Palit's JetStream series of graphics cards.
There was no word on when the card would hit shops, though it should arrive soon with an MSRP price of $749.99.

My Z77XUD5H + 3770K + 16GB of HyperX RAM didnt cost this much, combined!!!
Can't find it listed price wise for US, but UK/EU is 575 bp / 699 e

I'm not going to act like an AMD apologist and say that their coolers are good or anything - 95 degrees may be optimal but a better cooler wouldn't let you hit it at low clocks, nor should the fan need to spin loudly - but I think it's fair to say that both companies are messing up at times. AMD should've spent a little more on a better cooler, but those non-reference cards are making up for it. 95 degrees isn't horrible in an historical sense; check both companies' past records here.
Gsync is nice if you can afford to utilise it. 3 AAA games are nice too, but let's not forget that AMD was doing that recently and will most likely return to the same sort of deal in the near future. Is this 780 Ti worth the $100-150 premium? That's the question worth asking.
"$40,000 for a mercedes? I can't believe it! I got my camry for 2000! What a ripoff!"
That's pretty much what it sounds like.
Also to all the bloody console peasants... Please leave, we don't care that you can buy a P(iece)S(hit)4 or an Xboner for the same price. The pcmasterrace is all about having the ability to be the fastest.
Why? Fanboyism? I would buy from both teams. Right now Nvidia has the cooler and faster GPU so I'd buy from them. The 7970 was cheaper than the 680 for a while so I would've bought from them. Why would you ever buy exclusively from one manufacture?
