Asus GTX 780 Ti DirectCU II OC Review

Allan 'Zardon' Campbell December 22, 2013 Featured Announcement, Graphics

To test power consumption today we are using a Keithley Integra unit and we measure power consumption from the VGA card inputs, not the system wide drain. We measure results while gaming in Crysis Warhead and the synthetic stress test Furmark and record both results.
GPU power consumption
The card demands around 224 watts when gaming, which is very close to the Sapphire R9 290 Tri-X OC which we also tested this week.

    Excellent looking card, but ih ave to say ‘gold stickers’? its that because they are the only company in the world to make gold coloured motherboards? blue and red and green would have been much better.

    Good card though

    I like ASUS GPU’s but they are always so expensive compared to other makes, this one seems priced ok, considering its a Ti, but the R9 290 is so much better value overall.

    I agree with Ben. I guess the best option taking into account the price quality ratio is the Asus R9 290X. It´s not much more expensive than the R9 290 and it´s much better:

    It´s also over 100$ cheaper than Asus GTX780 Ti Direct CUII OC.

    The R9 290X may be cheaper than the 780 Ti, but it’s not the best of the best! Asus GTX 780 Ti Direct CUII OC = The best of the best!
