The Asus GTX780 Ti ROG Matrix graphics card arrives in a red Republic Of Gamers styled box with just the name visible on the front.
The box opens up to highlight the card behind a tough plastic cover. ASUS focus on the many key selling points of this particular graphics card.
Our sample had been around the block a little, so I am not sure if this is the full bundle you are likely to receive with the retail version of the card. Just a couple of power converter cables and literature in the box.
The GTX780Ti ROG Matrix is certainly a looker. The metal red and black cooler is both heavy and beautifully finished.
Yes, they have even painted the heatpipes black to match the colour scheme. First time (in memory) we have seen a company do this – fantastic!
The card ships fully equipped with a metal backplate. This will offer additional cooling while protecting the PCB against damage.
Connectivity is pretty much perfect. No fiddly ‘mini' headers – just two Dual Link DVI connectors, alongside a full sized HDMI and DisplayPort connector.
Two SLi connectors, if you want to push the frame rates even higher.
The GTX780Ti ROG Matrix takes power from two 8 Pin PCIe connectors, shown above. The first header on the left is actually rather difficult to work with, as it is recessed and very close on two sides to the metal backplate.
Asus are using a hefty heatsink and our close up shots show how the copper heatpipes have been treated with black heat resistant paint. Five very thick heatpipes run from both sides of the copper base into the multiple blocks of aluminum fins – which are also painted black. Asus are using 3GB of high grade SKHynix memory.

AMD's unreleased UDNA GPU architecture is back in the news, with a fresh leak suggesting …
Why always the talk of 6gb cards? Every benchmark I read suggests it doesn’t help a Titan Black leverage again a 780 Ti. I play games in 4k with two 780 Ti’s in sli and never see my vram usage hit 100%. The issue vs AMD cards is the 384 vs 512 bit bus. A Titan Black is simply wasteful for gaming purposes.
I am looking to get another 780ti for sli 2 way.. I game in 1440p Surround.. Will I be able to obtain 60fps on very high settings?
7680x1440p is very demanding; SLI 980Tis is what I use, but I use my 780Tis for 2650x1440p. I think if the 780Tis had 6GB of VRAM instead of 3GB they would do ok @7680×1440.
So true, I have my Asus Rog Matrix 780ti on ebay as we speak, I will miss it for sure though, decided to go for 980ti’s – for the ports at the back too.
