  1. Wow, thats a hell of a card. I just bought a GTX770, this is slightly outside my budget, but very impressive.

  2. Yeah, id love this myself, but my car insurance needs sorted soon. great review and lovely board.

  3. The performance results are good, its interesting to see how far AMD are behind right now, even with a card that sucks so much juice and creates such noise.

    Hope they can get competitive again with the next generation.

    Id like MSI GTX760 card, would suit my rig better than the 780.

    I wonder how Nvidia feel about these GTX780s which are faster than the titan, seems a negative selling point if all you want to do is game.
