14 DAY TRIAL // Overclocking isn't unusual on graphics cards or CPUs, but when a video card is overclocked by 24%, it tends to cause waves. As it happens, that's exactly what Galaxy was counting on.
The company has introduced the GeForce GTX 780 Ti Hall of Fame V20 graphics card, which features GPU clocks of 1085 MHz / 1150 MHz for the graphics processing unit.
Those are the base speed and the GPU Boost maximum that can automatically be achieved when your games demand such a thing, if ever.
Normally, the card works at 876 MHz / 928 MHz. Clearly, Galaxy really went out of its way to give reasons for the world to be left poleaxed.
So what made it all possible? In addition to the 16+3 Phase VRM and tantalum capacitors, the one responsible is the EK-FC780 GTX Ti HOF V20 water block.
It not only beats any air cooler in, well, cooling, but it is totally silent too (though whether or not your pump/reservoir/radiators are quiet remains to be seen).
EK has the habit of launching one or more water blocks for every AMD or NVIDIA card that comes out. It'll probably help sales a lot, though, to have such a great incentive as a 24% overclock.
The rest of the specs of the video card are left alone: 2,880 CUDA cores, 3 GB of GDDR5 VRAM (7 GHz) and multiple video ports (dual-DVI, HDMI, DisplayPort).
