It is 39 MHz faster than the reference video board and has a triple-fan cooler

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 graphics card is all well and good as the second best 700-series adapter, but it can be better, something that Palit insisted on proving.

So the company doubled the amount of memory on it, from 3 GB to 6 GB GDDR5 VRAM, and overclocked the GPU for good measure.

After all, it would be such a waste if that triple-fan cooler, colored black and gold (-ish), was there just for show.

Speaking of which, the company also tweaked the clock of the graphics processing unit, pushing it up by 39 MHz.

Thus, instead of 863 MHz / 900 MHz clocks (Base/Boost), the card operates at 902 MHz / 939 MHz. Even so, though, the temperature should be 20% lower than on the normal GTX 780.

The GTX 780 6 GB graphics cards are pretty funny in a way. You'd think that OEMs would double the memory of the GTX 780 Ti instead, but that would result in the Titan Black, so only the 780 (non-Ti) is left.

The Palit GeForce GTX 780 JetStream 6GB OC has LED Lighting (blue, for a nice glow inside the PC), an 8-Phase PWM, and triple DVI monitor support (two DVI ports + HDMI to DVI adapter dongle). Sadly, a price was not provided.
