14 DAY TRIAL // A couple of days ago, EVGA released two GeForce GTX 780 6 GB graphics cards, one that retains the reference cooler and one that doesn't. It turns out that both are factory overclocked.
We didn't know the frequencies of the boards when the two came out, but Bit-Tech was kind enough to find them.
The stock-cooled EVGA GeForce GTX 780 graphics card has a base GPU frequency of 941 MHz and a Boost setting of 993 MHz.
Meanwhile, the custom-cooled version, the one with a dual-fan cooling module, operates at 967 MHz and 1,020 MHz, respectively.
Compared to the 863 MHz / 900 MHz Boost of the GTX 780 3GB (which are, apparently, the base settings for the 6 GB board as well), those clocks are quite high.
Clearly, EVGA is trying to do away with challengers through the good old fashion method of overwhelming them with sheer power.
Of course, Palit's GTX 780 6GB boards are sure to be cheaper whenever they come out, so there probably won't be as heated a fight between the 6 GB boards as some may think.
Sadly, the clock boost (if any) applied to the 6 GB of GDDR5 VRAM on EVGA's two adapters is still unknown. Palit's board is overclocked but the memory was left at 6 GHz, so EVGA might do the same, but there’s no guarantee.
