The video board will only have a minor factory overclock, oddly enough

You'd think that a graphics card whose photos everyone is hunting for would have more than a basic clock boost to show for itself, performance-wise, but ASUS ROG Poseidon is defying expectations.

The card will only have a small factory overclock, and even that wasn't disclosed. ASUS did use a 10-phase Digi+ VRM, though, to allow buyers to perform custom overclocking.

Its looks have been discovered though. The folks at SweClockers were kind enough to provide some pictures.

You can see the hybrid cooler, which is essentially an air cooler with a radiator rather than a heatsink. Air and liquid cooling combined, that's what this is.

And now for the bad news: this isn't a GeForce GTX 780 Ti, but a GTX 780, with 2,304 CUDA and 192 TMUs (texture mapping units), not 2,880 CUDA cores and 240 TMUs.
