From conclusion
"The ASUS GeForce GTX 780 DirectCU II OC video card is a full non-reference design GeForce GTX 780. From the additional layers in the PCB that provide more efficient and cleaner power to the super ally components, nothing on this board is reference. The ASUS GeForce GTX 780 DC II OC will experience a longer lifetime and provide consistent performance in todays latest games.
We did not achieve as high of an overclock as the GALAXY GeForce GTX 780 HOF Edition which has a $20 dollar price premium over ASUS' MSRP, however the temperature on the ASUS GeForce GTX 780 DC II OC was far cooler, and it drew less power. The overclock we achieved with ASUS GPU Tweak did correlate up to 20% faster performance in our games. The most appealing thing performance-wise is that it outperformed a GeForce GTX TITAN. The stock ASUS GeForce GTX 780 was performing at or slightly faster than the GTX TITAN, while overclocking it provided between 16% and 26% faster gameplay than the NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN, while saving $330 dollars!"
Couple of vary interesting points
1.A single card solution is almost always better, though 7950CF is stronger it falls flat on many occasions.It also seems the frame pacing driver isn't there yet
2.The power draw, 780 is faster and consumes less power than a 7970!!
3.Titan is becoming redundant with each passing day, unless NV allows aftermarket Titans it is becoming a relic :biggrin:
