ASUS Unveils the GeForce GTX 780 STRIX 6 GB Graphics Card

ASUS today took the veil off a new graphics card powered by NVIDIA’s GK110 GPU, a custom GeForce GTX 780 that packs 6 GB of memory (double the amount found on ‘regular’ GTX 780s) and makes use of a DirectCU II cooling solution that can be totally silent, in certain situations.

Named GeForce GTX 780 STRIX, the card in question will not be running its two fans when idle or during light workload scenarios (assuming the GPU temperature is below a threshold) but will power them up as soon as the GPU load increases.

The GeForce GTX 780 STRIX has 2304 CUDA Cores, a 384-bit memory interface, SLI support, dual-DVI, HDMI and DisplayPort outputs and will be available in two versions – one with stock clocks and one with an overclocked GPU. ASUS is promising more information ‘soon’.
