Looks tasty and the liquid cooling is nice, but you can get the same performance output on existing versions of the 780.
If I hadn't overclocked my new Windforce 780 OC it would not go above about 65 degrees on sustained 100% load. £360. I've got my 780 up to 1106Mhz boost without increasing the voltage.

When Pascal rolls around that is promised to be 4 times more power efficient, which suggests the possibility of lower temperatures.

Yeah, I would not buy that particular card but the technology they are adding as standard is great news. Once they have tweaked it and perhaps go for a full cover and full block flow version I could be tempted. Perhaps a GTX790 version if I could remortgage my house.
