I had pretty much decided to put two GTX 680 cards in
SLI when I discovered the release date for the GTX 780
was only a week away. Advertised as the “Titan Light”
with impressive benchmarks, I decided to wait out the
week. Sure enough it appeared in stores and I placed
the order. I didn’t want to wait weeks for a third party
manufacturer to produce compatible waterblocks so it
was great news to find out it was compatible with
blocks made for the Titan card.
Disassembling a brand new $700 video card is nerve-
wracking but the results are amazing. I firmly believe it
is more important to liquid cool the GPU than the CPU. I
have had many graphics cards and their fans fail from
prolonged heat exposure which will not happen on a
card that rarely goes over 40 degrees Celsius. Enabling
CUDA with this card and compatible software allows me
almost real-time video encoding.
