ASUS GeForce GTX 780 Ti DirectCU II Review
Performance Summary and Conclusion
Performance Summary: Having already benchmarked a collection of GeForce GTX 780 Ti graphics cards in a previous roundup, we knew what to expect from this GPU. With that being the case, what we look for are any unusual anomalies or standout features. The ASUS GeForce GTX 780 Ti DirectCU II is the lowest clocked card in this class that we've tested, though that's not necessarily a bad thing. In most cases, it performed within a few frames per second of the other cards, and sometimes less than 1fps, but is tied for the least expensive of the bunch.
;)
The ASUS GeForce GTX 780 Ti DirectCU II enters a somewhat crowded field, but manages to separate itself from the competition in a couple of areas. The first is with the included metallic stickers -- yes, it's part gimmick, but if you're looking to match your graphics card to a red or gold themed motherboard, these pieces of bling allow you to do that.
Secondly, the DirectCU II is the least expensive GeForce GTX 780 Ti around (not including mail-in-rebates). At $690 street, this overclocked card costs less than the MSRP for a reference card. That's a stellar deal considering you get higher clock speeds, a superior cooling solution, and quality parts that deliver cleaner, more stable power.
