780Ti HOF

 

Gamer Series

 

 

One of NVIDIA's higher volume GeForce add-in card (AIC) partners, Galaxy, launched the Gamer Series of graphics cards. The first in the series, pictured below, was unveiled at a press event in China, and is based on the GeForce GTX 760 graphics processor. The card features a swanky cooling solution that you'll either love or hate; a custom-design PCB, and a large factory-overclock. The GTX 760 Gamer ships with 1086 MHz core, 1150 MHz GPU Boost, and an untouched 6.00 GHz memory. The dual-slot "Gamer" cooling solution features an aluminium fin-stack heatsink, and a pair of 80 mm fans ventilating it, covered by a die-cast metal shroud. Galaxy didn't detail plans to take the card global, but its launch in the Greater China region is certain.

 

 

In addition to debuting its Gamer Series graphics cards with one based on the GeForce GTX 760, Galaxy formally launched the GeForce GTX 780 Ti Hall of Fame (HOF). Based on a board design that's identical that of the GeForce GTX 780 HOF, including its signature white-colored PCB, and triple-slot Hall of Fame cooling solution that features a large aluminium fin heatsink that relies on 8 mm-thick nickel-plated copper heat pipes; the card is said to feature a large factory-overclock, although Galaxy hasn't finalized it. The card draws power from a pair of 8-pin PCIe power connectors, and on the GTX 780 HOF, conditions it using a 10-phase VRM, which uses CHiL CHL8318 controller, IR3550 PowIRstage DrMOS chips, and a total current output capability of 480A. Galaxy claims that the GTX 780 Ti HOF will be the highest performing GTX 780 Ti out of the box.

 

 

 

 

OK looking at the new series of graphics cards, it looks terrible. I mean, looking at the heat sink, it looks awful to me. It's just a plain heat sink with only a few heat pipes. I really don't like it.

 

PURPLE FANS and BLUE PCB *BLEEAAGGHHH*

Purple fans, what were they thinking.

[hehehehhehehehe]

I actually like the look of the HOF card...

[JAKEBAB]

the gamer font reminds me of monster energy.

yea nothing wrong with it, just because it doesn't fit a build's color scheme/style doesn't make the design is bad

[Ineko]

The "Gamer" series needs black fans and that stupid gamer logo taken off of it.

 

The HoF card however looks god damn awesome.

[miyabwah]

The "Gaming" label is just another way of saying It's expensive and low quality.

[MzCatieB]

this looks like an DCU2/Lightning hyrbid... it looks glorious 

[JupiteL]

Do we really need a "GAMER" font on our pc. Didn't it should be like, you know, some code name or logo. Other than that, the gamer card looks like Steelseries WoW edition.

 

And the HOF actually looks really good and aggressive.

[Kilerbomb]

Ew.

 

780Ti HOF is fine, but that "gamer series" 760 *cringe* is hideous.

780Ti HOF is fine, but that "gamer series" 780Ti *cringe* is hideous.

Whoops. Either way, it makes me nauseous looking at it.

The 780Ti HOF card looks awesome, might just be my opinion but it is the first card that I think looks better than the 780Ti reference cooler.

[Artorias]

Wow, that HoF looks so awesome.

[totjup5]

Wish I could afford 2 of these

[That Norwegian Guy]

Galaxy/ KFA2 are mass appeal/ lowest common denominator chasers, don't expect sophistication from them. Though the HOF is kind of unique. Still kind of crude, but I could see myself using it in the right build.

 

Gamer series looks like a typical AMD card, if there's one thing I hate, it's the shroud not extending all the way to the PCIe bracket, showing PCB and I/O boxouts *pukes*
