It aint out yet,  it looks ugly, and there is many topics already.  :P

maybe not the nicest card in the world but i would buy one or two, although i think i would rather water block my 770 lightning

What's the point of a water-cooled graphics card that has a fan on it ? it's bad for aesthetics & it's bad for noise levels.

[warmmilk]

^you can turn off the fan when its watercooled and you usually can't see that side of the card once its in your system anyway 

 

its a shame they're doing this to the 770 and not the 780...

why can't we get a 1-slot high end AIO GPU?

[That Norwegian Guy]

Thanks a lot, I had almost forgotten about this horrible humpback thing.

 

And don't just post a link, if you're posting a news topic you're expected to put some sort of background in the text itself.

meh

You should probably specify that this post is about release dates rather than ASUS introducing this (which they already did in Computex). Also, yeah it's pretty ugly IMO...

[Tbonerocks80s]

Any word on the Asus Poseidon 770 yet?

[Langdon]

Looks terrible. Would rather get a reference 770 and buy a separate waterblock despite the extra cost.

then whats the point of not just buying a reference card and putting a waterblock on it lol or buying an evga hydro card

ease of use? maybe price depending on how much it costs? asus fanboism?

not saying its gonna be cheap, just could be cheaper than buying a ref card and a waterblock or and EVGA Hydro card

I really dont know why they put this set up on a 770. While the 770 is a good card as good if not better than the 680 I think they should have done it on nvidias newest flagship card the 780.

My question is why hasn't Asus made a ROG 780 yet? By that i mean something along the lines of what they did with the 7970 Matrix.

Not sure. They have already released two versions of the 780 (if you don't count the reference one.)

True, but neither come close to the UBERNESS of the Matrix lol. The DC2 is nothing really special, just higher quality components and a little more power phases thats it. An ROG 780 should be comparable to EVGA's Classified or MSI's Lightning ie (binned gpus, more than 8 phases, overclocking features etc.)

7000 series released December 2011. Matrix 7970 got a preview at July 2012 and received reviews November 2012. I'm guessing a year or so unless Nvidia releases the 800 series. 7000 series had a longer lifespan.
