EVGA releases seven new Geforce GTX 780 – introduces ACX Cooler

Nvidia launches the first graphics card in the Geforce GTX 700 series and, as usual, the partner manufacturers are on board and present a host of new models. EVGA takes the prize with as many as seven Geforce GTX 780 in various designs.

All include the GK110 graphics processor with 2304 CUDA cores, 384-bit memory bus and 3.0 GB of memory. When it comes to memory frequency, the reference model’s 6.0 GHz is followed, but EVGA increases the graphics processors’ clock frequencies and goes all the way up to 967/1020 MHz in the most expensive model Superclocked ACX.

The main issue, however, is not overclocking from the factory but the introduction of the self-developed cooler Active Cooling Xtreme (ACX). This contains two fans with extra durable fan blades and double ball bearings. The heat dissipation area is said to be 40 percent larger than the competitors’ and in addition, 15 percent lower temperatures are promised to 20 percent lower noise level than the reference design.

More details are a metal base plate that cools memory circuits and voltage regulation and also prevents the circuit board from bending. The manufacturer gives extensive promises of 25 percent lower weight than competing solutions with dual fans and promises that the fans will be good for 12 years of operation.

In addition to the Geforce GTX 780 with ACX Cooler, EVGA also introduces models with Nvidia’s reference cooler and the older “EVGA Cooler”, which is also used for graphics cards in the Geforce GTX 600 series.

Some price information is not yet known.
