Inno3D iChill GTX 780 HerculeZ X3 Ultra Review

Conclusion

Classing the Inno3d iChill GTX 780 HerculeZ X3 Ultra as anything other than exceptional is futile. It is among the fastest factory overclocked cards available, in our tests it proved to be on average the fastest GTX 780, it also manually overclocked the highest and was also the coolest. In our opinion it is the best looking, has the best accessories and as an overall package clearly comes out on top. What more could you want? We could end the review right there but we wont.

Bad points? They are difficult to find. The obvious stumbling block is the price because at £599.99 it is among the most expensive GTX780's available at the time of writing. If bragging rights are what you desire most then the GTX TITAN for another £200 may be more to your liking. If you want the ultimate in performance then perhaps a GTX 690 is the better alternative. However, if the obscene amount of cash required to purchase those two cards cost put you off then the Inno3d iChill GTX 780 HerculeZ X3 Ultra is the card to go for. Don't misunderstand us, £600 is still obscene in GPU terms but it is much easier to swallow considering the performance gains to be had from the top two cards from NVIDIA and for that £600 you do get a hell of a lot of performance.



The thought and engineering that has gone into this graphics card is mind blowing. We honestly can't think of anything more you could want from a graphics card save grab you an ice cold beer from the fridge! We could wax lyrical about the card all day because it is one of those products that sets new standards. We're sure then you can understand why we have given the Inno3d iChill GTX 780 HerculeZ X3 Ultra our very best award.

To summarise:
The Inno3d iChill GTX 780 HerculeZ X3 Ultra epitomises all that a GPU should be: Extremely powerful, extremely quiet and extremely cool (in both senses of the word). Inno3D - we applaud you on a job very well done.
