As you can see from the Specification sheet above, the Gaiward GTX780 has a massively increased overclock. This results in it (obviously) being faster than a reference design but interestingly, on paper at least, having the slight edge over GTexel production over the mighty GTX TITAN. While it still has half the amount of memory available of the TITAN, the memory bandwidth available is also higher.



Above we can see a breakdown of an individual SMX. We were happy to see NVIDIA increasing the memory size to 3GB of GDDR5 along with the 384-bit memory controller. This gives a healthy boost over the 2GB found on the GTX680. 3GB is plenty for todays gaming however with games becomming increasingly demanding, we would have liked to have seen 4GB of GDDR5 which would have positioned the GTX780 neatly between the outgoing and flagship models.
