http://www.guru3d.com/news_story/asus_rog_poseidon_geforce_gtx_graphics_card_has_hybrid_cooler.htmlYou guys probably can remember something developed under codename Poseidon a while ago. Well, that now expands and leaves the gossip arena as ASUS offers a sneak peek of a liquid cooled GeForce GTX 780 Ti which will be part of the Republic of Gamers lineup and will feature a DIGI+ VRM, highly-durable Black Metallic Capacitors and the DirectCU H20 cooler which combines air and liquid cooling to allow for better performance and quieter operation.
DirectCU H20 packs two dust-proof fans, three heatpipes, a large heatsink and a water block. Based on the prototype card showcased by ASUS earlier this year we can assume the ROG Poseidon will have three working modes - air only, liquid only and combined (air and liquid). There's no information just yet on clock frequencies, price tag and or a release date.
Figures.... I wait 6 dang months for it to happen, ask over and over again for some indication .... finally give up and buy two 780's w/ EK FVWBs .... and a week after I do the build they come out w/ the danged things
I wasn't convinced it was bad or good .... a decent WB w/ it's own rad and fans doesn't have to be bad .... I see 39-40C GPU temps in my loop w/ twin DCIIs.....wouldn't change anything if they were 50. Tho at this point I'm kinda hoping it bombs so as to spare me a case of buyers remorse
🙂Tho from the look of the pics...., I'm guessing it's a small block
Price will be important tho..... still wish they'd sell the danged think sand air cooler or in a form like the Hydro-copper.....sell in bulk to EK, FrozenCPU whatever ..... hate buying a card w/ a $100 air cooler only to take the danged thing off.
