Now then this one is worth it, good results cool and quiet and gives the Phantom a run for it's money.

I would love to see this card go up against an EVGA 780 ti Classified Kingpin Edition and the 780 ti Lightning when that drops. Battle of the titans (not the card).
The cheapest GTX 780 Ti is £500 (http://www.scan.co.uk/products/3gb-...r5-gpu-876mhz-boost-928mhz-cores-2880-dp-hdmi) this card is £620. That's 24% more expensive for the same GPU Die and Memory.
That is a big premium (£120) for what it comes with in my opinion and if we face facts none of us are LN2 world record breakers are we? - If this was really for LN2 users it wouldn't even come with an air cooler it would be sold just as the board with the die exposed expecting the overclocker to have their own pot to put on it.
This is a bit like someone buying a million pound bugatti to drive down 40 MPH country lanes.
Good on Asus for offering a niche to the incredibly small amount (Less than 1000 worldwide) users who actually need features like ram defrosters but for the rest of us this card is just epeen and I'd rather save that £120, get the lowest end card and put my own waterblock on for £70 from EK. I'd probably be able to OC it further than the air cooler allowed anyway.

If someone is just into gaming I don't see the point in this card as there are cheaper faster options out there.
On the other hand if you want to get every last bit of performance out of a system then four of these on waterblocks beomes a serious option. Having said that though for gaming at 4K such a setup would be pretty useless with only 3gb per GPU.

620£ is about 740e. I think all good models worth their price.
Even reference card with Accelero is close to this. 30% of owners of stock models will buy some cooler after few months and they will pay very similar price to ROG Matrix, Classified, Lightening and other. I simply can't listen noise any more after 1h of playing became very bad. Rather pay 100-150e more for premium and overclocked model and only set fan speed in NVIDIA Inspector.

Where'd you get that statistic from? Hardly anyone has done that here.

You are worried about noise and you use a EVGA 1500 PSU, I own one of those and it is the loudest PSU I have ever heard when it gets stressed.

I don't have at the moment that PSU, I have old one Seasonic SS 750-KM(X-750), for 2-3 week I will have SuperNOVA 1KW, but because NEX1500 work with only one graphic card it was not noisy for me on lowest speed. You can't even compare one fan 120mm on 1000RPM with turbine on reference cards.
Honestly I have two GTX 780's - I have them on EK blocks right now so obviously they are silent but when I had them on the stock reference NVIDIA coolers (which looked amazing in my opinion) they were inaudible to me while gaming.
I know that the GTX 780 Ti uses the same stock cooler so I imagine that too would be fairly quiet.
That's why I just don't see the point in buying these 3rd party engineered cards with custom coolers when the default is already so good and much more affordable, not to mention more compatible with water cooling blocks due to wider availability.

Sorry I forgot that an overclocked Kingpin does not use that much juice.
Seriously though an EVGA 1500 PSU makes quite a racket when flat out and is as loud as a stock 290X. I also don't like the flimsy handle at the back as it is very weak and likely to break, and those horrible red cables it comes with.

Now i understand why the 780ti had to go. Upgrading from a 780ti to a 780ti, you've got some balls mate.
