Amazing Video Card

I had a 770 Lightning, which is an amazing card, but the 780 blew me away, and the supposed margin of difference between the two cards isn't supposed to be much, but I certainly noticed it. My 770 was factory overclocked too high, and unstable. The service was terrific and painless, I was expecting some kind of fight for a simple return, not the case. Some cons of the 780: No back plate, this doesn't effect performance of the card, but it would be nice for aesthetics and handling. You would expect such an expensive card to include a back plate. You can purchase one online for $20. The heat exhaust is blown directly into the case, instead of outside the case. My temperatures were very high as a result. I solved this by removing the side panel and noticed a massive temperature drop. I have never exceeded 66C as a result. Great card!
