Adding a water block doesn't void EVGA's warranty.

Even if it did void the warranty which everyone just said it doesn't nobody should be upset because everyone knew that there would be a 780 hydrocopper. They were even allowed to make a titan hydrocopper, so it was inevitable.

I knew someone would say something like this, because there's a difference of $250 between $750 and $1000, and I'm looking to getting 2 or 3 of them for nvidia surround.

Well if you are getting multiple cards, yeah it makes sense, for one card i'd just buy a Titan myself.
Mind you here in Australia we get ripped

Titan $1200
Galaxy Ref 780 $760
GigabyteRef 780 $850

I'm guessing a 780 with 6Gb will be atleast $950

I'm hoping for a $750 price since its usually been a $100 increase in between a normal version and a version with more memory, but if it does end up being $950 then bye bye pc gaming.

Jacob over on the EVGA forums already said there will be no 6gb 780's from anyone in the foreseeable future: my guess is they don't want to cannibalise Titan sales. Which does make some - albeit aggravating, sense.

New Zealand is worse.

Titan $1800-2400 depending on store.

Not really. You end up paying $100 more than if you bought your own block anyways, at least that was the case with the Titans

The HC cards are actually $150 more usually. But you do get a free backplate with them so it's about the same in the end.

With the 680 it was nothing really, since they were so voltage locked. I think with the 780's, Evga will have a custom bios and PCB that has more voltage phases and higher TDP limit, but that's just my guess. I would check this link for details on the air-cooled Classified, should be the same card. Thier page for it has the following things listed in green, which means they are are reference:

EVGA ACX Cooler
14+3 Power Phases
++ Power Target
Dual BIOS
Dual 8pin Power Input

Replace the ACX cooler with the Waterblock.

Still ugly as sin.
I would rather put on my own block, with much better looks.

This.
