Do the Gaming edition MSI cards blow air into the case? So if in SLI wouldn't the bottom card get a lot hotter than the other? To me this would cause a heat issue....

Some air does circulate in the case, but about 50% is still exhausted from the rear (unlike windforce or DCU.)

On the other hand, if you DO have an SLI setup, but you have no airflow in your case because you skimped on a $10 intake/exhaust fan, I think there are other worries as well.

Additionally, heat rises up, a bottom card would always run cooler than a top card because of basic physics.

Good point. Would I be better off with the stock MSI cards instead then if I plan to SLI or would the gaming 780s be better even though they part exhaust into the case. I plan on going with a Define R4 case. 2 x 140mm in front, 1 x 140mm on back and a H100I in the roof (2x 120mm), maybe a 140mm in the bottom if I have room once I install my H1000W psu.

I'd love to get the gaming cards to match the GD65 motherboard I'm planning on getting, but only if heat isn't a major issue.

Thoughts?

I think the temperature headroom on the card is large enough to not run into throttling issues and since there is enough spacing between the cards (3 slots between 1st and 2nd PEGx16) it shouldn't be an issue, especially with plenty of airflow from your fans.

Thanks very much for your input. 2 gaming GTX 780s it is then.

Any idea when we can expect these to hit the shelves? thumb.gif

Kindly check with your local retailler, they should be available (and shipping) in Europe this week.

MSI just released this: http://www.guru3d.com/news_story/msi_geforce_gtx_780_gaming_edition_released.html
I wonder if this isn't what's mistaken for an MSI GTX780 Lightning?
Why is MSI always so late with new cards built with their own special touches?
If they came out at a reasonable time their brand would always be my top choice in videocards.
