NVIDIA Preparing GeForce GTX 780 GHz Edition?
With AMD's Radeon R9 290X and the upcoming Radeon R9 290, both NVIDIA's GTX TITAN, and GTX 780 are disrupted at their price points. NVIDIA is fixing its GTX TITAN competitive woes with the GeForce GTX 780 Ti, but it's looking like the GTX 780, despite its price cut to $500, could face trouble from the cheaper Radeon R9 290. NVIDIA's more hands-on solution? Launch a new SKU, that's and backed by non-reference designs for the most part, which some of its add-in card (AIC) partners are referring to as "GeForce GTX 780 GHz Edition."
Simply put, the "GeForce GTX 780 GHz Edition" is your ordinary GTX 780 with increased clock speeds of 1006 MHz core, 1046 MHz GPU Boost, and an untouched 6.00 GHz memory. The card is based on a new stepping of the GK110 silicon, labeled "GK110-300-B1," compared to the original's "GK110-300-A1." Expreview discovered its Inno3D GTX 780 iChill HerculeZ 3000 graphics card to be based on this new silicon, and at its given speeds of 1006/1046/6008 MHz, found to to be about 15 percent faster than a standard GTX 780, and about 7 percent faster than a GTX TITAN. It's also about 6.2 percent faster than an R9 290X on the same test-bed. Power consumption isn't up significantly, and the cooler that's an Arctic Cooling solution, does a good job at keeping the temperatures manageable, and keeps throttle limits away. Find the complete review at the source.

In fact, it was. Just as soon as AMD decides to compete, nVidia responds with new rebrands, new overclocked cards, new bundles, and lower prices. All across the board.
If only AMD had shown up earlier this year when they were scheduled to, we'd have such crazy prices now as to blow our minds. Alas, AMD gave us Never Settle and asked us... to settle.
GTX 780 Ti - Base model
GTX 780 Ti Boost - Higher clock, They already used the "Boost" name with the 650s
But that is just me and my experience.
Either you live in the Sahara, or just used mayonnaise as thermal paste.

i was just thinking of this
