Goes Like Hell! Not simply 'OC', 'Super' or even 'Ultra'. This edition, as the name implies goes faster than anything on this material earth, matched only by beings from an unearthly plane of existence. How true this is we will see later in the review but with a heavily overclocked NVIDIA GTX780 at it's heart, coupled with the innovative and powerful 'Phantom' cooling design, on paper at least you would expect a graphic card of this nature to very fast but hopefully not as hot as hell!

We loved the new Phantom cooler when we first examined it in our Gainward GTX770 Phantom Review so we know just how capable it is. It did however seem a little over the top to put such a fine example of cooling prowess on what is essentially a tweaked GTX680. The cooling power of the Phantom deserved a bigger challenge so to that end Gainward not only offered up the GK110 core - the same core used on NVIDIA's finest GTX TITAN but also overclocked the 'hell' out of it. With the reference speeds of 863/6008 (core/memory) clocked to 980/6200 it is one of the highest factory overclocked cards available (at time of review). These overclocked figures result in a GPU BOOST 2.0 clockspeed of 1033MHz. A GTX780 running at 'stock' over 1Ghz? Goes like hell indeed!
