If we rotate the card and look at the backside we can see two SLI connectors, in theory four cards in quad-SLI GPU mode would be supported. Quad SLI however is difficult and often a maze of driver problems, Nvidia has never really recommended and actively supported quad-SLI. But for a handful of benchmarks and sheer e-peen, it will work OK'ish. Honestly we recommend two cards as maximum these days to prevent yourself from daunting problems.

The GTX 780 DC 2 is built with 8 (CPU) +2 (Memory) phase power delivery, ensuring ample room for experimental performance tuning. The reference cards have a 6+2 Phase design. The PCB resembles the the DCU2 version of the product an awful lot really.
 

The DIGI+ VRM digital voltage regulation design augments precision overclocking capabilities, which are further supported by the use of hardened Super Alloy Power components. The Super Alloy Power technology on ASUS graphics cards use a special alloy formula which is highly-magnetic, heat-resistant and anti-corrosive. It should deliver a more stable and quieter operation compared to the reference design. DIGI+ VRM, unlike traditional analog design, is embedded with digital settings to adjust voltage according to different overclocking scenarios. The photo above reveals access point for VGA hotwiring.

We'll teste the card today on a high-end yet moderate machine, the X79 platform with an overclocked Core i7 3960X running at 4600 MHz. The card is 10.5 Inches in length which is like 27 cm for those in that like and reside in the Metric system. The cooler extends one CM further towards 28CM in total though.

That's it for this photoshoot though. We need to tell you a tale or two about the GPU and the architecture of course.
