WTF???
The custom cards come with better coolers than the reference cards..
Custom coolers generally blow the hot air in to the case, whilst reference cards exhaust 99% of the hot air, this is what I want and the titan cooler is the best on the market yet we can't buy one even though they are in 90% of reviews and even marketed by Nvidia for the 770
Blower design:

The cooler on the reference 770 isn't the same as the Titan btw.
And? I want the titan cooler if I'm gonna invest in this Nvidia re-badge of the 680, not a generic cooler this ships on every reference 680
You want the Titan cooler you have to buy a Titan I'm afraid.
Or if you can't afford that, the cooler on the 780 is very similar, especially in terms of appearance.
Titan/780 cooler all the same.The card being reviewed by nearly all review sites has it and even nvidia market the 770 with it, so why is it not available? dodgy nvidia.
Inno3d seem to have a titan cooler on the 770
They are not the same, they are superficially the same but use different materials.
Nvidia doesn't let partners use an inferior cooler to the reference design so I wouldn't worry.
Even though the EVGA cooler looks very different the performance will be the same or better.
And it's £30 more expensive (the inno3d with reference cooler). You can't get this reviewed card at the reviewed price, it's pretty shady.
£30 more expensive than what?
The review doesn't mention a price.
The EVGA card is the cheapest there is (on Scan).
Not bad not bad. You getting more for less with the GTX 770. Cudos for the 7gbs memory clock speed.
If anyone does want a reference card:

Same price as all the others (£330).
That just means you'll get a random 770 doesn't it? Not a reference one.
A lucky dip?
You'll get a generic (reference) 770 as it says.
Gibbo,who is the purchasing manager over on OcUK,mentioned the GTX770 reference cooler was not cheap,hence AIB partners going for their own solutions:

I'm not sure about that as they have a stock ASUS card that seems to have the Titan cooler included but thats £384.

You might just get a random brand in OEM packaging at the RRP like OcUK used to do.
It would be nice if it was and defiantly worth a phone call over.
