That's the beauty of these "OC" or "Gigahertz Edition" cards, they may be OC'd as far as the original NVidia spec is concerned, but for all intents and purposes they're not overclocked at all as far as the user is concerned.
Both these reviews show the 780Ti being faster at stock speeds than a 780 6Gb card at stock speeds.

As it's not Tweaktown though, I guess the reviewers don't know what they are doing.

As for other reviews I am waiting for them to come out, but those two clearly show that at stock before a overclock the GTX780Ti is faster!!

So as I said I am happy having a faster card at stock and a faster card when I overclock it.

I will wait for the OC3D review and Bit-Tech reviews though since they run test's when the card, is at stock and overclocked against other cards that are at stock and overclocked, compared to Tweaktown who run the overclocked cards against stock cards.
