According to their documents the new heatsink design enhanced the cooling
performance much better than the reference design.
Apart from its weird cooling system, GTX780-DC2-3GD5 (which is similar to
the reference design GTX780-3GD3), is available for me to buy. But I am
not sure that, this is a reliable GPU for MD or it is better to seek for
the GTX780-3GD3.
