I’ve seen misleading information that GK110B wouldn’t be supported by default OS X drivers. My GTX 780 is the rev. 2 with GK110B chip and it works without the web driver. The performance difference (GTX 780 native / GTX 780 web) was not significant in Valley benchmark. Not sure if 6GB makes any difference.

Yes, TITAN BLACK and and GTX 780 Ti may work natively too as they have the same chip. I don't own either of these, so cannot confirm.
This may go off-topic...

Here's my result: MBP11,1 -> Apple 2m Thunderbolt cable -> Apple TB2-to-TB3 adapter -> Devil Box -> RX 480 -> DP-DP cable -> U28D590 monitor:
So TB3 does not bring more speed in Valley bench.

@ikir: It’s worth to see if you’ve "Displays have separate spaces" checked under Mission control. It was turned on in my test. All other apps closed. It may have some effect, especially when testing internal screen performance. If there are other apps and windows open across both displays, it will yield a lower score.

@goalque
No other apps running, but "display have separate spaces" is turned on (and very handy). Do you suggest to turn it off?

Guys, have you notice they changed the price from 249 to 269 since more than a week?? I was about to order one (even that I live in Europe and the customs are superhigh... and the costs was more than USD400) but now...
Would love that amazon could sell it too here... and I would be more than happy to get one of this or a Core... but nothing here.
Very disappointing.
Still waiting for Node to become available in italy... any more rumors about the new AKitio box with 60-80w PD?
