I saw that too.  I bet we see a classified version of this.  I was not expecting it to have an 8 and 6 pin, I expected two 8's.  Having said that, I am not waiting as soon as these hit Amazon I'm pre-ordering two at least I will have them SOME day.

Some thoughts.  Does anyone think this is, in fact, a buff version of the 780?  I would expect the 780 to have either 4 or even 3 GB of RAM with slightly slower clocks, but at 499.

I meant when we can.... when they hit Amazon....

It seems as though from the pic of the PCB there is room for another 8 pin connector, and there is also a lot of underutilized space on the PCB. I wonder if this is just the beginning and we will see a more powerful variant with a more robust VRM and higher power draw/requirement? Or am I way off here?

I wish that Geforce logo was white.

1. Take a HQ photo of the side of the card, use your choice of photo editor and make the letters white while erasing everything around the letters, except for a thin black outline.  
2. Then print it out to scale.  
3. Cut the letters out and stick them backwards on some clear duct tape or packing tape (smallest piece you can afford).  
4. Then paste it over the green letters:  Voila, no warranty voided by trying to paint it and you can remove the tape anytime for RMA.
5. From there you can apply any color using vinyl sheets to enable blue or yellow or red, if you want to print letters on them and cut them out, go for it.

That sounds like a good idea but I think they heat would remove my stickers.

I don't think heat will be that much of an issue, the casing is plastic and some distance away from the heatsink; the letters may not get that warm, they don't look near the heatsink.   Look at a combination of the pictures already presented to us:
