Best gtx 780 ti card?

[gamer1411]

Do you maybe have a list of ALL gtx 780 ti cards. Also which one is the best?No price,just perfomance?

Can you please line this graphic in order,best to worse:

Thank you

My recommendation is any of these EVGA cards which you have linked. EVGA cards are very good at their performance, remains cools thanks to their ACX tech and most of all, EVGA's customer support service is very good and effective. I myself am using EVGA GTX 780Ti Superclocked and this is a beast with beastly performance with room for more overclocking.

Recommended brand: EVGA

GTX 780 Ti Market Overview. It might be a little out of date, but most models are listed.

Any of those cards that you listed would be great. Of that list I would rule out the EVGA SC card because underneath the ACX cooler its a reference design. All the other cards, including the EVGA Classified, feature all custom upgraded components and PCBs. Frankly, I'd pick the cheapest of the three.

 

[The Builder]

The EVGA GTX 780 Ti Classified ACX is the clear winner here. It's pretty hard to beat EVGA in terms of quality, performance and support.

If you want the absolute GTX 780 Ti, grab the KPE edition.

They basically differ on gpu clock speed and cooling system. Among the three of then, EVGA Classified and Asus are the best IN MY OPINION. Asus has an excellent cooling system and has the highest clock, not to mention that it already comes with a backplate. I'd choose Asus.

 

[kunthakenthe]

if you can get it a msi lighting a beast over clocker beautiful to.

oh never mind its 780 but the evga classfied kingpin is best they even let you upgrade to 6gb for free(i think i was promotion going on

 

[kunthakenthe]

but asus is like 1 out 10 its a 9.9 because evga lets you get 6gb

There are three categories of cards ....

1. The highly specialized cards such as the MSI Lightning and Classified Kingpin. MSI decided not to release the Lightning for the 780 Ti.

2. The non reference cards, the big 4 being the MSI N Gaming Series, the Asus DCII, Gigabyte Windforce and EVGA SC series. Here the MSI is the clear and unequivacal standout. Just about every roundup review puts the EVGA SC at the bottom of the four for the 780 and 780 Ti. On the 780....

http://us.hardware.info/reviews/4639/10/nvidia-geforce-gtx-780-asus-vs-evga-vs-inno3d-vs-msi-conclusion

It must be noted that since this review, MSI revamped their 780 and boosted it by 52 MHz..... while I'd still agree with the author that the Asus is the best choice under water, on air, I'd take the MSI because of the huge noise advantage.

As for the 780 Ti, it's not even close .... read these:

MSI 780 Ti / 9.8 rating / 1020 Core Speed / 30 dbA under load
http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/MSI/GTX_780_Ti_Gaming/29.html

Asus 780 Ti / 9.4 rating / 954 Core Speed / 39 dbA under load
http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/ASUS/GTX_780_Ti_Direct_Cu_II_OC/29.html

EVGA 780 Ti SC / 9.5 rating / 1006 Core Speed / 35 dbA under load
http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/EVGA/GTX_780_Ti_SC_ACX_Cooler/31.html

EVGA 780 Ti Classified / 9.6 rating / 1020 Core Speed / 36 dbA under load
http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/EVGA/GTX_780_Ti_Classified/29.html


3. Reference cards, nothing significant to distinguish one from the other.

The Classified Kingpin does not appear in your list, is quite expensive and frankly wasted if you are not water cooling. The EVGA Classified series is normally impressive but not so much with the 780 Ti. Will you be using LN2 ? .... if not part of its appeal vanishes . AFAIK, the EvBot accessory is no longer available again erasing one of the most notable features of the card. The 2nd BIOS is there is convenient of ya will be messing with BIOS flashing, but if you are not doing that either, you have just lost the last reason to consider the Classified based upon it's unique features.

So.... from a speed standpoint we have a tie with the EVGA Classy and the MSI ..... the Classy however produces a sound pressure level 4 times that of the MSI and the Classy is 10% more expensive. The Asus is twice as loud as the MSI and the Asus us by far the lowest clocked. All 4 use Hynix memory so no points to knock off there.

Given the MSI is the highest rated, highest clocked, lowest noise by an extreme amount and lowest price, this should be an extremely easy decision. Of course if budget allows, you are going to put it under water, and be tweaking voltages and that kinda stuff the Classified Kingpin is the way to go.

i actually suggest r9 290x lighting its just as powerful as a 780ti at 200$ dollars less andy you oc it better than a 780ti ever be

 

[iceclock]

id say the evga classified be the best one here. overclocks well. quality control is great at evga and they got one of the best customers service around.

 

[kunthakenthe]

and who are you ice clock i outa... oh i see master. Do you like nvidia better than amd dont you think the r9 290x is better price/performance

 

[JackNaylorPE]

Ya gotta give the 290x the edge at 2560 and 4k res but not at 1920....At 1920 it even has trouble catching the 780 when overclocked "bawls to the wall". Numbers at 8:40 mark.

I have never gotten better than 16% (7 - 16%) on a 290x and routinely get 20 - 25% on 780 / 780 Ti's.

The fact that the 780 Ti alone has about the same number of cards in use as all R9 200 series put together.

That would depend upon the res at which OP would be playing at. At any res under 4k, 780Ti is a clear winner but at 4k 512-bit interface of R9 290X gives itself a winning edge.

i dont think you got a good one you know the saying no silicon is the same as another some on can up the memory by 125mhz at 1.215v another at 1.414v

your right in that sense also 780ti has faster memory but at higher resoultion its slower(couple fps) but a multi monitor could benifit from the r9 290x

Think I got a bad 7 of em ? What about the reviewers ?

i heard the r9 290 has good oc. Sorry maybe you got 7 bad ones (lol). If you get a good one they are very comparble in performance for such a huge price gap $200 dollars

 

[iceclock]

lol bad of 7 eh doesnt seem right mate.

 

[Legend001525]

For the same price as a classified 780ti you can get the inno3d 780ti dhs edition, which has a slightly higher base clock and looks more badass ( if you're bothered about looks)

 

[iceclock]

id stick with the evga here.

 

[Shasha23]

MSI gtx780ti TF gaming OC edition better and cheaper

 

[JackNaylorPE]

They were 7 separate builds .... not 7 cards for the same build

Here's the deal..... historically AMD and nVidia both were quite conservative on the Clock Settings "outta the box", allowing us to feel good about ourselves when we got those..... what appeared to all of us .... "searing 20% OC's".... I have seen 560 Ti's hit 30%.

But AMD changed the paradigm with the R7/9 200 series. The cards are aggressively overclocked right outta the box. The ultra setting is a very, very aggressive OC resulting in large power consumption, noise and, relevant to the issue here, loss of OC Headroom. Whether that was a good idea or a bad idea remains to be seen. On one hand it gives the cards better performance numbers but worse power / noise numbers. It also gave users some confidence who were afraid of OC'ing themselves that they were "guaranteed" that performance rather than wondering if they were gonna be one of the lucky ones.

That forced us to look at cards in a different way. So when someone asks what is the best card, I have to ask in turn whether they are comfortable with manually overclocking their cards. If they say no.... then I have a tendency to lean a bit more to AMD as they already did that. Same thing even w/ brands..... you will see many people (outside of Lightning / Classified territory) give Asus the nod for the best cards yet to my mind Asus should be embarrassed by their measyly "outta the box" factory OC's.

For the 780 Ti we have Asus at a measly 954 Mhz, EVGA at 1006, MSi and Giga at 1020. Here I like MSI on air and either MSI or Asus under water.... but I could not recommend the Asus in good conscience to someone who will lose 11% to the competition because they are not confortable OC'ing their card

For the 780 we have Asus at a measly 889 Mhz, EVGA at 967, MSi and Giga at 1006. Here again I like MSI on air and the Asus or MSI under water (Everyone used Samsung memory on this model, but it was reported the Asus switched to Elpida at some point) .... but I could not recommend the Asus in good conscience to someone who will lose 13% to the competition because they are not comfortable OC'ing their card

For the 770 we have Asus at a measly 1058 Mhz, EVGA at 1111, MSi and Giga at 1137. Here again I like MSI on air and the Asus or MSi under water (everybody used Samsung memory on this model) .... but I could not recommend the Asus in good conscience to someone who will lose 7% to the competition because they are not comfortable OC'ing their card

 

[iceclock]

first of all evga has longer warranty. quality control and i trust there products more than msi :-0

 

[Shasha23]

all that sounds nice and all but I doubt anyone will keep a card for more that 3years anyway so who cares?
its not like the MSI card will fail or break in 5years time anyway

edit : + its cheaper, looks cooler and its silent

 

[JackNaylorPE]

I do have to say I don't quite understand MSI's warranty of 3 years parts / 2 years labor (EVGA is 3/3) . If my card dies, what are they gonna do, charge me for packing the replacement card in a box ?

Curious as to what do you base their quality control abilities on.



EVGA 780 Ti = 3 year warranty
