Choosing the right GTX 780

[iOzZ]

hi, so im building my first gaming pc and now i cant decide between these two graphic card:
Gigabyte GTX 780 GHz Edition - $509 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125488)
EVGA GTX 780 SC w/ ACX - $509 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130918)
I see the gigabyte has higher clock but a lot of people went with EVGA.
Please help me choose the right one. I do plan to OC it in the future. And also i will get another one for 2-way sli next month or this summer.

i have the gtx780 twinfrozr gaming OC by MSI and couldnt be happier the card is very silent even at 60% fan speed and themps wont go higher than 60c at full load and the card ovrclock to 1275mhz on stock voltage...awesome card and very sexy i recommand it...

The EVGA w/ACX fans is a great card. Super quiet and looks great can't really ask for more.

some users have reorted that the evga 780 wont overclock very far but this might be that they have got unlucky on he silicon lottery or something...the windforce on the giga is loud that i know my previous card was a gigabyte 7950 and it was very loud...

i dont think i'd mind the noise...unless its like a blow dryer

If you want a GTX 780 that looks bad ass, and is able to keep cool. Check out these ones

I forgot to mention i kinda 2 of the cards to fit into a CM N200 case.

seing that youre an overclocker and you dont mind the fans noise then the gigabyte is suited for you the windforce cooler keeps the cards cooler but he is louder...

Oh, nvm then. These might fit ur case tho
Gainward GeForce GTX 780 Phantom
if not then u should go with EVGA Classified ACX GTX 780

 

[paitjsu sadff]

mojojo likes to recommand wierd card by untrusted company isnt it? i dont think the premium cost to pay for the classified is justified eiter even for an overclocker as most 780 will reach about 1300mhz anyway..

 

[iOzZ]

wait so will 2 gigabyte gtx 780n ghz edition fit into my case? cus pcpartpicker didnt show any errors.

 

[paitjsu sadff]

if one fit in the case then yes 2 will most likely fit...but can your powersupplyacomodate 2 cards like that and does your motherboard is equiped with 2 pcie 16x slots?

 

[paitjsu sadff]

they will run hot and loud in that case if they fit i can tell you that...if you have the money to get 1100$ worth of gpus you should get a new case...

well my friend really wants to stick with this case so can you give me other gtx 780 options that fit well in 2-way sli?

 

[paitjsu sadff]

nope the 780s are all dual slot designs, asus even has a triple slot card...but the case seems well ventilated so it might work after all...you should google the subget and see if other users tried it an sli on that case with dual slot cards and see what they think...i dont know really...

well ive checked everything and im sure they will fit. So which one is cooler and will overclock better? or overall better? Gigabyte GTX 780 GHz or EVGA GTX 780 SC w/ EVGA ACX Cooler? same prices so...

 

[paitjsu sadff]

the gigabyte windforce cooler will keep better temperature on the card and will allow for more overclocking but he is also louder...
