GTX 780 question

[mattaku]

Hello all.
I will be purchasing a gtx 780 this coming week and would like input on which route to take:

EVGA GTX 780 Classified

EVGA GTX780 SuperClocked ACX

Gigabyte GTX780 OC

MSI N780 Lighting

I am new to overclocking but would like to learn with small overclocks.
I will be gaming on a 55in tv at 1080p. I will also use a 24in monitor but it will be used for web browsing while gaming.

Thanks so much!

Actually the GPU OC's itself automatically with GPU boost 2.0.

Not that you still can't tinker with things yourself though.

That lightning is a beast card, but is already heavily OC'd so you won't be able to improve on it much. Otherwise the classified has the best quality components in it.

Both good answers that helped. Thanks so much guys.
What is your opinions on the 780 ti? Is it worth the extra 200 dollar price tag for someone gaming on a single screen?

 

[woltej1]

if that screen is 1080p then no, a 780 is all you'll need.

Awesome. Thanks again

A 780 could handle way more than 1080p though. Bit of a waste using it solely on 1080.

TVs also aren't the same as PC monitors, when it comes to gaming.

the 770 will come short on some games for maxing them out at 1080p so you can't say the 780 is a waste since it is the bare minimum card you need to max some current games at 1080p, much less 2 years down the road.
