The best gtx 780ti...

[dpassenger97]

Hey im planning to buy a GTX 780ti and my budget is $730. which one should i choose:

EVGA GTX 780ti ACX SC
Asus GTX 780ti direct CU2
Gigabyte gtx 780ti GHz edition
MSI twinfrozer 780ti

which is the best in terms of over-clocking and performance

evga all the way, but also the gigabyte, then msi, then asus. the evga and gigabyte have the good voltage controllers and hynix or samsung memory, msi unfortunately uses crappy elpida memory, and the asus has a voltage locked controller.

if your not going to overclock, none of this makes much difference. the gigabyte ghz will have an edge as it uses an 8+3 phase power delivery and its silicon is slightly binned on an ncp4208 controller. the evga uses the reference ncp4206 which is still very good.

but evga for their outstanding warranty and customer service.

if you want to overclock like crazy, get the evga classified 780ti.

But there are some issues with Being reported with the gigabyte ghz model because its too overclocked..like issues with cooling...

I was in the same situation a month ago. Ended up going with the EVGA ACX because it overclocks well, has good and quiet cooling, but for the most part their customer service is excellent. When buying such an expensive card, I want to be sure I don't get screwed over by having to deal with crappy customer service/RMA process.

all 780ti's create more heat, the coolers are the same as far as 780 to 780ti, most 780s will reach the 80c after a modest overclock, the 780ti's just get there quicker. regular 780s overclock better on stock or aftermarket air because they dont create as much heat.

Actually, the only one I would rule out is the EVGA due to its all reference PCB design. The other cards all come with custom upgraded components.
