what is the best version of the GTX 780?

[JacobDG0821]

I'm looking for a Version of the GTX 780 that will give me the best preformance with SLI and single.

I'm thinking on getting a ASUS Or EVGA Version.

Specs;
CPU:Intel Core i7 3930K
GPU😀ual SLI GTX 780
PSU:Seasonic X-1250 1250w
Cooler:NZXT Cooler X60

I'd definitively get this one : http://www.superbiiz.com/detail.php?name=EV-780SCAX&c=CJ.

Why not go Lightning? That thing looks beyond epic in the metal.

I'd say because it is about $120 more, but well, that is just my opinion.

If you want the absolute best performance, the MSI Lightning GTX 780 is your best bet, as Zero Cool previously stated. But when it comes to best bang for buck, the Gigabyte 780 may be better. However, the EVGA w/ ACX cooling is not slouch either.

the fastest I believe is the 780 HOF http://www.tomshardware.com/news/Hall-Fame-HOF-770-780,23691.html

Nice comparison here:

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

All four manufacturers - ASUS, EVGA, Inno3D and MSI - made something special out of their GeForce GTX 780. The card that impressed us the most, however, was the ASUS GTX780-DC2OC-3GD5. The new cooler works like charm, and its performance is clearly reflected by the test results. The card also manages to stay very quiet and offers the best overclocking potential thanks to the new cooler. ASUS earns the Gold Award for its card.

We can't leave out the card from MSI. While it's slightly less overclocked and has less overall overclocking potential than the cards from Inno3D and EVGA, it's extremely quiet under load, the most silent of them all. It's also significantly cheaper than the other three, so if you're not planning on extreme overclocking, this MSI card is the best option.

An honorable mention goes to the Inno3D card. Out of the box it's the fastest, and while you can yourself get the other cards to the same level of performance, it's nice to have it guaranteed if you're not an experienced overclocker.

The EVGA ACX Superclocked also isn't a bad card. The only problem is that about the same amount of money will net you the ASUS card, a card which is superior in terms of cooling, noise and overclocking potential. EVGA will have to drop its prices to MSI levels to keep its card interesting.

That roundup doesn't have a Lightning in it. I wasn't convinced it was worth $120 more either, until I saw it.

At $770, I'll take two Gigabyte Windforce 770s for $10 less.
