Which company makes the best performance 780 card?

[Arishok N7]

There are so many different forms of the 780. I might upgrade to one, it's just which one should I upgrade to. It's quite simple, which one will give me the best frames in a game overall.

There isn't much difference between all gtx 780 models. Maybe 2 or 3 frames either way but you might benefit from more vram. The evga is a fan favorite and the one I would reccomend.

theres no real best but i prefer evga for customer support and 5 year warranty

Asus Directcu ii , its not the fastest out of the box, but it is the fastest when overclocked to its maximum... also what is your budget? because if you really want the fastest then the evga kingpin or msi lightening is what you're really looking at

The GPU is the same in all of them. The only difference is the PCB and cooler.

The best price/performance/temperature is the EVGA 780 w/ ACX Cooler.

thats a good choice also comes with good customer support and good warranty

I do not plan to overclock my GPU at all. I'll just take whatever is the fastest out of the box.

The Asus one can't be the fastest when OC to the max anyway. It's actually lower-clocked by stock and the cooler is not as good when OC'd to the max. That would be best used with water cooling so that's a moot point.

The EVGA one that I mentioned is the best for you.

EVGA all the way! Top of the notch GPU!
I got three EVGA gtx 770 supercloked with ACX cooler, they're a beast!!

the one i posted is the fastest out of the box imo

 

[ksham]

True. But that fraction bit faster costs quite a bit. I was thinking of this one.

I'm using an EVGA card right now. It's done well for me. Is there a 780 chart that I can look at?

Chart for what?

 

[Arishok N7]

A chart that compares every 780. Temps, power, frames, price things like that.

 

[iceclock]

theres no such charts

If you read my earlier posts, the GPU is the same in all of them. The only difference is the cooler and PCB. You'll have to research each one individually. For temperatures, I believe it goes like: EVGA ACX = Gigabyte Windforce < ASUS DirectCU II, MSI Twin Frozr < everything else. For power, they all use the same amount of power. Frames, it depends but you are looking at maybe 1-2 frames difference, so it's not a big deal. It's marginally larger for synthetic benchmarks and if you OC / Boost. Price is dependent in location and availability.

But there's no chart for comparing all of those because most are too subjective.

he wants the best stock speeds.

seems like a waste of money

You're the one with a 1000 watt PSU.
