Asus/Gigabite/EVGA etc (780 ti)

[Kendros]

So I am considering getting a 780 TI, I found a buyer for my 670 giving me a good price (basically how much I Paid for it) and I wanted to give myself a present for Christmas and this is it.
I am not sure what Model to get, my 670 is Asus and I love it not had any issues, however I know each Graphics card model has different make that makes it better and I was wondering for this one which make seems best?
Money is not an issue and I got Gigabyte motherboard if that helps.

I got a reference Gigabyte 780 ti when they were on offer and I'm very happy with it, the core clock speed will boost to 1200 MHz with the standard bios and it's happy at 1222 with a custom bios with a tiny bit more voltage. If I was buying one now I would get a non reference cooled one as temperatures are the only thing holding it back. From what I've read the Gigabyte Windforce and the MSI gaming edition perform similarly. I would go with the windforce as I believe it is reference pcb with a better cooler so you could fit a waterblock in the future if you wanted. If you have no interest in watercooling then EVGA classified is the best card, it will run the coolest and should allow the highest overclock (no overclock is guaranteed) ignoring the stupidly expensive kingpin.

Gigabyte for the UK RMA support.

So two posts voting for Gigabyte, Any feedback on the asus one?

I would agree that Evga classified would be best air cooled performer and their warranty support is supposed to be very good.

Gigabyte every time, uk based warranty. Everyone reccomends evga for some reason, germany based warranty that in my experience isnt worth squat.

As you can see Gigabyte has great warranty service but Evga is not far behind and more importantly hopefully you don't need it as both are quality cards

mhm I think I will go for the gigabyte graphics card.
I suppose the performance difference between the two is not that much?

As it's on offer, it's a no brainer.

Sorry Silly question but What one is better and if possible to answer why?

YOUR BASKET
1 x Gigabyte GeForce GTX 780Ti GHz Edition 3072MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card (GV-N78TGHZ-3GD) £629.99
1 x Gigabyte GeForce GTX 780Ti 3072MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £569.99




Seems like the main difference is the cooling system, is one better then the other?

 

[Gregster]

Yep, The cooler on the expensive one is decent but then again, the Titan cooler on the cheaper card is also good. I also expect the Ghz Edition to have a better board layout with uprated VRM's etc.

£50 more is a fair chunk, especially when you are paying this much but it is your choice Kendros

Alright, I think I will go for the windforce one!
