The GHz was the one I was mainly torn towards at the start but there was a lot of love for the classy in this thread.

With a search around the usual Tech shops I can currently pick up the GHz 780 for £379.99 which is £40-£60 cheaper than the classy...

If you can actually get the GHZ from somewhere reliable at that price I'd say go for it, they are great cards. I got mine for only slightly more than that from OcUK on a today only deal and loving it.
 
Hmm looking at the details the GHz for £379.99 only has 2 years warranty... starting to think the extra years warranty is worth the higher price.
 
780 Classy, HOF, Lightening or DC2 all are great cards. I have tested em all and its s silicon lottery which is gonna clock better.
 
I'd also say yes to the Classy. Love mine especially under water.

Love my 2 MSI Gaming OC 780s too. Actually monstrous clockers even at stock volts on air (near enough 1300MHz core).
 
Evga 780 classified.
At this price point its almost a steal.
There is a good review from guru3d, can't link it right no, but it's one of first on google search.
 
To be honest, only the Classy is worth the £400+ price tag; all other GTX780 at over £400 is overpriced IMO, considering 290x can be have with that money.

The MSI Lightning might have worth it, if MSI didn't cheap out on the ram they use for the card...but unfortunately they did. Think I read that they had Sammy ram initially, but they then quietly swapped to different ram (think it was Elpida?) for the later batches.

EVGA uses a mixture now. Sammy is in short supply at the mo.

Right.

Still I think there should be a requirement for manufacturers to list what memory they use for the card, considering the rams are one of the core components that affect the performance directly, like for example:
EVGA GTX780 Classified (Samsung memory)
EVGA GTX780 Classified (Hynix memory)
MSI GTX780 Lightning (Samsung memory)
MSI GTX780 Lightning (Hynix memory)

I doubt "Joe" would be happy to know he paid same money as "Jack" for the same card, but gotten Hynix or Elpida memory instead of Samsung. If he pay less money knowing that it is Hynix/Elpida instead of Sammy, at least it is by choice :o

Sorry to hijack but I've been meaning to upgrade from my 2GB MSI GTX560Ti TwinFrozr for a while and am looking at one of the EVGAs come payday:

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=gx-227-ea&groupid=701&catid=1914&subcat=1341

is the "whisper quiet" sales spiel or are these actually quiet (at least as quiet as my existing card?)
Click to expand...

it's not the quietest card for sure, but it isn't loud. if you want the quietest go for the gaming edition.
This should give you an idea.
EDIT: Not sure how legit that chart is though, as my 7990 was quite a bit louder than my 780 Classy.
