Reccomended GTX 780ti Card?

[Mr Arky]

Looking at 780ti cards, a lot of variants not sure which one to go for, currently looking at:

YOUR BASKET
1 x Asus GeForce GTX 780Ti DirectCUII OC 3072MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £551.99
Total : £561.59 (includes shipping : £8.00).



Compared to others, Im sure there not much of a difference, is this a good/well received brand?

I'd recommend getting an EVGA card instead due to a far better warranty.

Card is slightly faster also with a better overclock.

EVGA + Gigabyte offer the best RMA policies right now try to select one of those brands instead. Most cards are reliable but if you do get issues some brands keep you waiting a long time.

EVGA + Gigabyte seem the best Nvidia brands at the moment.

This.

I always go gigabyte where possible as the customer support has been amazing.

The ASUS is really good but not worth the premium.

The DC2 you picked originally is my current favorite 780 Ti and I have tested a lot!! Infact almost all of em!!

 

[thefogo]

Yeah the cooler is very good. Though mine was a very bad overclocker.

So you've opened them all then?

I am finding that with even with a slight overclock it's still eats through everything with plenty of power left in it still.
Temps are nice and cool too!

lol you should not be giving out advice to us mere mortals on cards to pick

We do care about warranty, costs and what we can do with stock/water cooling without hard modding things.

I tested a lot of cards on air too. DC2 consistently the best option from my testing. Matrix is also good as is Classified.

Whats the deal with the Ti cards? Are you just paying an extra few hundred quid for out of box overclocks or do you get better components, all metal etc?

so 70mhz increased core clock, 1000 on memory and increased texture units

What does increased texture units give?

 

[triss]

+a few more cuda cores , TI is iirc about 10% ahead of a 780 at the same clocks

No unlocked voltage for everyone on the DCUII or Matrix though. I agree that the PCB on them rivals the Lightnings and Classifieds this time.

I had a 780 and now a 780Ti and I cannot tell the difference between the two in game at 1440p.

My 780Ti runs at 1250Mhz on the core and uses the reference cooler which I think is a superb cooler.
