I have been waiting a while for an uprated PWM 780 Ti card to arrive into Overclockers UK. 780 Ti has phenomenal performance but just like Titan in reference form has a PWM not suited to what I need when extreme Overclocking on LN2 cooling. When the prestigious EVGA 780 Ti Classfied arrived into the Overclockers UK offices with its proven PWM power delivery and awesome clocking potential I thought I would see what it was capable of on all types of cooling. I decided to start with air so the gamers can see what they can expect out of the box. With this adding to my previous air cooled results posted on here in which I had benched all the current top GPU and finishing with LN2 and hopefully a record or two.
The system I used for ragging (I mean testing) was my standard review system. So ASUS M6G, 4770K @5ghz, Corsair DDR2600 Fast and Tight and the new addition Superflower Leadex 1200w PSU with its very strong 12v Rail.
OS was Windows 7 64 Bit
Nvidia drivers where version 331.82
In the graphs below you see the results for the EVGA 780 TI classified against the best of the rest in Heaven 3.0 at 4xAF, 4XAA and Normal Tessalation (As used all over these forums), Valley in Xtreme HD preset ,3D Mark 11 Performance Pre set ,Firestrike and Firestrike Xtreme Presets.
As you can see from the graphs the winner in every bench mark was the EVGA 780 Ti Classified. This is a little surprising for me as some of the bench marks I ran do tend to favour AMD. This 780 ti Classfied is raw GPU power.
The main reason the 780 ti Classy did so well is its ability to overclock stably to higher levels than the rest or indeed any Ti I have tested thus far. The core benched all day at 1335mhz and the memory an incredible 8200mhz which is the most I have seen on any GPU even on LN2 cooling. The cooler is very quiet and very efficient at removing heat even when the card is pushed hard. Build quality definitely translates into mhz where this card is concerned.
In summary then the 780 ti Classy is the best card I have tested to date on air cooling. I would certainly recommend it to anyone who has this kinda money for a GPU. I am fairly certain given water cooling around 1400mhz will be possible.
Next the LN2 pass me the EVbot someone!!!
