I just want op to be aware. I was told the classy was a beast and hyped myself up for it, then it could only clock 30mhz on the core at stock volts
That would sting if you paid that much.

Do I really need to explain that one?

Indeed. Around £550 at the time.
Yep, from looking around at numerous forums, the ones who bench are getting massive clocks.
Are you going to be gaming, benching or both? And when i say benching i don't mean running a bench for the sake of it and not caring what the result is, i mean benching to try and get on the scoreboards etc and really pushing the card.
If your just gaming, you don't need to spend the extra on the classy, just grab a cheap ref cooled 780/780ti or a custom cooled 290/290x for a bit less.

And they were right. You're luck with the old silicon lottery is just *****
So why pay more if it could be crap?And they were right. You're luck with the old silicon lottery is just *****
If it's all silicon lottery you might as well just get the cheapest one.

To minimise the odds of getting a crap one by buying a better spec card. Although, they'll always be the odd bad egg that gets through, and as it happens you just manage to find them
So
Options are:
£430 Classy
£450 290X
£480 TI (On offer price)
So im considering price to be null and void in options. Is it worth getting a Classy and aim at clocking to around TI performance.
Get a classy and clock it to around 290x perfomance.
Buy a TI and clock it as far as I can, knowing i'm already sat on very nice performance at stock.
Buy a 290X and Clock it as far as I can.

I had the 780classy and now the 780ti classy would not fault either both have been great cards and both beasts at clocking.
No but why not stick to the 3 cards he asks about?

Surely if you are looking at a 780 then you should also consider this which brings price back into it.
At £329.99
