GTX 780 Owners Club

The worse thing is, I want to have a play with one of those Gigabyte GTX 780 GHz Editions, I've got to talk myself out of it... lol :o

I bet they will do 1300 MHz on average, I hope I'm wrong and they do a lot more, but my current Windforce does 1215 MHz, so probally an absolute waste of money.

I'd love to know if they are binned or not

my 480 SOC wasn't a very good overclocker at all - in fact wouldn't even run at factory overclock settings (for my systems) out of the box even :( had to bump volts up quite a bit

but my RMA replacement 570 SOC is a monster overclocker, at low volts even

so I feel its prob still a bit luck of the draw

all these manufacturers that sell factory OC'd GPUs - do people think they test every one - or just do a dip selection per batch ?

No they're not, the standard Hydrocopper cards/blocks are pretty good (I have one and their the same as the Titan Hydrocopper block). However the classified one would best be described as god awful garbage.

A normal block has a channel system cut into the copper and it flows over the GPU/RAM/VRMs, however on the Swiftech blocks the channel is cut into the acetal instead enabling them to use less copper (this isn't exactly a bad thing, just a cost saving that isn't passed on to the consumer), the kicker though is that I think Swiftech rushed this block as it has more in common with the 770 block than the Titan block, you may remember a while back people slated XSPC for releasing a block that didn't flow water over the VRM's? well this block has the same issue, but in this case its because it doesn't even cover the VRM's, they just get a solid lump of copper over them bolted to the same black acetal as the main copper block O.o why they figured this was acceptable on the classified block when they had done a proper job on the standard 780 block I have no idea (granted that card did use the Titan block, but still).

Thanks for head explanation on this will be going for the EK ones just a little disappointed that it does not cover the entire PCB :(

That is not one of the new GTX 780 GHz versions with the new B1 stepping..

That Zotac one is just an overclocked A1 version..

Doubt it

The B1 steeping isn't exclusive to the GHz edition, as pointed out by Gibbo Inno3D and a few other manufacturers are using it.

The Zotac is clocked exactly to the B1 spec cards to the MHz, so you could either class that as a huge coincidence or the more likely scenario 99.9% using the B1 stepping.

- Core Base Clock: 1006 MHz

Same as Inno3d settings

Just look on the GPU itself i.e. take off the cooler, it will say either A1, or B1.

My review sample of GALAXY 780 HOF has B1 stepping with 1136MHz boost clock. (GPU-Z reported A1 revision)

Well, my EVGA Classified turned up this morning, so it looks like I have joined the club :)

Just need to start saving for a second one now!

Oh, and can someone please tell me if this is a good score?

Also, even though the specs say it will boost to 1046Mhz, mine seems to manage 1110.5Mhz out of the box according to GPU-Z. Is this also a good result?

Thanks.
