GTX 780 Owners Club

well that's a bugger, it appears one of the bearings in the ghz edition is faulty. a loud intermitant ticking noise coming from one of the fans after playing a game. switch pc off press slightly on fans and it goes back to normal till after i quit a game.


noooooooooooooo :/

edit: Took a video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHLQzA_UUjU and as you can see the fan nearest the back of the card is creating the "ticking" noise. So looks like my first ever RMA to OcUK tomorrow!

I recently sold my GTX 480's as I was getting a bit fed up of the heat in my room. After an hour of BF3 it would get sort of unbearable and I'd have to open all the windows and doors :(

I put the extra cash together with the money I made on the sale and have bought a EVGA GTX 780 SC reference cooler model. Should get it early next week.

Does anyone here have one of these?

I have one.
 
Nice one, I'm sure there was a point to me asking.. Hmm lol

I'm hoping for a decent clocker, how did you get on with yours?

It runs +200 on the core and +300 on the mem. Boost is 1250Mhz with a decent fan profile set. But tbh I just run it at stock now as at 1080p it's more than enough for me.

Guys, I saw the review of the PNY GeForce GTX 780 XLR8 OC, and at it's prices seems really good (sub £400).

It seems it has a B1 chip, so my question is, do all B1s go 1200+?
 
Not according to tests Gibbo did.

Can't find the post, but it was around the time of the 780 price drop iirc.

Only thing B1's offer is a higher clock out of the box.
 
Just a heads up for those considering Gainward Phantoms...

Just checked both of my cards memory IC's, one is Samsung the other is Elpida, appears to be a bit of a lottery with them!
 
Open NvInspector and put your mouse over the bit that says 'GDDR5' it will bring up what IC's are being used like so:
