Video Card Question

[x1_SnowTiger_1x]

Hi all i have a question in regards to the following video card. EVGA GeForce GTX 780Ti Dual Classified "KINGPIN Edition" usely to put a video card in you need a six pin and 8 pin for it to work corrently am i corrent in saying this. i want to know what i would need to connect it i know my psu as 4 video card pci-express slots on it thanks to any replys you give me im sorry about my spelling i want to put 2 of those in btw

for the KingPin edition you need 2x 8-pins AND a 6-pin (it is a beast of a card)

thanks for your quick reply andy. any ideas to when overclockers will get them in stock and why do you have to have 3 cables going to the card. sorry for the questions

 

[andybird123]

no ideas on the first one

the KingPin edition is a premium overclocking card so it allows for a lot more power to be fed to the card for better/higher overclocks

having said that, you'll only get those sorts of results on water cooling or more, so if you don't plan to push the boundaries of overclocking you might be better off with a regular 780ti (which will use 1 8-pin and 1 6-pin) or something like a normal Classified (not KingPin) which uses 2 x 8-pin

i really thank you for your advice andy i think im going to go with a regular ti card. what do you guys recomend me geting out of the EVGA cards thanks to any replys you give me

 

[x1_SnowTiger_1x]

was thinking of going for two of those what do you guys think ? EVGA GeForce GTX 780Ti Dual Classified ACX

Any particular reason you want an EVGA card? At current prices the MSI Gaming Edition is by far the best value.

iv always had EVGA thefogo they have never let me down. i have the money for the EVGA card plus i had a MSI mother board that whent fault a few times. i dont really want to buy two of those to find they do the same. i whent from a MSI z67 board to a Asus z77 ROG board and its not let me down thanks to any replys you give me

 

[thefogo]

Fair enough. For SLI I'd recommend either the Superclock or Superclock ACX, depending on your case airflow. For single card the ACX would be best.

the case i have is a Corsair 900D would that be great for the build i want to do. regarding the video cards

 

[thefogo]

Oh Are you watercooling?

 

[x1_SnowTiger_1x]

more then likey yeah i am was debaiting weather i sould go for a haswell but it seams pointless cus you get very little gains from a ivy-bridge

 

[thefogo]

If watercooling then just go with the reference cards mate.
Either that or the Classifieds. No guarantee they'll be better though.
