Which gtx 780 card?

[lazysuperhero]

Right. In the market for a graphics card. Kinda pretty set on the gtx 780. But which one. Last time i bought a card it was an EVGA one.

I'd like to stick with the reference blower. No fans. But which of the 780gtxs should i go for?

Thanks.

Should post this on the GPU section. Evga still make good cards.

Theres the odd MSI ones about at around £350 if you can find em though OcUK seems to be out of stock now (no suprise) and many of the cheaper reference cooler ones are out of stock.

EVGA or Gigabyte would be my first choice - that WF3 cooler on the gigabyte is really good but the EVGAs seem to edge it a bit on the silicon lottery as a generalisation if your overclocking.

After that my next choice would be the Gainward GLH.

Hey guys. Thanks for all the advice and recommendations.

I ended up going with was the Gigabyte GTX 780 GHZ Edition. It was neck and neck between it and the GTX780 Classified. Since i don't want to overclock gpu (never done it before) The gigabyte seemed to have more bang straight out of the box for the price compared to 780 Classified.

Plus the blackscreen issues that just popped up all over the place put me off a bit.

Might still get Classifieds in the future, as my future upgrades will be 2/3 780s or 780ti's in SLI (I'm building a system around an Asus Rampage IV Extreme MOBO inside a Corsair 540 Air)

Full spec:

Asus Rampage IV Extreme
i7 4820k (will overclock to 4.4 maybe)
Corsair Vengeance Pro silver 16GB (4X4) 2133
Corsair 860W AXi Modular 80 plus Platinum
Gigabyte gtx780 GHZ Edition
Corsair H100i
