Lukas026 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Hello there I recently joined this forum and this is my first post here, so if I'll make some mistakes, please let me know I had to RMA my ASUS GTX 690 and it seems noone in our country have it in stock atm. So I am wondering which card would be the best buy for me these day ? I will write down my own candidates: ASUS GTX 780 DC2OC GTX780-DC2OC-3GD5 - Graphics Cards - ASUS EVGA 780 Classifed EVGA | Products ASUS GTX 690 GTX690-4GD5 - Graphics Cards - ASUS Galaxy HOF 780 Galaxy ASUS GTX Titan GTXTITAN-6GD5 - Graphics Cards - ASUS or I will wait for MSI 780 Lightning What do you think ? Any other card which I should mention ? Which one would be best ? My concern is mostly gaming (Crysis 3 / Tomb Raider / Far Cry 3 / Metro LL). My RIG spec: i5 3570k @ 4.6 Ghz Noctua NH-D 14 MSI z77 Mpower Kingston HyperX 1600 Mhz 2x4 GB Corsair AX750 WD Caviar Black 1TB Fractal Design Define R4 Dell U2412M Thank you for your replies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatboyslimerr Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Unless you like the stock cooler of GTX 780 I really like the look of the [h=1]EVGA GeForce GTX 780 ACX Superclock[/h]I read an article Jacked-Up: EVGA GeForce GTX 780 SC with ACX Cooling - HotHardware that really rated the ACX cooler, meaning more headroom for overclocking or higher clocks if you don't disable gpu boost 2.0.

svl7 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Titan is the best performing card you can buy for money. However if I were you I'd go for the 780 classified, much fun for overclocking and benching. In case you want the best stock performance then you won't get around the Titan, but the price difference is ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your comments about the Classifieds' fun for overclocking and benching tips it for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukas026 Posted August 6, 2013 Author Share Posted August 6, 2013 well i am too mostly interested in classified, but to be honest availability in europe isnt great so far. I hope a bunch will get to our country soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator BAKED Posted August 7, 2013 Moderator Share Posted August 7, 2013 I also think you should go with the 780, sure the Titan is a beast if not the beast but in bucks for performance the 780 is the winner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder Brian Posted August 7, 2013 Founder Share Posted August 7, 2013 I'd go for the 780 classifieds for the same reasons svl7 mentioned. Of course if you want some mint titans I might sell mine soon.Sent from my GT-I9100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack13 Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 I suggest the GTX780 too. It has a good performance/price ratio!All reference models are identical, get an EVGA classified to reach big MHz... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maneil99 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 780 Classy with a modded bios will be the best bang for your buck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zarach Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 I would go with the GTX 780 Classified Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SecurityBunny Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Just picked up a 780 classified myself. That's my recommendation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Puschkin Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I'd either wait out for Sammy memory modules, or go for different vendor. Maybe wait for that Lightning? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gh0stp1rate Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 I was personally gonna wait and get the MSI N780GTX Lightning, but ended up getting the 780 Classified's and I don't regret it at all. I say this from a guy who always purchased an MSI Lightning every since their very first N275GTX Lightning. I've never had so much fun overclocking and benching a video card until I got the Classified's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T3hFirefly Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 I think I saw the GTX 770 going for around $400. You could get two of them and run them in SLI. and get more bang for you buck. I remeber when the 670 and 680 were out people would get the 670 and overclock it to the same speeds as the 680. Unlike the 600 series though 770 and 780 aren't based off of the same GPU Model. But I don't see why that would make much of a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHEATSrichter Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 wait till the gtx 780 lightning comes out, i will sell my gtx 780 classified to get one lightning, because the aircooler is much better from msi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamer3381 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I am in the same boat. Would the 780 Hydro be ALOT better the then the classified acx? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koniakki Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 I don't remember to have seen anything on the HC 780 but as I saw elsewhere Classy 780 member are way more than happy with them and their OC are simply.. well stunning.OP I came from a 1176/7Ghz+ 690 to a 1254/7Ghz 780. So you might wanna read the post I made in another thread below.http://forum.techinferno.com/nvidia-video-cards/4760-upgrade-no.htmlAnything minus 780/titan SLI and Classy/Lightning 780 is a downgrade gaming wise from a 690. But I can't really recommend the 690 anymore. I would take a Classy 780 anyday over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legalis Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 My vote goes with the GTX 780. Just got one and its got great OC and performance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trickster29 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 The 780 is a beautiful card but if u have 1000$ go with the TITAN or the GTX 690 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raistlan333 Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 I just baught am evga gtx 780 classified and threw some watercooling on it... add a modded bios and you can click that badboy up to 1400mhz making it by far the most powerfull card on the market blowing away the titanand the 780 Ti is coming soon if you want even more power as that is supposed to beat the titan at stock settings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubblehead Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Other options would be EVGA GTX 780 Ti SC ACX or 780 Ti Classified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
