What is the best 780 ti?

I'm looking at the Asus GeForce GTX 780 Ti 3GB Video Card or the EVGA GeForce GTX 780 Ti Superclocked w/ACX Cooler.

 

If anyone has any other suggestions for versions of this card, I'm listening.

 

Price difference is about 20 dollars, so not important. Just purely performance/temperature/over clock potential, which one wins?

EVGA purely based on the ASUS one being a reference cooler.

Any other alternatives?

What is the best 780 ti?

Which 780 Ti is better?

 

The ACX cooler is clearly better, than the reference 780/Titan cooler for most cases.

depends if you're going to sli or not. If SLI'ing, reference cooler (that gray cooler such as the asus one you posted) is better. Otherwise, a non-reference cooler such as the directCUII, msi twinfrozer, evga acx etc.. is better.

If you're wanting the best of the best then you can't look past the EVGA K|NGP|N edition 780Ti. It is overbuilt like crazy and supported by evga's amazing customer support and warranty policy. My choice hands down.

 

If this option is out of budget then my next option would be the 780ti classified. You can't look past how important return policies are, just in case.

Go with the Asus DCII GTX 780 Ti which is FULLY non reference (high end components/ superior power design) , i just picked it up this weekend and it is aaahmazing. 1200mhz core/3700mhz memory never tops 72c under load, and it comes with a backplate!

Its on sale right now on newegg for 690$. 10$ cheaper than reference and 40$ cheaper than EVGA which is STILL reference design with non reference cooling, so this is pretty much a no brainer! :D  - http://www.newegg.com/Shopping/ShoppingItem.aspx?ItemList=N82E16814121838

 

Here's also a quick album i made - http://imgur.com/a/qvbhR

Remember that ASUS cards sag a lot and the heatpipe can be a clearance issue, and they don't exactly have a good reputation for dealing with customers. If this is okay with you then get the asus version, or pay a little more for a more solid card and peace of mind.

That was in the past, with their latest cooler revision they took some extra initiative to make the card slim, rigid, and built like a tank with full metal design & no clearance issues :)

Hehe trust me i'm not bias because of the asus card, i owned the EVGA 780 acx for almost half a year till i switched over to the Ti. Even with a backplate the evga card sagged instantly after first installing it. However I'll definetly admit nobody even comes CLOSE to evga customer support.

I went for 2 MSI GTX 780 TI Gaming. They are by far the most silent 780 Ti out there. On top of that they OC like beast. I'm currently only in the beginning of setting up overclocks, since I just got them, but so far I'm very, very impressed by how much headroom these cards have, considering they're rocking stock PCBs and components, compared to the fully custom cards which I'm already level with in terms of OCs.
