I bought the reference 780 ti, I had a shrouded blower gtx 680 card and I did not mind the noise. I still don't find the noise that bad with the 780 ti. I also don't overclock so there wasn't a need for more cooling power anyway.

Is it just me or is Grammar slowly becoming extinct on LTT?

lolwut? duds are duds. Are you saying nvidia cards dont OC? Gotta love fanboys.

He is referring to the 106% power limit nvidia imposes on us.Keep in mind I personally prefer nvidia cards but they are voltage limited which limits overclocking.

Ah that makes more sense, but I thought greenlight was purely enforced on the manufacturer? I thought WE could push them pas 106%. Am I mistaken?

You are mistaken. The cards are locked to a max of 106% voltage. So we can only go as far as that chip lets us on that limited voltage increase. 

 

*edit* I should mention that with custom software and a modded bios you can bypass that limit and push it further. If you put it under water or ln2 you can get great oc's with the hacks I mentioned earlier.

Ah fair enough, I generally dont push mine past 103% so I wasnt aware. That is kind of garbage. I see why though. They are trying to minimize the cards that die and have to be returned. Doesnt mean I like it.

That is what they are trying to do. I don't like it either but amd cards run hotter and louder. Look at my previous post for an edit I added that can let you oc more. I have a link to a way to do this if it helps. http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/111374-evga-gtx-780-ti-classified-kngpn-edition/

lolwut? Are you saying nvidia cards dont OC? duds are duds. They happen on both sides. Gotta love fanboys.

Actually no Im saying that every AMD card ive seen has OCed in an actual meaningful way Ive owned two AMD cards a 6000 series and now a R9 270 and both OCed to a good degree. My 270 is overclocked past all stock 270X cards, its actually maxed out I cant even push it further software wont let me so keep your ego in check fanboy

 

Icing on the cake? The 6000 seires was a fanless 6450.

Yeah... I'm... Not a fanboy. I already understood what you meant thanks to @Flyguygamer 

 

When I initially read it, it just looked like you were hating, since your comment has zero reasoning behind it. Now I get it, my mistake. Sorry.

not a fan of that cooler at all, I think there are way nicer ones out there.  Yeah, it may keep it cool, but come on, at least make it look a bit nice

Beneath this mask there is more than flesh. Beneath this mask there is an idea, Mr. Creedy, and ideas are bulletproof.

As I get older I get angrier more cynical, meaner. I feel some warning posts coming. I feel a ban coming. I was warned.

Np man just when people attack me using the fanboy thing it's basically saying that I have no reasoning and decredits anything I could say so it kinda gets me a bit pissed.

I only said it because I've always seen AMD shine through with OCing.

Linus,

I have very good reason to believe that this card is either a totally different model or really messed up. Heres why,

I had just brought a 780 ti just like that. EXACT SAME MODEL AND EVERYTHING but yet i have two 8 pin connectors on the card not a 6 pin and a 8 pin. This youtuber has two 8 pins on his like me.

but actually now im not sure as it seems tech of tommorow's review shows a 6 and 8 pin connector. So my question now is, why?

 

Anyways heres a pic of my card

Just to show you its a 780 ti oc

Anyways, think about it.

@JoeyDM @Flyguygamer It's actually quite easy to flash them to different bios, took me about an hour or so to flash both my 780's to hydrocopper bios, with 1.3v and 130% tdp slider.   But unless you're prepared to sit there and read every step I wouldn't do it, it'd be quite easy to mis-type one thing or miss one step and brick your nice toy.

When will the prices of these high end video cards drop significantly? I have been wanting to upgrade my GTX 460 for some time now. However, I simply cannot justify spending $500+, let alone the $700+ this is retailing for. It's ridiculous.

When I saw this videos thumbnail, that this card is bad, I got worried, because I fell in love with this card, since it looks gorgeous, and wery quiet. And as I was watching the video, I was like: I dont give a *** about those 5fps, If it stays incredibly cool AND being quiet in the same time.
