EVGA GTX 780

[KellerKind]

So i bought the EVGA GTX 780 with the ACX cooler and i want to know the difference between this card and the EVGA GTX 780 SC edition , both of them handle the same overclocl right?

no, not in all cases. you dont have a guarantee how high gpus overclock, it is luck. with the sc you definitely get at least the overclock that it has it could be that the normal 780 cant handle even 1 mhz but it is not very likely.

The SC comes factory overclocked, where as the standard one comes with stock clocks. There is no guarentee that either will overclock much (or at all), but the SC version is binned for higher clock speed out of the factory.

both of them can handle the same core clock OC to a point. whether or not you have a golden chip in your gpu is all luck.

Not really, the SC is not binned one bit. All non SC cards have reached the SC clocks, and even higher pretty much every time. Heck you can just flash on the SC bios and make your non SC card an SC one

That may be the case, I'm just making the point that by default the SC will have higher clock speeds. If you are planning to OC the card yourself then the difference may not be very much

Okay then , because i bought  my card for 440euros and the superclocked one cost's 490euros so i thought that it was TOO MUCH for that small difference

[VSG]

Wow you definitely made the right decision there!

[KellerKind]

so how can i have the bios of the SC one so i can put it right on my 780 ?  0:)

[VSG]

Go to the 780 owner's club on OCN and find the appropriate BIOS there.
