Best binned ref 780ti

[Evostatic343]

so im looking to sli my current evga superclocked 780ti with a reference pcb.

i aam looking for a really good binned 780ti with a reference pcb. this is crucial that i am able to put the same waterblock on them.

I'm pretty sure none of the 780 ti 's are binned but the EVGA kingpin.

Reference cards are basically all binned the same, AFAIK.

For reference cards it's really just luck.

[skullbringer]

reference cards basically means, that they are not binned outside of their 780ti minimum spec by Nvidia.

[Evostatic343]

well ill just get an identical card then

[jscho]

The reference cards only have to meet Nvidia's minimum requirements. You could get a ref 780ti that's super godly and OCs like a fucking beast. Silicon Lottery.

A lot of 780 Ti cards are binned, most of them are not a reference card though- especially the Kingpin.

 

OP: Get a regular reference card with the reference cooler to be sure of a reference PCB. You should know there is only the silicon lottery to blame if the card you get is not as good as the one you have!

Best chance is to get a lightning card. They're meant to run at very high clock speeds, out of the box. So chances are, they might even have more headroom for more overclocking.

This....like most things with overclocking. If you want guarantees you're gonna have to pay for them.

I just said a post above that a lot of non-reference cards are binned, albeit to different extents  :rolleyes:

 

For example: Gainward Phantom, Asus Matrix (not yet available for sale), EVGA Classified, EVGA Classified Kingpin edition, Galaxy HOF, Gigabyte GHz

 

The MSI Lightning 780 Ti is not available for retail sale so no point recommending it.

Well if you mean they're binned to check if they run stable at the specified clock speed, then sure.

Theres no 780 ti lightning?

I meant binned to be some of the better performers. There are 780Ti Lightning cards out there but only given to some of the best product overclocker.
