Super Clocked?

[Alamazing 1735]

EVGA has their line of "super clocked" cards is that just a fancy name for out of factory over clock? Should I save a few bucks and buy a normal card or get thier super clocked card?

 

[Izaya Orihara]

A higher factory overclock. What kind of a price difference are we talking about?

It's usually a factory overclocked card.

I believe the Superclocked cards also have a custom-designed board that's made to -theoretically- allow for higher overclocking than you could get with the standard board.. Most manufacturers do this with their special-edition cards (IE, MSI Twin Frozr, Asus DC2, Gigabyte Windforce(?), etc).

 

Other than that, it is pretty much just a factory-OC'd card with a fancy name.

Not all superclocked cards have custom PCB's.

They're not binned whatsoever, @VSG goes over this on like a daily basis yet apparently nobody sees

It's late. At this point my brain is underclocked to 800 mhz.

Well more and more people like you are seeing and getting rid of misconceptions so it's all worth it. As is said, SC is just a factory overclock on a reference PCB. You can get both the reference blower or the ACX cooler versions. It is only for people who don't want to overclock at all.

Superclocked-not binned

Kingpin is the only binned card from evga

[TheNinjaNextDor]

SC: Not binned Classy: Binned Kingpin: Binned

[Ryan Leech]

Kingpin is the only binned card from evga

So is the classified

[topsu]

So is the classified

 

Any proof about that?

[Pomfinator]

More often then not Superclocked is well worth the extra $10, it's a guaranteed overclock that you won't have to deal with software or stability.

[VSG]

Any proof about that?

With so many people telling you that the Classified is binned, the onus is on you to prove it isn't. Not the other way around.

Theres also a lot people in the internet who say that Kingpin is the only one that is binned

[VSG]

Who are these lots of people? Jacob (project Manager, EVGA), Chris (Lead Tech Rep, EVGA), Gibbo (Store manager, OcUK) and hundreds of owners on OCN (including me, who has first hand experience with the 780 and 780 Ti Classified before settling on the 780 Ti Classified Kingpin editions) would like to say otherwise. Don't believe things on the internet unless they come from reputed sources.
