Help me with this decision please!

Should I get an EVGA GeForce GTX 780 Ti Dual Classified w/ EVGA ACX Cooler, or a reference asus 780ti with a kraken g10 and an h90, I can get either one for 600, which should i choose?

But if you already have a DCUII card... why not get another?

EVGA card then, cooling everything on the card is better than just the core.

I would get the G10 and some vrm heatsinks.

Forgot to mention, the evga one is used and the asus one + the g10 and h90 are brand new

If being used bothers you, get the ASUS card.

It doesn't, im just guessing all of that brand new is worth more than the classified.

Meh I don't like waiting for listings, and these are pretty great deals imo

I just feel that its a waste to get something that might now support sli with it

Pretty sure it will 

[thekeemo]

Pretty sure it will 

who knows I think they have to have the same amount of memory and clock speed

[scruffy0402]

who knows I think they have to have the same amount of memory and clock speed

they will automatically become the same clock speed

[thekeemo]

they will automatically become the same clock speed

good to know

So, which one do you think is a better deal, like all brand new stuff or a very lightly used evga one?

All brand new I guess.

[scruffy0402]

All brand new I guess.

But I'm guessing the evga will get better performance, do you have any idea of what the temps will be like? (with the h90) I also can't tell if the g10 will fit on the classified, some say yes and some say no

The G10 was made to fit the holes for the GPU core which is the same across the cards from Nvidia. So it should fit. Temps with an H90 will of course be better than an air cooler. An EVGA cooler will still get great temps for the card. Don't forget that the G10 only cools the core, not the VRM or memory. I would go with the EVGA card only if you don't mind that it has been used before.

Okay, I will probably take the evga card, thanks for the help again.

No problem.

[LmeAde2]
