Hey guys!  I was going to buy my build parts today, but the GTX 780 ACX SuperClocked is out of stock now %5Burl=, would it differ if I buy the normal or the superclocked from EVGA OR the one from GIGABYTE? I'm using a water cooler btw so what is the best one for me?

 

EDIT: or get 2 GTX 770 ? and if yes, which brand?

In my opinion I would just get a normal one, I don't believe they are any better than the standard version they just use a slightly different BIOS to put on a small OC. I have an EVGA superclocked (670) card and it doesn't overclock very well at all.

 

Save a few bucks and get a normal one.

Get the single 780 and add another if you need one. If the superclocked is ~$10 more, go for it. Otherwise, stick with the normal one.

Get the vanilla.  The Superclocks are not binned in any way and you have just as good a chance at getting a good clocker with a vanilla card as with a Superclock.

@d33g33 @WoodenMarker @MegaTechPC, okay now what to get? 1 780 or 2 770?

 

Hard to answer because they don't come in at the same price point.

 

If it was my money and i very well may be going down this street shortly, I would rather buy a 780 and add another later than get 2x 770's now.
