EVGA GeForce GTX 780 Classified reaches 1410 MHz on air

[tabuburn]

Renowned overclocker, K|ngP|n has been playing with EVGA's upcoming GTX 780 Classified and was able to achieve 1410MHz on air using EVGA's new ACX cooler.

 

He was able to achieve this much overclock by using an overvolting, possibly EVGA's EVBot, tool which allowed him to manually push the voltage past the 1.2v limit set by NVIDIA all the way to 1.35v.

 

These results should be taken with a grain of salt and your mileage may vary because of the silicone lottery. Also, remember that K|ngP|n is an overclocker directly sponsored by EVGA and is part of EVGA's overclocking team. But considering the Classified series is the top of the line for EVGA, the GTX 780 GPU's used on them will definitely be cherry picked just for that line so even if not all will be able to achieve this much on this, even getting half or two-thirds of this would still be nice.

 

According Chiploco's sources, EVGA will be sending out samples for review and have a retail launch sometime next week. Expect this to be costing a premium just like previous Classified cards but if you consider how much overclocking potential these cards have, these will definitely be GTX Titan killers.

94 degree temperature target on the GPU, and a 5GHz overclock on a 3970X? Freaking amazing, even if this is on a cherry-picked 780.

I think half is hoping too high.

 

I'd say MAYBE 1/15 of gtx 780's reach that high.

I'm going to try to overclock my Asus gtx780 DCUII as high as I can, but I don't think I can get it that high.

Maybe but looking at the past performance of the GTX 680 Classified showed that a lot of those had better binned GPU's than what others had so I would expect this one to have as well.

Are the EVGA classified cards cherry picked?

EVGA Classified GPU series have a different power plan. They have 14 Power Phases compared to 8 for the FTW, and 6 for all others. Which will give a better OC capability and stability (that's the Big Line I won't enter in all details). Which means you can get higher frequency most of the time.

 

Pretty much any Classified (600/700 series) can go at this frequency (if you play with the voltage a bit) (and higher if WC or Ln2)

 

Edit : @OP, the EVBot doesn't have a software. It's just something external, you just have to update the firmware to X or Z GTX series from EVGA.

Sort of. Just like what ASUS did on the HD 7970 Matrix. They bin a whole bunch of GPU's and use only those that are better than the average ones.
