GTX780! But which?

[lachyman]

All non-reference EVGA/Gigabyte/MSI cards are great and pretty much equal, get the one that looks best in your system. Don't pay additional money for an EVGA card just because you get their SW on a CD in the package, you can download it free from their website and it works with every model.

Software? O_o

Here if you buy an EVGA card you'll get some of their utilities which you can download from their website, like the Precision X and if you buy the reference card (not sure about this) the LED controller.

Yes, thats right but the classified for example has an advanced power design for better oc, not only downloadable software.

[Yenko]

If your are going to OC the Classified still have the EVBot port so you can adjust the voltage more than with precision

[lachyman]

That may be true, yes, but it is surely much more expensive than for example the MSI Gaming model. I can't say, because the classified models don't even ship to my godforsaken country. But with these 700 series cards, which overclock themselves due to tempature, you will go just fine with normal power design because 80°C is the maximum i would go for, otherwise the card might break. I am personally getting a GTX780 myself and i won't go higher than 75°C.

Direct CU II, has the highest overclocking potential out of all the current cards, but I would wait to see dat lightning doe

Well, in my case the Classified is only 40€ more expensive so its not that much. But i heard that it runs really cool under load, around high 60° to low 70° which gives me a massive oc potential.

DC2 istn available in germany and i wont get the lightning due to its , well, lightning. I have red light all over my case and blue doesnt match that well ^^

[Tredien]

DC2 can't physically be better than the classified for overclocking, the classified has better power deliver and there's already a few ppl getting 1300+Mhz with 1.26-1.3V on them.
The lightning is promissing though but it'll be launched in august and bugger knows when it'll be available. 

That's why I'm  considering the classified.

Painting LEDs doesnt seem right! :P

But im not good at custom painting and stuff like that anyway.

the lightning card will have yellow accents on the shroud, not the LED's (that I know off)

and just use high grade masking tape and you should be fine

yeah, but the leds are the annoying part lol.

what LED's? could you show me?

[FloRolf]

Certainly not since its not released yet. But all lightning cards have leds on them, dont they?

no.

Just ugly bumblebee theme lately.

[blindsighted26]

hi some one has probably answered this but are the chip cherry pick for the EVGA classified and MSI lightning cards or is it a beefed up power delivery n a silicon lotto for the chips

[IPCharger]

I would wait for the 780 Lightning.

[FloRolf]

no.

but the gtx680 lightning had lights too! o.O
