Best Model 780

[Khanzi]

Right now on amazon and newegg the cheapest 780 is the Galaxy HOF Edition. It's also the fastest clocked and best looking card. Which model 780 is the best? Price/Performance 

[FunkStar]

I like the "Gainward Phantom GTX 780 GLH" model where GLH stands for "Goes Like Hell"

Galaxy HOF is great, also EVGA ACX, MSI TF IV Gaming, Gigabyte Windforce 3X, Asus DCu II and Inno3D iChill. But the best are EVGA Classified, HydroCopper Classified, MSI Lightning and Inno3D iChill Accelero Hybrid.

MSI Lightning

 

 

 

you can use LN2 with it

My friend seems to like his DirectCU II 780. He has that thing overclocked like crazy.

The Gigabyte Windforce 780 is also pretty good - not sure how it is where you live, but it's one of the cheapest 780s in the UK

Edit: Also, be sure to check out EVGA's ACX 780s. They're nice as well.

I'd get the Galaxy GeForce GTX 780 HOF which is very inexpensive, comes with the highest clocks out of the box, and a very efficient cooler. I'm tempted to get myself one as I post about it.

EVGA Classified

[Akula]

Evga Classified is the best card for the 780 series, normally its a battle between the Classified and Lightning.

Cant go wrong with either.

I believe the Lightning is cheaper currently.

[CthulDude]

If you ever plan on putting a water block on it go with EVGA or ASUS.

You should look at 3 years warranty AT LEAST. Evga, Gigabyte, Asus, MSI.

[Stonep11]

They are all very similar in performance, go for one that you like the looks of best.

Palit or Zotac, they beat everything, then msi lightning

Got any numbers for that? I assume you mean the Palit Jetstream. The Jetstream is the second cheapest aftermarket 780 in Norway, (only the MSi Gaming is cheaper) so if you have a link to a few benchmarks that would interest me greatly. The Super Jetstream is not very cheap however, but seem to have an identical cooler but a higher clock out of the box.

MSI Gaming in my opinion. not much more expensive than a stock one but with the twin fan design temps allow it to overclock really well.

http://i.imgur.com/vYaudPv.jpg?2 That just happened to me last week. The HOF may seem attractive, but i have been to hell and back with this thing. The rma replacement that im getting back will make it my THIRD HOF. The first had awful coil whine/600 mhz throttling, the second had the throttling again as well, an unevenly lit led logo, and it just died on me. I really want to give galaxy another chance but it just seems to me that the card was rushed and should have gone through more testing before it came to market. I HIGHLY recommend the ASUS DC2 (520$) and MSI Lightning (550$) in terms of fully non reference solidly built cards, the classy is what i would have chosen first but it jumped back to 700$ for some reason.

Yeah its the palit super jetstream its as fast or slightly faster than the msi lightning, its got a lot of overclocking headroom as it has samsung memory which oc's better than other types, in uk this card is fairly cheap

[ivhyn]

I can't really say how good the Gainward GTX 780 Phantom is but it seems fairly quiet. It's running warm however (80°C)
