780 ti, which card?

[testedhorse368]

I am going to be purchasing a 780 ti, seeing that the prices of the aftermarket cards is ridiculous. I will be using the NZXT Kraken g10 mounting bracket, and I was wondering whether buying an aftermarket card, such as the MSI gaming edition (with twin frozr) will be worth it. 

Thanks

Save money and get reference design, the cooling will be adequate with the Kraken anyways, so there's no point in spending 20-30 dollars more getting a nice aftermarket cooler

if your going to use the g10 just get referance

780 ti gaming is just a slightly overclocked reference card, get the cheapest one or wait for custom PCB ones.

You're both wrong. If they get a G10 they should also be getting the MSI lightning because that card is built for overclocking and the water cooler will allow for an insane clockspeed under great temps.

Is the MSI PCB supported? and if your going to get MSI then don't get g10...

The only reason to get a non-reference when you are water cooling is so you have a more highly-binned card.

Save the money go referance and not sure that the G10 works with a none reference card

and get some Noctua NF-F12's

Go with the cheapest reference design GTX 780Ti you can find.

If your going to slap a G10 on the 780 TI then i would recommend a reference sins the G10 will most likely do better in cooling then a reference or aftermarket cooler. Also reference should be 100% compatible with the G10.
