GTX 780 Ti reviews

[KentState]

The Classified is cheaper on Amazon. For whatever reason, Amazon almost always beats Newegg prices on EVGA cards.

Ok, I'm ready to sell my two AMD cards for one.

FYI, I updated my earlier post. I ran some more tests, and it appears Shadowplay causes a ~40% performance hit in SLI.

Sorry, I hope no one decided to upgrade based on my info.

These numbers are really interesting for a lot of reasons. Not surprising that 680SLI outperforms a 780 Ti, but it's quite close, which is amazing. Did you get minimums, by any chance? I'd suspect the 780Ti should beat 680SLI in that regard.

Also, as I've though all along, Siege of Shanghai is far and away the lowest-performing map in the game. I assume EA made that the beta level as it's a worst-case scenario. The funny thing is that it's not a particularly fun map, IMO, but it certainly taxes a system.

He's only playing at 1080p. You can only efficiently use so many shaders at that low of a resolution.

Interesting testing, thanks for the graphs!

I got fps, min/max/avg, frame times, BF video with ingame performance overlays, you name it.

I have a U2711, but I dont like gaming on it. I kinda dont feel like putting the 680s back in, but if people ask for it on the YT video I guess I can spend a little time rerunning the tests at 1440p. The most time consuming part was learning how to use Numbers to create the graphs.

If you have the chance, maybe post min and avg for a few maps with 680SLI and 780Ti. Simple enough that you don't need the graphs, if you haven't created them yet.

Well, since its all in a spreadsheet and I spent hours learning how to make the charts...

Wow, that 780 Ti is an absolute beast. Do you have any testing done with 1440/1600?

So do the gigabyte cards only get the cooler and 2 8 pin connectors?

I am deciding between the ghz edition or the asus dc2.

I would like the ghz edition, but i cannot find anything on it besides info on the cooler. While the asus card talks about its custom pcb and they also talk about their super alloy components. And i know MSI talks about their "military" class components.

But Gigabyte just talks about the cooler!

Anyone want to help a brother out?

780 GHz is a non reference 8+2 phase design, I'd imagine the 780 Ti GHz is also non reference but be careful not to get the reg non GHz which is reference with the WF3 cooler.

You think Gigabyte over Asus is a better buy (performance and product quality)?

They only green cards i owned, were EVGA.

 

[BallaTheFeared]

I think the WF3 is a better cooler.

If you look at the hwcan review of the 780 Ti GHz and the R290x DCII..

WF3 has similar (Probably lower in actuality since it's noticeably faster than the R290x, meaning more cpu/sys load) power consumption and the cooler is clearly superior to the Asus.

Cooler and Quieter are the same time.

I really like my WF3 cooler, does a good job at decent dB, far better than my TF3 was in any case.

I'd probably do a bit more research on the GHz to make sure it isn't reference.

Out of the box GHz will be faster than DC2. Whatever happens after that is going to be purely silicon.

780 Ti Classified is $760 on EVGA.com, if I were you and was considering heavy OC I'd give it a few glances due to binning.

Thanks.

Awesome info by the way. The reason for the Ghz is that i dont really bother with OC, i will play with it and see what the card does, but i will usually return it to stock just for longevity and stability purpose.

I found a review by ocaholic that talks about the ghz pcb and is not ref.

So it looks like is good to go. I do like the wf3 look better.

Also the backplate will get you laid :thumbsup:

That's what BF4 is for

Can't handle two at once then I take it?

Freaking newegg, wont give the bundles with the ghz edition.

Every other ti has the games bundle but not the ghz D:.

Chat lady was like, sorry it does not apply to that item.

It goes in and out, wait for it...

 

[Hauk]

Good choice on the GHz version. It's not an over-the-top departure from reference PCB (not a bad thing); but the cooler/backplate/factory OC make it a very appealing choice. I was deciding on it or a 780ti Classified, the Classy won out and is sitting at my feet unopened

I scrolled down and started reading these posts, had to check to make sure I was in the right forum...

Thanks. I really liked the look of the card, and having high clocks out of the box. If a good gsync monitor comes out with 4k i might have to spring for another to feed the rez. Hopefully they come down in price with maxwell.

Yeaaaaah, not touching that one.

Anyone running a Ti and BF getting any weird texture like pops at random on the screen?

Also crashing? I had it happen with BF4 and Ghost.

 

[BallaTheFeared]

Looks like a unstable OC, are you at stock?

Had the same thing last night wiht my GTX460. Try reinstalling your drivers?

Yup.

Just did, i also ran driver cleaner. I rolled back to the previous wqhl version and will give that a try.


Thanks for feedback.

 

[RaulF]

Well i installed 331.82 after an un-install and ran driver cleaner. It seems to be doing ok. No artifacts/pop and not crashing.
