"...Much of the GTX 780 Classifieds overclocking headroom is accessible to everyday gamers because of EVGAs excellent ACX cooling solution. It is both quiet and offers bucketloads of performance, keeping the core within acceptable temperature limits all the way past the 1.3GHz mark. Above that, you may want to look at EVGAs Classified Hydro Copper water block.
Historically, EVGA has priced their Classified cards at levels that were out of reach to pretty much everyone but this iteration is blazing a new trail here as well. At $700, it still costs $50 more than the reference version and $20 more than alternatives from ASUS and Gigabyte but for a few bucks more you get what we believe is the best GTX 780 currently available.
The EVGA Classified may be one of the most expensive GTX 780 cards around but it is the first to truly push the outer limits of NVIDIAs Kepler architecture. Not only does this make it a highly valuable commodity for overclockers and gamers alike but it points to a new direction for custom graphics card development. If you have $700 set aside for a GPU upgrade, this is the card youll want. Period."
