is this better than a EVGA GeForce GTX 780 Classified?

If you look at bench marks, the 290x outperforms the regular GTX 780 every time. The GTX 780Ti is the best card performance wise on the market right now, but that being said the 290x is not that far behind at all. I believe the 290x even beats out the 780Ti on some games. The reason I went with the 290x is because I didn't feel like the 780Ti's slight performance edge was worth the $200+ it costs over the 290x. Bottom line is the 290x is the best card on the market if you are weighing price vs. performance. I hope this helps your decision.

That depends. This has some better specs but GeForce has better drivers. I personally went with the 290x

Better then a 780, worse then a 780 ti so i would have to say its the same as the classified, just go with what is better price.

Im sure the 290x is better than the 780, it has more horsepower too. the 780ti might be slightly better, but for way more money for a few fps that wont mater. So yeah between those two, id say the SAPHIRE r9 290x is better, the reference card sucks lol.

Save your money from buying a EVGA and buy the PNY GTX 780. Performance wise, the 7990 is better with a dual gpu in one card but the card runs hot and has a shuttering issue. The GTX will run cooler and more handle today's games.

I think GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 650 Ti OC 1GB GDDR5 more Powerfull than EVGA GeForce GTX 650 ti 1024MB GDDR5 DVI mHDMI Graphics Card 01G-P4-2650-KRGIGABYTE GeForce GTX 650 Ti OC 1GB GDDR5 has Triangle Cool Fan . Because of that we can overclock than stock clock speed. Also it has Ultra Durable components

What resolution are you gaming at? Your 690 is more powerful than a single 780, so unless you're gaming beyond 1080p, your 690 is probably better for you. Also, the GTX900 series just came out. If you want to upgrade, I'd suggest either a pair of GTX970's or a single 980. They all have 4GB of GDDR5 and I believe a 980 should be on par with your 690, but use way less power and be better for higher resolutions.

According to Anandtech the Gtx 780 is 80 to 92% of the gaming power of the Titan. The Titan is unrivaled in terms of compute though for its price.

In this case I'd say 780 To is the fastest overall. The r9 290x is second and 780 lightning comes last. However just keep in mind that all 3 are more than capable of handling anything being thrown at them at 1080p. Also the r9 290x will handle higher resolutions better overall dye to its higher vram

It looks like NVIDIA recommends a minimum of 850W for the GTX 780 SLI operation. Keep in mind that this Rosewill power supply is a Bronze PS which is middle of the road. The video cards are asking for more than 50% (540W) of the PS capacity. You may want to move up to a Gold rated PS or 1200W. Will it handle it? Probably, but for how long?

Not only is it a higher wattage (1000w vs 750w) which will give you more power for high-end graphics cards (like the 770gtx), but it is Bronze rated, meaning it is very efficient (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/80_Plus). So yes, it is a much better power supply.

Hey friend. I have been running this card on ultra with a variety of games ranging from Arma 3, BF3, to the very inensive Star Citizen and I really enjoy the card. I have little to no problems with frame rate or stuttering and would recommend it. However, the 970 gtx is two generations newer and takes a slight edge in performance. The 970 is a better card, but I believe the 780 should suit you just fine for your needs now. Looking forward, the 970 will be better long term and if you can afford it now, I'd recommend it for the sake of a longer useful life.

You will be happier if you run the 500w psu. Always have a bigger power supply than you need. Often it is necessary to need that extra power with graphic intensive games. The card will run better for you.

Depends.. Prolly the 780 for the price. But titan is still the king for the premium of single gpu power. I have two titans in my machine. My buddy has two 780's..we don't notice any difference to the naked eye in game speed.

I will go for this one!! I really love it!! If you get the 780 you can get 10-12 more fps, is really up to you. You can take advantage that 780 are at low price.

PCIe 2.0 implies you're still on an older generation of CPU... so I guess the 780 as I think while you might even be bottlenecking that, I'm sure you'd probably be bottlenecking the 7990. If you can reply with more details about your setup (including rez of monitor) and what you want from the card (gaming, design, etc.) that would definitely make it easier to answer though. It's possible the 7990 would be better for your needs, but not knowing what they are makes it tougher to advise.

If you go to this link. http://www.evga.com/Products/ProductList.aspx?type=0&family=GeForce+700+Series+Family&chipset=GTX+770 it lists all the 770's in order of speed & memory, starting with their water cooled Classified Hydro Copper. Then the regular Classified. Then FTW. The EVGA GTX Dual SC is the best of the 2 GB Cards, but is slower than the FTW out of the box.

I'd go with the MSI. EVGA is typically expensive for what you get and they are constantly releasing (and subsequently discontinuing) cards with slight variations. It's more marketing that substance. This MSI runs under a load 24/7 (BOINC apps) and has never even reached 50% fan speed with Afterburner.

Yes, but both card must be same memory and a GTX 780. Can be different makers but it 's better to use same graphic cards.

This is a professional class graphics card not meant for gaming. Nvidias GeForce cards are gaming cards. Also windows experience scores are crap and a useless measure of anything. You are looking for cuda cores in graphics cards so you can look at nvidias product specs for those. Obviously the more expensive the more cores you get
