just wondering which is the fastest card gtx680 classified or gtx780 SC? what is your opinion

Unfortunately I don't have any experience with the GTX 780SC, so I can't give an informed opinion on the matter. They are both high-end cards, so if money is a factor I would go with the less expensive card. My GTX 680 Classified is still an awesome card and I have two friends that run them as well. There is nothing that this card won't run at the highest settings.

The 680GTX Classified has more memory (4GB) compared to 780GTX (3GB) and more memory has always improved gameplay but the latter has more CUDA cores and faster memory.

The GTX 680 has 1GB more of RAM, but 3GB is still good. You can run mostly the same games at the same FPS, but crysis 3 you might have to run at a lower speed with the GTX 780 then the 680.

The gtx780 will be faster but has less memory. The memory will only be a factor if you are running 3 or more monitors. Both cards will handle any game on the market like a champ.

Hi, Ryan. I can't speak to your specific hardware configuration, but I can give you mine for a somewhat-apples-to-somewhat-apples comparison.I am running this same GTX 650 Ti 2GB in a machine with: i7 950 overclocked to 3.07GHz, 16GB RAM, 1x 64GB SSD, 2x 1TB 7200RPM HDD, 1x 750GB 7200RPM HDD. This machine has a 600W OCZ PSU, and I've had no issues with lack of power. YMMV, of course.This is a great little consumer-level card, probably the best I've owned so far. It has taken everything I've thrown at it (all games on "high" settings) with ease.

That is definitely useless. Because this card performe very well for a single monitor. I felt no need an updation for several years by playing latest ganes like BF4, Ghosts ect.you will not get an huge difference from performance by 780 sc than 770 sc by looking at there prices

Yes, the EVGA GTX 780 SC w/ ACX use Samsung K4G20325FD-FC03 GDDR5 RAM chips running at 6Ghz just like the flagship card GTX Titan only at 3GB where the Titan has 6GB. The memory bandwidth is quick, and anyone who says it's slow is having bottleneck issues else where, like maybe their CPU.

For one, the cooler is different. The physical size of the card is significantly larger than the FTW. That is to account for the larger cooler in the Classified card. Therefore, this card can be overclocked more than the FTW card.

I had two of these, sold them for a pair of EVGA GTX 780 ACX cards, there is no comparison. For the little extra, I would go 780. You won't regret it.

They are not the same card. This is the fully factory over clocked running at a clock of 1080Mhz and men at 5600Mhz. The other card has slower clocks. The clocks are higher because the chokes are better, and the chips were binned higher on this card. Check the serials if you want to confirm this. The OC potential is thus higher on this card.

The other difference would be that it comes with a factory overclock. I can't remember exactly what the difference is, but this model, because of the stock overclock and the ability to overclock due to the upgraded cooler, performs closer to the GTX Titan than it does to the stock 780. I have mine clocked at 1200 MHz, which is something like 350 MHz faster than the stock 780. IMO, it's worth the price difference. Plus, I've had EVGA cards in the past, and they have all performed really well.

I dont know much about the EVGA version, but my understanding is that this ASUS version run cooler and quieter. You can look up comparison videos on like 5 or 6 different versions of the gtx780

Double check which card you are looking at. This is the second best card on the market at the moment. 780ti kingpin being the best. And Titan black is equal to this card. I believe you are comparing a 780 to this which is not as good

This is a high end card. I looked at the the FTW version of this card before buying the windforce GHZ model. The GHZ gigabyte model has a better overclock and comes with a back plate. It also runs very quite under load and I have been very happy with it so far. Considering buying a second for sli right now. The only real step up currently available is the Gigabyte 780 Ti GHZ edition if you can find it in stock anywhere and it will cost you about $200 more.

That is a good question. I bought the card for fast data processing instead of gaming, so I would not be a good judge on this one.

Hi, if you plan to overclock your graphics card then I strongly recommend this card. If you don't overclock then I would go with the Superclocked edition. You really can't go wrong with any of these cards but I will say the ACX cooling works very well and is super quiet compared to the vapor chamber single fan coolers that some of the models have. I hope that helps enjoy!!

I am looking to upgrade my old card to use with this board. I won't go past $200 for a single card so the best option might be a GTX660 (Nvidia). I'm sure you can get a better card that won't be bottlenecked, but some people i know who bought this board also bought the GTX560 series cards. Hope I helped.

accelero s1 passive cooler also a good choice...drop 35 deg. off of stock. For the money the XFX is the best card for the buck...if you got the XXX version. ....and do you care what the card looks like in the case, or on your screen?

They are the same base model, but since they are from separate companies, they differ in exact specifications. Also, the one you mentioned is the 4GB memory model, while this one is the 2GB model. 2GB VRAM is usually enough, but 4GB is handy in very high performance gaming. Also EVGA Superclocked isn't necessarily equivalent to MSI Overclocked (they probably aren't). EVGA SC typically has a slightly higher frequency boost. There may be other differences. The specifications should clarify for each card.

The current GTS is beaten by the new 8800GT and the 8800GT is only beat by 8800GTX barely. There will be a new revamped 8800GTS later out this month but if you an get your hands on a 8800GT and with a little overclocking you have a superb card at a great deal in your hands. Bonus it has DirectX 10 support.
