Hello.

I want to get the 780 Ti, and in my country is so difficult to find the ACX cooler model. I want to know if there is any difference between the regular 780 Ti w/ ACX cooler and the superclocked version (with the ACX cooler as well) despite the stock core speed. Can I overclock the 780 Ti w/ ACX to the superclocked version's speed with the same temperatures that the SC version gets with those speeds?

Also, I want to know if there is any difference in terms of temperature between the ACX cooler and the Windforce cooler from Gigabyte (that version isn't even avaliable right know)

Thanks, and sorry for my english. I'm from Spain.

the SC is just an overclocked version that uses binned chips to manufacture. basically its rated to operate at that frequwncy. there is a high chance a non SC will be able to OC to that level too, so i dont see a point in getting an SC version for many more $.


also, windforce is a very capable cooler, but looks ugly (imo) since it doesnt make any effort to cover the fin array, whilst ACX does a nice job on cooling your card, while still making it look sleek, plus EVGA is a very good brand that knows what theyre doing, and ive never had any problems with RMAs and such.

Ok, thanks.
I have another question... I've seen the SC ACX version getting to 1.3 GHz. Would the non SC be capable to get that frequency? I don't know why I'm bothering with this since the SC version isn't freaking avaliable in my country, but I do want to overclock the card and I don't want to have any problems with that for saving 30 dollars or so. What worries me most is that in summer it can get to 100 fahrenheit degrees, so... yeah.

The cooler is the same, the temperatures should be the same too, isn't it?

classified cards are higher tier models, usually clocked higher, having better cooling and binned chips :)
