Hi people I will make a new config pc but I hesitated between 3 graphics cards. The first is the Gtx 780 Classified I saw many well this card and in addition it has a huge Overclocking.

The second card is the Gtx 780 galaxy Hof because apparently this is the best gtx 780! .

And the last card is the r9 290 Tri-X because it 4gb ram it very well cooled and apparently it has performance matching the 780Ti. Here ^ ^ I want the best graphics card with the performance ^ ^

PS: I do not intend to play a battlefield 4 but surely I count against OC!

The 780 HOF is the fastest of the bunch and overclocks like you wouldnt believe. At stock, you won't be able to see a difference in the cards. The 290x, to anything i have read, does NOT have the same performance as the 780ti, but is more equivalent to the 780. If you wan't the best single card, the 780 ti has the crown no matter what review you look at...but it is also the most expensive.

The 780 and 290x will basically be neck and neck in most/all tests, while the 780 overclocks slightly better than the 290 (aftermarket coolers didn't help the performance as much as people had hoped). When both overclocked, the 780 will usually come out on top, and the 780 HOF will blow the 290 away in anything but a highly amd optimized game...

Basically if you have a budget, get the cheaper between the 780 and 290 (though according to what i've read, the 780 is just simply faster, and in some cases cheaper than the 290 after overclocking). Also the 780 comes with ac4, batman, and splinter cell

The Classified is good as well. EVGA is considered the best maker of Nvidia cards. I personally was going to get the Classified but decided to go with the reference version because I planned on water cooling later, and it overclocked to above the Classified speeds without even increasing the voltage. It doesn't hurt that I got lucky with my ASIC quality, 83%.

Ok so thank you again for your reply so now what card to choose between a 780 and a 780 Classified HOF? I would like to know that card has the best OC potencial and better performance ^^

the HOF is the fastest 780 hands down, but the damn thing is huge and slightly more expensive lol, that's about all there is to it :p also both classified and HOF are much quieter than reference, but both quiet enough to where you wouldnt notice the noise difference between classified and HOF

i personally LOVE the classified models from evga. Im not a huge fan of galaxy products as the HOF model if you read up on reviews actually has terrible reviews. Same could be found im sure about evga cards but i've never had a issue with them and they overclock like a beast.

But do remember the difference between cards of the same chip and difference between different cards will always be a much greater performance gap, whereas you are looking at a max of 5-8% between cards of the same chip. so it's also a matter of which one you like the look of better at this point, because they are close enough in performance to where you may not be able to tell which card is which in a blind test

Yes, as these cards are substantially more powerful than even the new consoles that came out last year and can play most games on ultra with only one card installed. Some demanding games you might not be able to max, but even the 780ti barely maxes all modern games at 1080p resolution. It's all about what you are willing to spend for performance my friend. Also you may want to make sure it is compatible with your system, as an underpowered cpu will bottleneck these cards, and an underpowered power supply will cause all sorts of other problems
