Hey guys I returned my Evga 780 Classified due to a fault giving me $700 store credit. But now I am interested in the 780 ti classified but its $999. And the superclocked its $899. From what I can tell the superclocked and Classified are quite similarly specked. I have read detailed information on both and I believe the classified has different power cables, but given its few additional features, does it make the card worth an additional $100? I live in Australia so there is no options as to where i can buy this card. Also will the release of the 780 Titan Black Edition potentially reduce the price of the 780 TI? Cheers guys, I have been without a gfx card for a month now just using my inbuilt gfx from my 4670k. But desperately need my gfx card.
EVGA 780 TI Superclocked Vs Classified

Where are you seeing these prices? MSRP on the base 780ti is 700, the SC is 720, and the classified is 760. Anyone charging you a grand for a classified is majorly ripping you off.
Anyways, to answer your question the superclocked and the classified are not similar at all, other than being the same GPU. The classified has a different PCB with better VRMs on it, as well as a dual bios. It is designed for Ocing in particular with increased voltage. The superclocked is the stock PCB with a very small factory overclock, and depending on which one, it may have the axial cooler. The performance difference is potentially considerable, if you are going to take advantage of it. Otherwise don't spend the extra money. Either way though you are getting way ripped off by that store. If they won't bring the price down to MSRP I would buy the reference for the 700 dollar credit and then sell it and buy from a good store.
Hi sorry for the late reply, as I was moving houses I didn't have internet. The U.S prices for the parts are considerably cheaper then here in Australia. Just about every computer part costs more here. When I built my computer original with PC Part picker my original price was $1800, once I built it I changed into $3000. Regardless as they do not credit refunds I have a store credit at the moment of $1300 with 'Computer Parts Land' here in Australia so I can only go off what they are offering and the prices are set. Here is a link to their site http://www.cplonline.com.au/catalogsearch/result/?q=780+ti&x=0&y=0
So basically at the moment my updated thinking is that in the future I will be purchasing a waterblock for my GFX card as I am incorporating a custom loop into my setup. As I currently have my CPU a 4670k overclocked to 4.7 ghz at 1.28 v I am already pushing my system to the limits I will definitely be doing the same with my GFX card which is why i'm tossing up if the Classified is worth it for the extra $100.
However as news has become evident that the Nvidia Titan black edition is releasing soon essentially a 780 ti with 6 GB of memory i'm wondering if its worth waiting for its release as I might see this classified drop in price or if it won't as its under a different title. If that's the case i'm wondering if I should just wait until the 790 is released next month. I know there is always a new product coming out around the corner but I haven't found much information regarding the 790 and if it will be superior to the 780 TI. If the price does drop on the 780 Ti Classified then I would probably just go for that if the performance difference wont be great between it and the 790.
For anybody that reads this I apologize for the gigantic block of text that you probably just read, and I know that nobody can definitely tell me what to do until actual performance specs & results have been released. What I am looking for is anybody familiar with the industry to potentially have a better read on the situation then I am and can give some logical advise. The only reason I am being patient and reaching out for help is due to the fact that this is the most expensive machine I will probably ever build and I want to do things right. I already jumped into some of my purchases and regretted it and as the card is $1000 and I have already sent back 3 cards I am pushing my luck as it is and this final decision is very important.
Once again thanks for your input and great advice

Well the Titan black, if it actually happens, won't have an impact on the 780ti prices. The original titan is still retailing for the same 1000 dollars US when it was released so yea. The 790 if it is actually released will just be two 780ti on one card so from a performance standpoint you aren't really going to see any difference. Anyways, just get the classified and be done with it. You'll be happy with it.

The only difference between the 780 Ti Superclocked and Classified is that the Classified has a higher overclock potential.
They are basically the same card, but the chips that happen to be better (less power consumption, more stable, etc. ==> better overclocking potential) get made into the classified. If you don't want to overclock, just get what ever is the cheapest 780 Ti. If you do plan on overclocking, then the Classified is worth consideration. But at $100 more, it is not worth it, IMO. At the RSVP of just $30 (US) it is a pretty good deal, but at $100 I would stay away.

This is completely not true. The superclocked comes on a reference PCB. The classified comes on a non reference PCB, which much more powerful voltage regulation. Considering he is going to be putting it under water, thats kind of a big deal; they aren't "basically the same card" at all.
To the original poster. What do you want people to say here? Every single suggestion by every single person on what to get you shoot down with a "but what if....". This is probably why you have already returned the card three times. Really, shit or get off the pot as the saying goes.
Thanks for the replies I appreciate it I am going to suck it up and get the classified. The reason I have sent th card back is also not for the reasons your thinking. I bought a 770 in which the day after I bought there was a $200 price cut on it and $150 on the 780 gfx so I sent it back and got the 780. When I got the 780 due to the common manufacturing fault with this particular model had a resonating sound / rattle when the fans spun. There is home fixes for it but the store said they would issue a store credit and I took that option. I then went on holidays for 2 months so I didn't look into it until now. And usually allot happens in 2 months of the computer world. But thanks again everybody for your help
