Hi, i had to return my 780ti MSI twin forzr addition due to it being faulty (artifacts on screen at times) so I'm returning it and getting a refund/replacement MSI twin forzr. Now I have the option of looking at the different brands on the 780ti should i go with.....

EVGA SC ACX Cooling (£515)
MSI twin forzr (515)
gigabyte wind force (£503)

or others within that price range

I've heard great things about EVGA products so i MAY go with them. The EVGA SC has a slightly lower clock speed than the MSI and gigabyte edition around -10 on the core). But that's nothing i can just add +10 to the core with precision.

So advise guys?

The EVGA is the best in my opinion, the cooler is quiet and keeps my 760 running amazingly cool.

Completely agree with psychogaminglemon, if you want a video card to last a long time go with EVGA, and if you want overclock the GPU go with Gigabyte Windforce series.

hmm I'm not a huge overclocker, I don't play with voltages, but may clock it a little. Should i still go with EVGA?

you just said you can bump it up 10 in pres, i would use Afterburner but what ever.... the EVGA SC is about 2 (1.9435) dba louder then the msi gaming ed. You cant play with voltage on any Nvidia card other then the Titan and the EVGA K|NgP|n Edition, thats 870$ And is meant to be used with liquid nitro... Why not just do RMA on the msi card?

From my research i found the MSI gaming the best as far as cooling/noise... I have had my gtx 780 ti msi gaming card for about 4 months with no issues running it at 1202Mhz about 4-6 hours a day at 100% load everyday. Love the card stays at ~70c max and can't hear the gpu fans at all. I'd get the MSI again... but if you really wanted to switch any of the others mentioned ( gigabyte windforce/evga acx ) are also great choices.

That's an option byte I'm just asking for some advise while i can. After some reading i saw that a lot of people prefer EVGA.

Its not a opinion... the EVGA Cooler on average at the same clock speed for core and memory and temperature target is about 2 DBa louder then the MSI cooler.

Do they state why they prefer the evga? I mean do they have both cards side by side? From the research i did before buying my card the evga was louder and warmer and performed the same in-games (fps wise)...

I'm guessing its their customer service. I'll just RMA the card :)
