Hello,

I am doing research on the variations of the GTX 780 Ti cards for a new build. I plan to do watercooling with a pre-configured H100i kit.

Looking at PCPartPicker it seems there are several from EVGA and ASUS (my prefered brands) but I can not tell the difference between them based on the specs given by PCPP.

https://pcpartpicker.com/parts/video-card/#m=8,14&c=153...

EVGA 03G-P4-2883-KR - Superclocked
EVGA 03G-P4-2881-KR
EVGA 03G-P4-2884-KR - Superclocked ACX
Asus GTX780TI-DC2OC-3GD5 - DirectCU II
EVGA 03G-P4-2888-KR - Dual Classified ACX
EVGA 03G-P4-3888-KR
Asus GTX780TI-3GD5
EVGA 03G-P4-3887-KR - Classified K Edition

I have read a few threads that said the SC ACX would be good for watercooling builds, but I don't know if any others would be negative.

It will be a casual gaming rig, but at the same time have to be able to stream currently played games, stream other games (via Twitch) while playing in a game, and be used for coding/graphic design/video rendering. It will also be running 3 monitors, non-SLI. I most likely won't overclock it because I want it to last a while.

I want power with ultra settings for all said above, but minimal noise due to my Tinnitus (constant ringing in my ears).

Anyone with experience in this field would be a great help. Until looking at the cards more, I didn't realize there were so many variations. Thanks.

There's not much between any of them. See http://hothardware.com/Reviews/NVIDIA-GeForce-GTX-780-T...!8CNa3

You left Gigabyte off.


There's no need to watercool any of those. They all have excellent coolers. If you insist on watercooling, just get the cheapest GTX780Ti you can find and put watercooling on that. Even an old reference cooler one.

Just looking for a "casual" gaming rig, any of those cards will do, but go with the cheapest one that isn't reference.
The Classified edition is for overclocking and such, so if you're into that you can buy that.

The names at the end are usually just custom coolers/addons to the card.

"Superclocked" defines a graphics processor that is Factory Overclocked.
"ACX" defines a graphics processor that features EVGA's custom cooler.
"Direct CUII" is the same thing as "ACX."
