Best GTX 780ti?

Solution


Well a company like MSI sells thousands of GPUs every month, so you will hear people complaining about a lot of things.
One of this is coil whine. The card might be defective sometimes (all companies have defective products). People shopuld change their graphic cards through RMA.
Also sometimes people have experienced coil whine from different hardware pieces placed together. p.e: a mobo and a PSU if they placed together you can hear a coil whine while using different mobo or PSU, the whine stops...

One more thing. If there is something that has problems with coil whines, this is the PSU. As you can see the Corsair AX860...

EVGA, good warranty
Gigabyte, good after market cooling
MSI, cheapest of them all, and good quality

You can't go wrong with any of them.

Also make sure you have a PSU with at least 42A on the 12v rail, if not you are gonna have problems, if you can list your specs that will be great.
 
Have to agree The MSI gaming gtx 780 ti is pretty much the best GTX 780 Ti for the price... Its the one I got :) I've had it for about 7 months running at 1200Mhz about 4 hours a day, no issues at all and temps are never over 72c with the overclock.

I edited my previous post before i saw this... Just wanted to re-say i've had mine for over 7 months with no issues at all... Don't know if i got lucky or that people are more likely to give reviews when they have issues.... I think it is a very small percentage that have this problem.

As you can see the Corsair AX860 according to a lot of people suffer a lot more from coil whine and other problems. This is true that shit happens but when corsair sells thousands of products per day there will be problems like these.
So I bought it and after 1 year I can say that it passed my expectations a lot. Not only It didn't had any coil whine like a lot of reviews saying but it also worked always on passive making it dead silent (I thought that on rough games like Crysis3 I would pass the limit). TechpowerUp at the same time was giving AX860 a 9.6 higher than any <1000 watt PSU.
The answer about "they are selling thousand products each month, there will be 2-3 defectives" its not coming from me but from Corsair when they asked them about that.
Same happens with MSI...

Edit: Oh and about the quality of MSI products. Its true that I haven't bought lately an MSI GPU. But apart from this PC I have 2 more. The first one still runs an MSI GTX275 with the new those days twinfrozr cooler. After 5 years still runs with absolutely no problem. Hell with their *fart* pattern I never ever cleaned the GPU fans... Now the last PC has an MSI 7600GS GPU which is more or less 8 years old, still works perfectly (although for today games is meh). But this is not the star of my MSI quality. Although its not a GPU the last PC has an MSI 865 PE motherboard, which is 11 years old... All of my PCs work in daily basis...
