So I just purchased a EVGA GTX 780 and I was doing a quick benchmark in Heaven to see the results and it tripped my breaker in my apartment. Is this common under heavy load for a GPU? (I have a 750W PSU)

Im going to guess that you have your PC plugged into a power strip or some kind. And that you are probably pulling more from that breaker than the breaker is capable of putting out. Little tip, you shouldn't have your PC, Surround sound, TV, Satalite, Toaster, vacume, vibrator plugged into 1 circut. :)

I had a 660 before this and never had any issues...i find it strange that my 780 would trip it. I was doing a stress test though so..
