Hi,
Every time I see a 'which gtx 780?' thread where the Inno3D GeForce GTX 780 iChill HerculeZ X3 Ultra is mentioned, it always gets overlooked.
Why is this?
On hexus and other review websites it always gets rave reviews and comes highly recommended.
I *think* I've consumed pretty much all material available comparing aftermarket 780s and as far as I can see, overclocking aside, the Inno3d card comes out on top
It's certainly the coolest (on air) running card available, and one of the quietest (fans left on auto) due to the mammoth HSF.
In group tests it seems to almost always trump every other aftermarket card in 3dmark/crisis 3/unigine/battlefield 4 etc.
I've just started looking at AISC (ASIC?) quality, and voltage regulators and noticed that the card is reference rather than the asus, evga etc. 8+2 improved regulation, which is the only downside I can see, however, the fact the card runs much cooler may offset this?
sustained heat kills electronics, as many of our products at work prove, so my initial thoughts are that provided you leave the factory overclock alone and don't push the boundaries, and leave the card operating cool and quiet, it should be fine?
By all means, I'm no GPU/electronics expert, the last system build I did was about a decade ago with a 3850 in it, so I'm out of touch, but any thought's about this card would be very welcome!!
cheers,
